Description
I am a retired HR professional and I have owned and operated a daycare a Guest House and an bnb. I do not operate any of these businesses any longer during summer months May-September.
I have taken a TEFL course and enjoy sharing my experience and knowledge.
I’m looking for help with gardening, landscaping, cleaning and some interior and exterior painting both at my own home in Guelph and my family cottage near Lions Head, Ontario. My home is well located near the university of Guelph and the waterfront cottage on the Bruce Trail.
I will be present at both locations at all times with a workaway helping me which can be determined upon request.

I have travelled extensively for the past 8 years and have experience as a Workawayer.
