Description
Hello! Welcome to my profile :)
My name is Aileen. I grew up on a farm in West Cork, Ireland before leaving for a few years to experience a more fast paced life and to explore more of the world, mainly in the East. Now I enjoy a slower, more tranquil pace of living and being immersed in Nature as often as possible, as I continue to explore different areas to root long-term.
I enjoy meeting new people from all walks of life and love to learn new things, especially in conversation or during in the moment interactions with others. I am eager to contribute the skills that I have gathered from my time in education, hospitality, tourism and customer service as well as my greatest teacher: Life.
I bring a calm, mature and responsible energy to a space and am happy to work alongside someone or independently once guidance has been given. I have a very proactive and solution-orientated approach to work and appreciate environments where clear boundaries and structure are in place.

More details about your skills
Pet & House Sitting: With over ten years of experience, I bring care, responsibility and a calm energy to every home and animal I look after.
Farm & Nature Work: My roots are rural — I’m happiest outdoors and enjoy everything from gardening to feeding animals to helping with land-based projects.
Building & Construction: I was involved in a school project in Nepal where I contributed to building a school. This hands-on experience gave me valuable skills in construction, teamwork and adapting to new environments, especially in challenging conditions.
Hospitality & Hosting: I spent ten years working in hospitality (B&B, hotel, campsite) & retail and have an eye for detail, warm communication and respect for shared spaces.
Organisation & De-cluttering: I love to create systems (including technology) and transforming the energy of a space.

What else ...
I value clear, kind communication and being in environments where mutual respect and authenticity are honoured.
I would like to connect via a video call beforehand to see if this is a good fit for both of us and to discuss roles/responsibilities that are expected.
I am available for a stay of at least 2 weeks and require a private space to rest & work.
