I've taken a bartending class and feel confident in my ability to handle a busy bar and create cocktails for guests.https://vagabondcindy.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/santacruz1.jpgSantacruz1Waiting/Serving:  I spent several years waiting tables - a job that I greatly enjoyed.  I like the social aspect of the job.  It's hard and fast paced work, but I liked the challenge.  Recently in the hostel world, I find that my experience allows me to be efficient in my work and multi-task.https://vagabondcindy.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/philadelphia2.jpgPhiladelphia2Sewing:  Another skill mastered at a young age.  My mother sewed, making clothes and household items and I learned to sew working with her.   I've made dresses, coats, curtains, quilts, pillows, purses, aprons and whatever has come to mind.https://vagabondcindy.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/nancy20.jpgNancy20Driving:  This is not necessarily a unique skill.  But I am a very safe driver, with a clean record.  I am comfortable in new surroundings.https://vagabondcindy.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/kitchen01.jpgKitchen01Heavy cleaning:  I enjoy a big cleaning job.  An opportunity to clean out, re-paint, and re-organize.   I'm not afraid of deep cleaning and I like to use natural cleaning products like peroxide, vinegar and baking soda.  Most  things can be cleaned with just these three items.https://vagabondcindy.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/zz33.jpgzz33Cooking:  I am a pretty good cook and enjoy experimenting in the kitchen.  Some of my specialties include Lasagna Rolls, Honey Mustard Chicken and Rice, Perfect Pancakes and Chicken Pesto Soup.   I've held mini-cooking classes at home for friends who are kitchen shy.  Cookbooks are an addiction for me, I'm always trying new recipes and techniques in the kitchen.https://vagabondcindy.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/zz1.jpgzz1Computer Skills: I have worked in technology all my life, so I have many variations of skills in this area.
