Description
About me.
First and foremost: I am allergic to fragrances/perfumes. That includes personal hygiene products that contain perfume. They need to be unscented. So, if you wear any perfume, then, this Workaway is is not the right fit. This is not negotiable.
I provide high quality scent-free personal hygiene products during your stay here. Free of charge.
I’m a woman in my 40s, currently transitioning from teaching languages to becoming a psychotherapist. I’m enrolled in a Master’s in psychotherapy and living a fairly calm, structured life focused on study and personal growth.
I enjoy the arts, history, music, and reading. I have a background in professional dance and fine arts, and I love singing (pop, soul, gospel). I appreciate meaningful conversations and a peaceful home environment.
The stay
I have one room available for one person, for a minimum of 3 months (longer stays preferred).
This is a quiet, stable home, best suited for someone who enjoys a calm lifestyle and respectful co-living.
House rules & environment
🚫 No guests
🚫 No smoking
🚫 No drugs
🚫 No partying / heavy drinking
🚫 No treating this like a Hotel and going out all night long, or having sleepovers at other homes.
The atmosphere at home is peaceful, clean, and respectful. I value emotional maturity, good communication, and consideration for shared space.
Help & exchange
I’m looking for help with:
regular cleaning and maintaining the space
occasional errands
light practical tasks (e.g., assembling furniture)
This is about keeping the home running smoothly together.
👉 Around 20 hours per week
If you have specific skills (social media, video, music, sewing/alterations, etc.), I’m open to adapting the exchange and reducing hours depending on your contribution.
What I can offer you
Language practice in French or English, depending on your goals
Support with physical exercise routines (I have DIY gym equipment at home)
Guidance on healthy nutrition and lifestyle habits (informal guidance based on personal knowledge and experience)
You are
reliable and honest
emotionally mature and respectful
comfortable with a structured, calm environment
a good and timely communicator
able to follow agreed-upon guidelines and collaborate respectfully
This setup works best for someone who values clarity, stability, and a drama-free atmosphere.
Connection
I’m open to a friendly and respectful connection (shared conversations, occasional time together), while also respecting each other’s space and independence.
Please understand: there is the word "Work" in Workaway. I expect you to respect this arrangement and treat it professionally.
If this resonates with you, feel free to reach out and tell me a bit about yourself 😊
