Beschreibung

Hi, my name is Jess and I currently live in the UK.
I have spent nearly all of 2022 doing workaways and have loved every minute!
I first worked in greenhouses helping to grow pepper plants. I then moved onto helping a food charity in London, and more recently helping at an animal sanctuary.
Before workaways however, I was a gardener for a few years.
It was very hard work but I loved being outside and around nature - plus it's good exercise! I am used to working whatever the weather and am quite self-motivated, well organised and a bit of a perfectionist!
I have also worked doing cleaning, house sitting and dog sitting.

Some of my interests include cooking, painting, reading, gardening, meditation, yoga...(attempting yoga!)
I'm really interested in learning more about permaculture, eco builds, and off-grid living. All of that good stuff!
I also LOVE animals (Cows are my favourite) so a farm stay would be awesome too. I grew up on farms, so I would be more than happy to revisit that lifestyle!

If I'm doing workaways in the UK - I would be travelling around on my motorbike, and usually bring it with me everywhere. So if you have any parking for it, that would be brilliant!
Please message me if you have any questions about anything :)

Was könntest du arbeiten?

Most of my skills are hands on and physical. I'm not afraid to work hard and I love the feeling of accomplishment!
I'm happy to do any outside jobs, and working as a gardener taught me many skills and has made me a hard worker.
Gardening is a very physical job and is very tough sometimes. But I'm very good at following orders and getting on with the work. I can use most machinery with confidence such as lawnmowers, strimmers, rotavators...
However, I can also do lighter things like weeding, planting, pruning, tidying, etc.

I have lots of experience with animals. I grew up on farms and helped with feeding the animals and making sure they were all happy and healthy! :)
I have since helped at an animal sanctuary, and have loved looking after a wider variety of animals. My jobs included feeding the animals in the mornings and evenings, as well as completing cleaning jobs during the day. I also learnt how to give some of the smaller animals their daily medications.

I have also been helping out my family in renovating a house in France. I have been planning the garden and fixing outbuildings, as well as doing jobs inside like sanding wooden flooring, painting, removing old wooden ceilings and walls.
I also spent lockdown there creating an allotment from scratch, with raised beds making sure to use recycled materials like an old table and chairs as wooden planks, to create things in the most sustainable way. :)
I would love to help with any vegetable gardens and permaculture projects, as I feel like my experience with gardening could help!
I can also offer to help with cleaning and any housework and cooking. I have lots of experience with all of these. As well as house sitting and dog sitting.
