Description
Dear Host Families,
My name is Anke, I’m from Germany, I'm 31 years, I arrived in Canada in July 2025 on a Working Holiday Visa, excited to explore new places, meet kind people, and gain valuable experiences along the way.
I’m a tidy, respectful, and reliable person who enjoys spending time outdoors and has a deep love for animals. I speak both German and English and am happy to help with a wide range of tasks, including office work, gardening, housework, and pet care.
In Germany, I worked for nine years part-time with an event and catering company, gaining hands-on experience in organization, service, and teamwork. Alongside that, I worked full-time as a Management Assistant, developing strong skills in administration, coordination, and customer service.
For 15 years, I cared for my beloved cat, and after he passed, I volunteered at an animal shelter—experiences that strengthened my connection to animals and my dedication to their well-being.
I hold a driver’s license but don’t have a car, so I’d appreciate a location accessible by public transport or with the possibility of pickup from a nearby stop. I don’t smoke and rarely drink, so a non-smoking household would suit me best.
Due to a file format issue, I couldn’t upload more photos here, but I’m happy to send additional pictures privately if you’d like.
I’m looking forward to the opportunity to help, share skills, and create a meaningful exchange.
Warm regards,
Anke

I looked after Monkee and her friend’s dog for a week. I had a wonderful time there.
We had a great time together and went on a few outings.
Liam and Abraham are two typical 7-year-old boys.
I would come back anytime!
