  • Beschreibung

    I'm confident, enthusiastic and organised. I love creating adventures and putting myself in situations where I need to adapt and learn quickly.

    Over the last three years, I've been housesitting via the website Trusted Housesitters, and have nearly 60 5-star reviews (https://www.trustedhousesitters.com/user/profile/edit/profile-preview). It's been a privilege to be trusted with people's homes and pets, and I'm bringing all that experience to Workawaying - with the added benefit of meeting lovely new people.

    I took early retirement last summer and did my first Workaway in Germany in October 2022, teaching English for 4 weeks. Since then I've done 3 more Workaway experiences in France, and one more in Germany. I love anything that feels like a win-win on both sides, and where the currency is not money but trust and goodwill. I'm always happy to share language and culture with my hosts, and it's great to help people to progress their projects, while picking up new skills myself.

  • Was könntest du arbeiten?

    I have years of life experience, and have retired early in order to travel, meet new people and try new things. I can offer the following skills:

    Language Practice
    English is my mother tongue and I enjoy teaching English to non-native students. I speak French and Italian and for the past year I've been learning German.

    Animal Care
    My house and pet sitting experiences have taught me about adaptability and the importance of leaving everything as found, or better.

    Eco Projects and Gardening
    I grew up around gardening and food growing and had my own smallholding, with hens, a pig, meat rabbits, vegetables and fruit. I belong to a local natural history societies, am a passionate birdwatcher and constantly learning about the natural world.

    Community Living
    I have stayed in a couple of communities in the UK and the idea of community living fascinates me. Workaways on communities will allow me to explore this lifestyle, while contributing in a meaningful way to other people's projects.

    Hospitality/Tourism
    I've been a receptionist, a youth hostel warden and an English representative on a French campsite. I'm good with people and love the customer-facing role.

    Children and Babysitting
    I am a grandmother to a young toddler and look after her several times a week. My daughter is a teacher and I have volunteered in her classroom with children aged from 3 to 11 years.

    Cooking
    I have a certificate in food safety and have volunteered in a charity cafe. I value good nutrition and enjoy cooking healthy food.

    Computers
    I have good IT skills and can upload and edit website content.

    Music
    I play a little piano and enjoy singing and music-making for fun. I'm involved with our local concert hall and help out both back stage and front of house.

    Sport
    I love hiking, cycling and yoga.
