Jade

Hello there, my name is Jade, a 20 year old girl studying Food Technology in Wageningen University. I was born and raised in Malaysia. I like to read about self-development/improvement and during my free time I draw and write my diary. One of my main hobbies is also cooking. I can speak 3 languages. My mother tongue is Mandarin Chinese, and I also speak fluent English and Malay. I also understand a little bit of Dutch, just een beetje ;) I try to learn as much as I can though! I cook, I run, I cycle, I play the piano, I draw, I paint, I'm a great listener. I've always been a science student but I enjoy arts as well. My favourite subjects back in high school were geography and history. Putting what I love to do and what I can do aside, I have two lovely dogs back at home in Malaysia. One is the mother, named Kiki and her son is called Tiny. Kiki has been living with us ever since she was 10 months old and she is now 8 years old. Back at home every evening my twin and I would always take them for a walk around the neighbourhood, as it is their most favourite thing to do. I can say I have enough experiences with dogs because I also have 2 older sisters and before my twin and I were even born, my family already had been having dogs in our house. And from the time I was born until now we have had like more than 5 dogs already. And Kiki has been with us for the longest time, through thick and thin. Every time I see dogs walking on the streets with their owners in the Netherlands it just makes me miss my dogs so much. Although taking care of other dogs would not feel the same, it would be so awesome to also make some new doggie friends during my stay here in the Netherlands!

I usually spend about 30 minutes to an hour walking with my dog. As my dogs are small dogs, I know that I shouldn't let them get close to bigger dogs. Even though sometimes smaller dogs appear to be more fierce than larger ones ;p As for home visits, I can do a number of things like feeding, showering and cleaning the dog/where he sleeps etc, and spending time with them of course. I don't mind spending long hours as long as there is a place for me to study/do my assignments. I also have experiences from trimming my dogs' hair from time to time, I am however not a professional groomer though. If you have any other questions/special requests, feel free to message me!
