Description

Hello!
I would like a workaway adventure in a warm(er) climate. My favorite jobs have been cooking and working with children in day cares or camps. I am interested in learning about food, trees and plants and horses. In general I am a curious person- I want to experience new places and to see how things operate. I like being in nature, by the ocean and and big city. I walk a lot.

I have worked with children as an au-pair (Vorarlberg, Austria, summer camps in Canada, in private homes and daycare in Canada too. Food/Cooking is a passion, and have also worked in restaurants and a bakery. I have housekeeping experience in a Munich hotel (3 star) and a hostel in Canada. It would be a pleasure to bring these skills to your home. I am a task oriented person- like to get the job done. It brings me a lot of joy being with children.

Places i have been to twice incl. Taisten/Monguelfo, Italy (workaway), Venice, Vancouver, the Okanagan Valley, London, Miami and New York. I worked for six years in the Northwest Territories, Canada. I sat and walked along the Mackenzie River all year! The northern lights are pretty amazing.The furthest north I have been (above the arctic circle) is Aklavik. (I spent three days there co-instructing a course on mental health. We drove on the ice road from Inuvik to get there= awesome.

I have some knowledge of German, and am learning Spanish with duolingo. I would like to practice and share languages. I have taught English in Canada to foreign students (2 years).

I look forward to new places and people. Elaine
