Description

Hello! My name is Amira, and I am 33 years old. I am very passionate about caring for animals and fighting for their rights. I am a licensed psychotherapist and run my own business in Minnesota. I'm very social, and I am excited about meeting people from all over the world. I speak fluent French and English! :)
I have done 8 workaways, 7 in animal shelters/sanctuaries/farms and one in a hostel. All of them have been amazing experiences and I cannot wait for what is coming next!
One day, I would love to open an animal sanctuary/shelter where people could also come for therapy. I believe animals are extremely healing. I am excited about traveling to new countries and gaining experience with all kinds of animals (and people)! Please feel free to message me with any questions:)

It was an absolute delight hosting Amira and her sister Yosra. Such lovely young women,
The girls really fitted into the 'family' They powered through their daily tasks and then were free to enjoy the rest of the day. They had a car so were able to travel to beaches and other attractions. They also made the most of all of our wonderful local … read more

My sister and I had a wonderful time staying at Katina's for 3 weeks. Paddington is beautiful, full of rolling hills and a very short walk to many coffee shops, restaurants, and stores. The work is light and it's a simple morning routine. You can get started as early as you want, and you are free the rest of the day to explore. Katina is very kind … read more

I had an amazing time here! The work is very easy- 3 hours in the morning and free by noon! They are very flexible with days off as well. Plenty of time to explore the surrounding area, which is stunning. If you love animals and beautiful scenery this is the place for you 💓

Thank you SO much Deb and Rob!! I had so much fun at your place the last few weeks. It all sounded too good to be true until I arrived there and saw that it really is as wonderful as you say.

Amira spent two weeks with us and it was a pleasure to have her here. She looked after our rescued animals with great care and she was very efficient and organised. It was wonderful for us that we could give her instructions and know that she would complete all tasks to a high standard. She really cared about the animals and it showed.

I am so thankful that the time I spent in New Zealand was spent here at the sanctuary! All of the animals are so cute and the work tasks are more than fair, they are fun to do! Robyn was an amazing host to me, always making sure I had what I need and she even drove me out to a beach that was a half hour away so that I could see more of the … read more

I had such an amazing time staying and working here during my time on Caye Caulker, I truly could not have asked for anything more out of my first Workaway experience. The work was easy and fun to do and it was so nice for me just being around all the animals and in such a beautiful, tropical setting. I had plenty of time to do all of the things I … read more
