I am open to other type of jobs, like babysitting 👶Description
Hi, I'm Naïla, 28 years old, from France !
I am currently doing a working holiday in Japan until January 2026. I studied Japanese language and culture at university for three years before doing a 1 year exchange program in Nagoya in 2020. After graduating, I switched between work in France and travel around Asia 🌏
Thanks to my studies and international family, I can speak French (native), English (advanced) and Japanese (intermediate ).
I want to discover new regions in Japan, such as Hokkaido, Shikoku, and other places I've never been. I would love to experience living together with Japanese people or family for a fully immersive experience. I believe it is the best way to learn about a country and its culture, language, and traditions ! I am used to living in community and believe I am able to respect common and personal space with others. I hope to be able to offer an interesting cultural exchange !
I am an experienced traveler, especially throughout Europe and Southeast Asia. Thanks to those experiences, I am autonomous and adapt quickly to my new environment.
Since my arrival in Japan, I have worked in a hotel in Myoko kogen region during the winter, and then worked in a guesthouse in Takayama, Gifu prefecture. There, I did mainly housekeeping and reception.
Before that, I did a 5-week workaway in Koh Mak Island, Thailand, at an animal clinic and shelter in 2022. I also did house-sitting for friends in France for a few weeks in an autonomous mountain house. Because I love animals and want to become a dog and cat trainer and behaviorist in the future, I have been volunteering at my local animal shelter in France.
I like outdoor activities and want to go skiing, snorkeling, diving, surfing, trecking, and more depending on the regions I will visit !
I am looking forward to making new encounters and meeting you ! 🤗Centres d’intérêt

Quelles sont vos compétences ?
We are quick learners. Ben is very manual and crafty. He has knowledge in woodcraft, electronics, sewing, home repair, etc. He worked for 2 years as a cabinet maker. He loves learning new manual work.
Naïla is used to do various small jobs like taking care of handicapped people, being a waitress in a restaurant, cashier in a supermarket, and working in a horse club (cleaning stables, training horses, etc.). She adapts to every situation quickly. She loves any activity related to animals, she has done a 5 week voluntary in an animal clinic/shelter in Thailand, living with 19 dogs and caring for them daily ! Back in France, she is also a regular volunteer at the local animal shelter.
Both of us worked for 1.5 years in high school as education assistants, which includes helping and managing the students during their school life, monitoring the dormitories during night shifts, doing school paper work, doing activities with the students, working with a team, etc. We are also comfortable and confident with smaller children, as we regularly take care of Ben's niece from her birth to now (5 years old).
We both know how to cook and are actually interested in learning new kind of recipes !Âge

I was pretty stressed at first, having no workaway experience, and learning that I would be the only volunteer past the first week. But Heather and the dogs made it easy for me to quickly adapt and never let me feel lonely. She is the most dedicated, self-sacrificing person I know,… read more
