  • Description

    Hi!

    I'm Edgar :)

    Having recently completed my second year at university, and with the prospect of the corporate world looming over me, I've decided to take a leap and just live life.

    I'm a solo traveler who loves connecting with others, and I take particular pride in my sense of humour and practicality. I could be literally anywhere, in any circumstance, and still aim to make everyone smile - be prepared for dry British wit at your own risk...

    I enjoy talking about everything from human psychology to outer space - I am always calm and logical, will never let emotions dictate my actions, and am extremely accommodating to the people around me

    What I can offer you:

    House Maintenance, Cleaning, Tidying
    Cooking
    DIY and Manual Labour
    Gardening and Landscaping
    Painting and Decorating
    Animal Care, especially dogs
    Help with children in any capacity (I don't mind dressing up as a princess and singing)
    Academic tutoring
    A general shoulder to lean on - mental health is absolutely paramount

    I'm happy to talk more via video call, don't hesitate to ask

    I look forward to hopefully meeting you!

    Soft skills:

    • Work ethic
    As the son of a single mother, I understand the value of money, connection, and determination.

    • Self reflection
    Growing up as the only male in my entire extended family i quickly became aware of my own privileges, and the importance of empathy when communicating with others. I hate making anyone feel uncomfortable, and would rather bear the weight of responsibility to make others happy.

    • Communication
    I find the easiest way to bond with others is through my humour, having laughed my way through some of the trickier times in my life :)

  • Age

    21

  • What else ...

    I can play any sport, having represented both club and town in Football, Rugby, Cricket, Squash, and Swimming. ⚽

    My signature dish is making pizza entirely from scratch 🍕

    Chatting about anything and everything over a pint is one of my favourite pass times 🍺

    I can paint and draw up to a photorealistic level 🎨

    I absolutely love animals, especially dogs 🐕

    I love films, my favourites being Interstellar, Everything Everywhere All At Once, and Beautiful Boy
    Series too, with my favourites being Mr.Robot, Normal People, and Fleabag. 🎞️

    I'm tech savvy, having built my own PC, and have played numerous video games to a very high level. If kids are concerned: Minecraft, Fortnite, Rocket League, any FPS game 🎮

    I love playing Uno and Connect Four, have cried many a time playing Monopoly, and still don't understand Backgammon. 🎲

    Currently I'm fascinated with mindfulness and being present in the moment
