COUPLE : Delphine & Aksels
Delphine (FR + ENG) :
Hello, my name is Delphine, I come from Belgium, but am moving with my partner to Switzerland shortly.
Working internationally for most of my career, I have experience in education for the last 9 years and clients relations in my early jobs. Extremely methodical and tidy person, I am also smiling and discreet, yet efficient and meeting timeframes. On top of helping in organising the house or a more complex agenda, I have a Montessori education and have been teaching for almost a decade, which makes me an ideal fit to work with children as well. My most recent position has been to work for private families, but I have been doing that on and off since I work in education. Babies, toddlers as well as school aged children have been under my care for nannying as well as French teaching for non-native students. I enjoy working with private families more than anything else for the close and personal bond that creates itself between all the parties involved and often blossoms into beautiful years of great collaboration. A lot of the families for whom I worked became dear friends. I am looking forward to finding a place where I can bring help, support, efficiency, good mood and an extra pair of hands in everyday life !
In the process of moving to Switzerland during the spring, I am planning to pass my driver licence as soon as I arrive, as I understand the capital importance of having one to work privately. For anything I would need to learn, I’m always up for a challenge !
Aksels (ENG) :
Hello, my name is Aksels, I come from Latvia, but am moving with my partner to Switzerland shortly. Since finishing High School, I have been working in various top restaurants and kitchens in Riga and all around Latvia. During my career I had the opportunity to work alongside great chefs such as Kristaps Reimanis and Jānis Osis and get some knowledge from Ēriks Dreibants and Mārtiņš Sirmais, who are celebrity chefs of our country. During the course of getting to know my industry better, I worked on a free range chicken farm, which allowed me to get to know the process of biological farming as well as terrain regeneration and the structure of such a business. Between different work missions, I did some house building and fencing work, where I learned how to coordinate other team members to finish projects in a certain timeline, as well as fundamental knowledge in construction.
My most recent job title has been as a private chef for a surfing camp in Portugal. My tasks were to maintain the tidiness of the kitchen for all its uses : breakfast, lunch and dinner were planned in advance, I was in charge of the recipes, plating and service. The pantry and stock were also one of my responsibilities, as well as the shopping for groceries and planning the work of my assistants.
I am at the moment passing my drivers license and will be in possession of a Category B permit when I arrive.
