  • Beschreibung

    Hello! My name is Svitlana. I'm from Kyiv, Ukraine. I'm 38, married to an amazing man and have a 15 months old child. I am a Christian, love God, myself and people around me. I do sports, eat healthy, don't smoke, don't drink alcohol. I enjoy learning about new cultures and discovering new places.

    I am a psychologist, my mission is to help people to recover their self-value after abuse (physical, psychological, sexual etc.), so as my job I provide online sessions and help people to build their boundaries. I finished my Master's degree and now study Positive Psychotherapy. I also train groups and conduct online-classes about what is abuse and harassment.

    I did my first and only workaway in summer 2020, and then I also got a TrustedHousesitters profile (another volunteering website) and made multiple pet and house sits through it. Besides, I have done and organized a lot of volunteering projects in the past and have a serving heart, so I will be glad to bring you gifts of my soul.

    You can check my reviews on TrustedHousesitters: https://www.trustedhousesitters.com/house-and-pet-sitters/united-states/virginia/arlington/l/1443655/?q=eyJmaWx0ZXJzIjp7ImFjdGl2ZU1lbWJlcnNoaXAiOnRydWUsImdlb1BvaW50Ijp7ImxhdGl0dWRlIjozOC44ODEwMSwibG9uZ2l0dWRlIjotNzcuMTA0MjgsImRpc3RhbmNlIjoiNDBrbSJ9fSwiZmFjZXRzIjpbXSwic29ydCI6W3siaW5kZXhlZF9kYXRlIjoiZGVzYyJ9XSwicGFnZSI6MywicmVzdWx0c1BlclBhZ2UiOjI0LCJkZWJ1ZyI6ZmFsc2UsInN0YXRzIjpbXX0%3D

    Now there is war in my country, and I've been working hard to help my country in any ways I can. But it was getting harder and harder to take care of my emotional well being there. I needed recharge but continued to give more. When we got pregnant, it was the last puzzle that made my husband and me decide to leave Ukraine. We moved to the US 17 months ago. Since then we lived in St Louis, MO and in different locations in Virginia. We want to spend 2025 close to DC to explore the area and to meet the locals.

  • Was könntest du arbeiten?

    I am a Psychologist. I can listen to people emphatically. Can work with groups to solve conflicts. I can use or teach non-violent communication.

    I am a trainer of communication. I can provide group-activities as team-buildings or just fun games. I can teach boundaries and non-violent communication principles.

    I am a playback theatre actor. It's an improvisation theatre, where we play stories that have just been told by the audience. I can play it as a mono-theatre performance, as well as teach the others to play it. It's an amazing way of emotional rest, plus also an incredible possibility of inter-cultural connection.

    I can also do workshops in storytelling or contact dancing.

    I can do workouts (yoga/pilates/stretching) with groups (I'm not an expert in it, but I go through online classes every morning, so I could try to show the postures).

    I can baby-sit and play developmental games with kids or just have fun together. It's important to give full attention to the kids and just enjoy and fully immerse in the activities with them.

    I can do some hand-made DIY decorations, I'm good at creating smth with my hands, have a good taste and love to reuse materials.

    I can teach my native languages (Ukrainian, Russian), English or basics of German. I can teach a bunch of things. Every time I learn smth new - I want to share this knowledge with the whole world ))

    I can help developing social networks presence but preferably would spend time outdoors (not at the PC, since I do it a lot usually).

    I can do gardening or cleaning. I am able to maintain an apartment/house/chalet. I had experience of house-sitting for houses and apartments multiple times from 1 to 7 months.

    I can take care of animals. I made many pet sits (dogs, cats, lizards). I watched single and multiple pets, old and young ones, small animals and giant Great Dane dogs. I watched a 3-legged cat, a blind dog, a deaf dog, dogs with special instructions, and anxious cat (I was the first sitter she did allow to touch her and even slept in my bed), a cat with mobility issues, a dog with separation anxiety who can't stay alone. Some pets needed pills put in their food or directly into their throat, others needed eye drops, and some others required help while eating or using toilet.

    I am able to declutter and sort things with Marie Kondo method (everything categorized and placed in a comfortable way). I can help sort or pack things, or find the best way to keep them.

    I can do logistics, or meet people, fill in some forms, organize people or processes - I'm guru in organizing and thinking about details to make everything running smooth and everyone feeling welcomed.

    I am a very easy-going person, therefore I can meet tourists and help them feel welcomed. I'm really good in communication and selling. Moreover, I can use knowledge of foreign languages (I can speak English/Russian/Ukrainian fluently, and some basics of German too).

    I am good with computers, I can create a website (out from a constructor), help with developing social networks and marketing.

    I can make pretty good photos on my iphone. I love taking pictures of both people and places. It can be as a gift for your guests or as an advertisement of your place.

    I am ready to serve in the best ways that will benefit your project, and will be glad to get bed and food in return.

    If we travel with my husband - it's a superpower because he is a very handy person. He is an IT developer so he is great at computers. He is also good at construction, electricity, gardening, art projects, theatre, animals and kids care. His hobby is creating smart things (for example, he can make light switch off/on from an iphone. He also gave "brains" to his grandpa's old car so it can be controlled by an iphone). He is very responsible and initiative. Oh, he is really cool!))
