    Hey how goes it, I'm Jenny, originally from Ireland I've traveled to a few places, Canada being the most frequently visited returning to teach pottery for 3 years at a kids camp.

    The first time and thanks to pandemic the last time I used workaway in 2020 I lived in Pitt Meadows BC, helping to mind twins, where I fell in love with the community through getting little jobs through the facebook community group to clean/organize and paint homes as a way to get a little pocket money to travel around Vancouver before the Pandemic hit, where I also got to live on a hobbie farm through the people I met looking after 3 horses, a donkey, chickens, doggo and cats.

    I particularly loved these experiences as it gave the opportunity to meet some of the most wonderful, kind Canadians ever that make me feel less of a stranger, so grateful for the people I met!

    I have been in Perth for just under 4 months and have done 3 workaways ranging from dog sitting to cleaning out a engine room, so not afraid to get my hands dirty!

    Work;
    I do part time UX/UI design so I do need a good internet connection and a little space to work, but other than than I'm very keen at the moment to learn more about gardening and especially permaculture since i'm very aware it's only a matter of time before AI claims my current job!

    Hobbies;
    I love the outdoors from being immersed in nature from a young age, entering fishing competitions, kayaking, urbexing and hiking to name a few, from these experiences I have gained a great respect for our home planet and love to learn about new sustainable ways to live.

    Passions;
    Along side this I adore art especially illustrating and photography but have done a variety of mediums from my studies for example, ceramics, screen printing, painting, illustrating, graphic design to SFX make-up effects.

    Personality;
    I've been told that I'm a kind, respectful, easy to live with and expect the same from others, I'm laid back but spontaneous always try to say yes to new experiences and invite others to join!

  • Was könntest du arbeiten?

    - ART + PHOTOGRAPHY -
    Studied both, initially taking art and design, then studying Fashion Design and Marketing at uni. From learning these skills i'm particularly interested in graphic design as I love to work with Photoshop, Illustrator and Indesign.
    - GARDENING -
    My dad was a professional gardener at Mount Stewart which is a 19th century estate, owned by the National trust, of which his father was the head gardener before him so over the years they have taught my a lot about plants, having our own large garden with our own vegetable patch.
    - COOKING + BAKING -
    I have loved cooking, have been encouraged from a young age, going to after school cookery clubs to being able to survive of my own cooking at uni with roast dinners, soups, plus many other dishes at uni rather than just frozen bags of food and toast..
    Being mildly lactose intolerant and recently becoming a pescatarian, plus my mum being gluten intolerant so I enjoy finding new recipes for both of us so I know a great Gluten free scone recipe if your interested!
    - CHILD CARE -
    Having worked at a kids camp seasonally being with the same group for up to 2 months at a time I understand how energy and patients this requires but I find to to be some of the most rewarding work as I've made some very strong bond with campers and love to see them return each year growing up becoming their own person, and seeing them use skills I've taught them getting better and better!
    - GENERAL MAINTENANCE -
    Returning to kids camp the past 3 years, when I'm not teaching pottery I'll often be on dinning hall or maintenance, of which I love because it has taught me so many practical skills such as using a hand held jig saw, drilling/mending, painting and using a wood splitter. Along side this my family have often moved from house to house doing it up where they taught me all of their practical skills to take with me in the future so I don't have to pay someone else to come in and paint.
    - CLEANING -
    As part of the maintenance work at camp we cleaning out the cabins between groups, my boss was a stickler for making sure the job was done well, which taught me to pay close attention to detail, while maintaining a fast pace as often there would be a group leaving that morning with another one coming that same day, having 50 or more cabins to get through as a team.
    Having proven to always achieve good work I was also trusted to clean our bosses home as he knew the job would be done right.
    - FISHING + KAYAKING -
    Both more personal hobbies, as I used to enter fishing competitions when I was younger but came away from it due to studying but hope to get back at
    it!
