Greetings!
We are a small family of two - My husband, and I. We live in our private home in Yonkers, Westchester county, New York, in a quiet residential neighborhood. We are an hour away from New York City- "The City That Never Sleeps"
I enjoy being a Workawayer as well as a host, I have traveled extensively. We have had some amazing experiences hosting international guests. We are easy going and love meeting people from all walks of life and sharing experiences.
Our lives are pretty fast paced and we could use some general help around the house and property. No matter what your skills are, there's always something to do around here. Bring your enthusiasm and willingness.
l work full time in a high school as a School Counselor and my husband is an accountant by career. Our daughter is all grown and moved out, she works in a hospital. We want to learn about other cultures and get to know the diversity of people from all walks of life.
I love New York because of it's cosmopolitan, vibrant cultural life, and diverse population, energy and world class food options- Lots of attractions and sightseeing.
My family enjoy traveling/exploring, reading, outdoor activities, gardening, jogging and running and we engage in un paid volunteer work on weekends.

Hannah was fun loving, had a vibrant personality and very sociable. It was so easy to host her, never demanding, and yet a hard worker.
She assisted us with house chores such as cleaning, organizing, receiving our guests and contractors during our kitchen remodeling. I highly recommend every host to welcome Hannah to their home.
