  • Description

    NOTE: I have proof of my Covid vacinations and my Booster.

    Despite my age I am a fit, enthusiastic female. I am hardworking, cheerful and reliable. After many years in the RAF I decided to now have a few years as a Workawayer for long or short periods. Over the last 9 years I have volunteered gardening, working with animals, birds and teaching children in England and abroad so am used to adapting to different environments and like to be outside. I completed my 7th Workaway in March 2014 at a school in the Nepalese Himalayas where I tutored Nepalese children in English and also helped the host with painting and decorating. I have completed a Workaway in April last year, in Dorset, gardening and cutting back trees and weeds in grounds of a plant nursery and have just done 10 days looking after goats at a farm in Derbyshire. .I did a month in Spain, gardening in February. I have also worked at farms and smallholdings in the UK and Europe which involved gardening and vegetable growing and harvesting.

  • What else ...

    I am a happy, optimistic, independent person who is kind and considerate and respectful of other people. Willing to 'muck in' to get jobs done. I am definitely not a hedonist but even though I have lovely family and friends in England (including a grown up son and Granddaughter), I like to travel and get the most out of life. I like to learn new skills and put them into use as you can see from above. Please take the time to consider me and I hope to hear from you soon. Odette
