More details about your skills

Emily: I have experience with DIY and some home renovation, as well as gardening and allotment-keeping. However, my main expertise comes from working with people and in particular children- I have informally taught, tutored, babysat and volunteered with organised children's groups and feel really confident providing a safe and happy experience. I have a degree in English literature and language and am a strong communicator. I have worked at heights as an outdoor instructor for a few years, and am also experienced with domestic work, particularly cooking and cleaning. I am a keen hiker and wild swimmer as well. I am a fast learner and am always up for trying something new and cultivating a new skill!
Liam: I have had a lot of experience working on a sheep and cattle farm, including maintenance jobs such as fencing and dry stone walling. I also have formally taught music lessons privately 1-1 and also in group ensemble classes from ages 6-17. My previous work experience has seen me cooking in kitchens, and working out front serving customers. I have also done a previous workaway in Prague, helping out in a hostel being a guide/cook and point of call for guests.
