NAMASTE EVERYONE
I AM AVAILABLE NOW AND IF SOMEONE NEEDS A WAW ANYTIME OVER THE NEXT 8 WEEKS PLEASE GET IN TOUCH.
OTHERWISE
I WILL BE LOOKING FOR A WAW POSITION PROBABLY FROM MARCH/APRIL ONWARDS POSSIBLE SOUTHERN FRANCE BUT OPEN TO ANY EXCITING OFFERS THAT MAY COME MY WAY.
I HAVE AN ENHANCED DBS POLICE CHECK.
Since starting to meditate daily and becoming a WORKAWAY I have been feeling pretty euphoric because of the wonderful experiences I have been having. I would recommend this way of life to everyone.

The following information is useful to know so you can access if your household is conducive to my requirements. I do hope they don't stand in my way of joining you!! :-)
I AM A NON SMOKER SO I AM LOOKING FOR A NON SMOKING ENVIRONMENT.
I AM ALLERGIC TO ANIMALS SO A PET FREE ZONE IS PREFERABLE.
I am a mature, single lady with no commitments, looking for my next adventure. A reliable, honest, conscientious, caring, enthusiastic individual happy to contribute, using any skills I have to help families or businesses I am staying with.
I meditate daily and enjoy yoga so I am a calm lady with a positive outlook on life, I attend the gym, walk regularly, and enjoy being outdoors, I appreciate the beauty of nature, the countryside and walks on the beach. I enjoy photography, reading, listening to podcasts, music, and having a coffee whilst socialising with friends. I have a deep interest in psychology and life coaching.
When I have time I have helped a local Hospice with collections and doing a fun run. I have also contributed to the voluntary library services in my area with book deliveries. For several years at Christmas I have volunteered to help provide a Christmas lunch for people who would otherwise be alone. They were extremely successful and the appreciation received was quite poignant and uplifting.
Most of my work or volunteering has involved childcare and housekeeping and cooking. I love being with children so roles involving children is a joy! Hopefully the next position is not too far away.
I have also been a live in carer for the elderly which too was rewarding but in a very different way. So looking after others is a passion for me, long may it continue!Interessengebiete

I am a people person. I communicate well with others no matter what age they are. I am well organised, patient, adaptable and resourceful. I have owned a Hotel in the past so I have gained many attributes which I can use in my volunteering positions. I am a cooperative team player. I have many years experience in hospitality and catering and retail. I have computer skills and experience with administration having owned a business for 12 years.
Before becoming a Workaway I was a PA for a disabled lady. I am considerate, caring, compassionate and understanding and manage to keep my composure in stressful situations. I have very strong maternal instincts having children and grand children, so child care is a desirable option for me. So far the time spent with little ones as a volunteer has been so joyful and emotionally very special. Long may it last!
In recent times I have been a full time live in carer which has been very rewarding but pretty demanding so I am ready to take a well earned break from full time caring and volunteer when an appealing volunteering position arises. I look forward to considering offers from any families in the very near future. Anywhere in Europe would be great.Was noch ...
Over the last 5 years ago I decided to be a little adventurous and try out a live in work away position. Before joining the site the only previous example was a week in a Buddhist center which was very beneficial to me. I felt a great peace and happiness within when I left.
I have welcomed the challenge of temporarily relocating, living life in a completely different way and meeting new people. I am an amiable lady so I have been making new friends a long the way. Ideally I am looking for a position up to 6 weeks if that suits the host, but I am open to offers on shorter stays also.
My first Workaway placement was on Lambay Island. What a wonderful, unique experience that was! The beauty of the Island combined with the enormous kindness and friendliness of the people I met there made it an adventure I will treasure and never forget. This was followed by a stay in a Manor house in Oxfordshire which was a real pleasure.
I spent 5 months in Spain in 2017 with the most wonderful families you could ever meet. I was blessed to spend time with them and their adorable children. My 2 placements were full of laughter and happiness and many beautiful moments that I was privileged to share, heavenly!!
I had 9 weeks in York with a family which was hilarious. I then travelled to Italy for the first time. I had 6 weeks in Milan which was fantastic. I joined a mother and daughter so all girls together and as a bonus gained confidence as a single traveller so happy days! I then moved in with a most generous welcoming family in Genoa another wise choice until January 2018.
In 2019 I joined 2 lovely families in Italy and 1 beautiful family in Madrid and then took some time out from volunteering.
I also done paid work as a live in nanny in the Dolimites 2019/2020 breath taking views and a wonderful job with great people and lived in luxurious accommodation for which I am sincerely grateful.
In 2020 after Lock down I had the pleasure of staying with a family in London which was a great experience. The family were lovely and I also made friends with a French girl and an American couple a real fun, joyful experience.
After having such a successful and joyous 6 years volunteering on and off I look forward with great positivity to seeing what other new experiences come my way. Do please contact me if you feel I meet the criteria you are looking for in your Work-away.
Live life with an attitude of gratitude and the universe fills your life with abundance. Give it a try!!Etwas mehr Information
