More details about your skills
My effort! I put all I have into what I do. Patience and care, and enthusiasm.
I have experience in childcare, waitressing, kitchen work. My first workaway was helping out at a brewery, and I did some sanding and garden work. I went to Tanzania with a great team of volunteers, which gave me lots of experiences, joy, and skills such as teaching, building, lots of team and also individual development, working with a community. I enjoy painting and drawing. I am looking to gain new skills. On other workaways I have split and stacked firewood, had guidance with carpentry in order to help with some roofing/construction, cooking, selling, helped with running events, b&b care, cleaning, painting.

Amy was amazing to have stay with us.
Not only did she help out at my place everyday, she popped over to my parents place and helped with building their house.
Amy was up for any challenge or task. No question about it. We would have Amy back any time!

Amy was a dream come true! It is so wonderful to have youthful people with mature helping abilities in our home!!!!!! I loved getting to know you, and I feel you are a good friend already, even after a relatively short 1.5 week stay! If only there was more time! We got some interesting things done together including digging 4 foot deep holes in… read more

I wish I had more time here! I really enjoyed joining this family and their community. I felt totally welcome, and there are always projects and things to do and learn! It’s a beautiful part of the country, and if you had more time I think you could go explore from here easily. Ume and Augie were accommodating and helpful for getting me to and… read more

Amy was a joy to have with us. She exceeded all of our expectations, not just in the working sense, but in every way. She was fun, upbeat, interested in all that we did, enjoyed the dogs (and vice versa) and befriended my 14 year old daughter in a genuine way.

The problem was that she had to leave so soon...Amy is welcome in our home anytime!

Wow! I had a short but sweet stay here! I felt totally comfortable and welcome with Dave and Anicca. Their home is very unique and beautiful, they are definitely interesting if you want to learn how to build and live alternatively, and both a great at explaining how it all works. We had loads of fun and lovely meals together. Thankyou so much for… read more

Wow! I had such a lovely time at Petra’s! She kindly showed us around the island, taking us to community events and cool beaches. I felt so comfortable with her family and home, and the work was fun and fair. We had really interesting conversation, often around our shared meals which were great! I really had a great time here!

Amy came to Lasqueti full of life and enthusiasm! She happily worked and was great in the kitchen! Amy is hard working and we had some great discussions as well as fun swimming or kayaking. We miss her already!

Amy certainly was an awesome Workaway. I know most Workawayers try their best but Amy constantly exceeded our expectations; we regularly had to say "OK, that's enough." Amy always did a better job than I would do and sometimes we had to hide tasks from her less we do a guilt trip thinking we were letting her do too much.
And more: she always… read more

I was made welcome right from the airport! I had a wonderful time here. I learnt and got to practice a lot of work in the garden which was relaxing and beautiful, also we made delicious food all the time!

Amy has such a sweet bubble personality, she was always ready and willing with everything we need help with around the Brewery/Taproom and our home. She has a very interesting background and listening to her experiences about her family on both side of the pacific was great to hear about.

I had such a wonderful time with this workaway. The family are amazing and welcoming, and they have a beautiful home. The work was varied and satisfying for me, and I enjoyed my downtime too. It was easy to visit further afield, but I was happy with a lake, great food and conversation, wonderful beer and the forest! Thankyou so much!
