Description
Hi there,

- I am currently working in a mainstream school in the city of Southampton and have done for the past 3 years now. The school is for children aged between 7 - 11
- I work with a child on a 1 -1 basis who is SEN (Special Education needs).
- I have been on many school trips with children including residential trips to outdoor places, where we have learnt about nature and teamwork. I have normally had to take responsibility for a group of children on these trips
- I run an after school club called 'Creative Club' which is an art based club
- I really want to learn about other styles of education and what else is out there for educating children. I believe that children's education should be a journey of love and interest rather than 'box-ticking' and should be motivational for them
- I am quite a calm individual, very friendly and like to be useful
- Everyday I ride my bike to work and back and like to keep healthy
-I have been growing vegetables since I was 9 or 10 years old, I've grown carrots, parsnips, swede, peas, spinach, sweetcorn, strawberries...
-I previously volunteered with a elderly care charity for about a year and a half and I was a 'befriender' where I visited a lonely elderly gentleman once a week to provide companionship
-I have done 3 workaways before, 2 in Belgium and 1 in France.

I hope all of this gives you a positive impression of me as I feel I am a positive person and want to be engaged with projects and people. I care for people and the world as a whole.

Emma, you was with us for almost three weeks to help us with the harvest, the household and the animals. We had a very good time together. You are a helpful, sensitive, dedicated, extremely friendly and tactful young lady. You are of smal stature, but you can grab right. We think that´s because you stay fit with running, gym exercises and other… read more

I have done 6 workaways and this is the one that will stay with me the most. Doris, Frederike and Buchart are very wonderful people and have a very, very special home, farm and family. It was a truly lovely stay and I would love to return one day to see the home complete (or more complete!) You should have no worries about staying with this… read more

Sue is the most amazing lady and I was treated extremely well. Sue has a lovely home and I was made to feel very welcome and I would recommend Sue and her home. The work I did was manageable and the kind of work that most people should be able to do I believe. I was very lucky as Sue took me out to do a bit of sightseeing which is very very… read more

Emma is lovely! She works very hard and is very keen to be as helpful as possible and to learn new skills. For, example, she freely admits that she isn't that fond of big dogs but she quickly made friends with my big mountain dog and took both dogs for a walk every day!
She is cheerful and very good company.
Thank you for your stay, Emma! Good… read more

All though Emma is not so tall she was able to do all the work we asked. She has a very nice personality and was always happy to talk about any subject. Too bad she only could stay for 1 week. Good luck with your biking thing.
Thank you for being you.

Marvelous Marleen!
This was the best start I could ever ask for on my first work away experience. A most wonderful home with loving people and animals. I don't think I will never forget Nina the goat, or the very very fluffy cat (sorry cat, didn't know your name!) or Doc and Lucy. Marleen is a lady who has a genuine love for meeting new people and… read more

A wonderful woman and a genial man! A most superb couple who made me feel very welcome and comfortable. The work I did was enjoyable and pleasing. I was creating little model sheep for a Christmas stall that would raise money for a charity and so I felt very proud to be doing this work. I'm happy that I came across Veerle and Cornelius as they are… read more
