I love the outdoors and being around animals, particularly horses, dogs and cats
Hi! I'm Rachael - I'm a Web Designer, living in Berlin, Germany with my boyfriend who runs a carpentry business. I love the outdoors, and am looking to help out on a property by the sea.
---ABOUT ME & WHAT I CAN OFFER---
I'm very good with computers, and I can build you a website for your business. I'm a marketing generalist, I'm very good in writing, blogging and social media as well as SEO. I speak fluent english and can serve behind a bar or reception area as I have many times in the past. I'm generally a sociable person and have travelled, met lots of people and done many kinds of work. I am physically active: yoga (over 20 years experience), cycling, jogging, weights or a swim. I also used to be a personal trainer.
I quit my last full-time job in September 2020, and am in the process of starting a new freelance business at https://waveweb.design, building websites for small businesses, startups, artists, musicians or similar. I am good with animals and mowing, gardening, painting, craft things etc and am interested in sustainable building & living.
I can cook most things, and prefer healthy food with a high balance of fruit, salad and veg (I don't eat pork, beef or other red meats at all but a bit of chicken/fish/cheese is ok). I’m interested in learning to garden and grow vegetables as well as natural building or eco homes. I learn quickly and am organised, clean and tidy. I prefer not to do large amounts of shopping or cleaning or taking care of children, although I am obviously OK to do my fair share like you would in a share house - I just don’t want to be a housekeeper or carer most of the time. I like to have defined work hours and tasks rather than being on call all the time.
---WHAT I LOOK FOR IN A WORKSTAY---
Up to 5 hours work per day, up to 5 days per week in return for a place to sleep, healthy food & use of washing machine, access to a bathroom (shower and toilet)
Wifi ideally, because I can do a few hours of online freelance work in my own time if it's available
---WITH REGARD TO COVID19---
I'm very low risk because I don't go out to work, I work from home on my laptop freelancing. I also very rarely use public transport, preferring to cycle everywhere within 2.5 hours cycle.
---DATES---
From Jan 2021 for perhaps 8 weeks, but I can split that up between different locations

Helping with Computers/ Internet
I'm mature and have done many jobs from reception, admin, bar work, food prep, cafe, graphic design and then executive advertising for many years. Generally there's not much I can't do, and I have plenty of common sense and the ability to make decisions without running to a boss all the time. I take the initiative.
