Description
I am Soo. I live in Cairns with my teenage Son Simon.
I am a registered nurse, midwife and massage therapist.
I am struggling to get my house organised.
I am widowed 5 years.
I need help to get my house and garden properly maintained.
I have a 4 bedroom house, I currently use one of the rooms for my massage business.
I have a large covered space outside, garden at the front and back and a small shed at the back.
You will have the living room which is a large room for yourself.
My workaway experience is suitable for independent adults over 28 ideally a couple or 2 people travelling together. As both of us are quiet. If you are travelling alone feel free to contact me for consideration if you want.
Also I prefer my guests to have dinner with us, food either prepared by them or myself. As I am very busy and my teenage son is also quite busy the most contact you will have with us will be at dinner time.
I will cook traditional food 1 to 2 times a week as my schedule allows.
I will give you a broad guidance of what needs to be done. If you don't know how to do the task please ask for more guidance. I expect you to the task without me as I have very busy schedule.
Also if you have certain skills, feel free to share them with me. I may be able to give you some tasks to match your skills.

Even though they are very busy and always working, they made sure I have enough food and I am okay.
Soo also took me to the night market and the Lagoon, drove me to the train station for a day trip or to the harbour. She also helped me with my ear issue.
