Description

Hello!

This was originally a single account and will be still used as a single account until the 12th of April. As I, Eevastiina, will be travelling alone until that date. My daughter, Adiza, will join me in April.


I am a female from Finland. My name is Eevastiina, but you can call me Eva as it is easier 😊 Even though this account is quite new, I am not that new in Workaway; I had a couple account here before and I have been using another, similar type of page (HelpExchange) before. So, I have experience in this volunteer stuff since 2004.

Now I am working in a bakery (not as a baker though) and last year I was working in a laundry and a board game company. But when I travel I am happy to do something completely different.

I have a teenage daughter with whom I have traveled also quite a lot, but she cannot make long trips any more during the school year. So, in the last few years I have been mainly traveling alone. This time she will join me later when her exams are over. But I will let you know, if we are two volunteers instead of just me 😊

Even though I am quite shy sometimes, I still like to meet people, but if I am not super social or talkative all the time, please, try to understand me and don't think I am rude! Big and loud groups are especially challenging for me, but in case I end up to such a place, I will try to manage as well as possible. Thank you for your understanding! 😊

More details about your skills

I don't have any special talent. I am only passionately curious. -Albert Einstein

Like mister Einstein, I don't have any special talents, just curiosity and some experience ☺ I have been doing some gardening, weeding and other simple things. As I have my own child, I have some experience of childcare. Lately I have also been taking care of my little nieces and my goddaughter and working as a leader in kids' afternoon club at schools (with 6-9 years old kids).I enjoy the company of (little) children a lot 🥰

I would also love to take care of animals. I am willing to learn new things and I am hardworking and trustworthy worker, if you give me a chance, good tools and instructions 😊 I am physically in good condition, so I am not afraid of physical jobs too, but as a small female I am not very strong though.. Even though I don't have any passion for cleaning, I can also help you with it. I am not good at cooking, but I am still willing to assist you in the kitchen and if you have a good recipe, I might succeed to make something eatable 😊

  Special dietary requirements
  I am a pescatarian, so I don't eat meat, but I eat pretty much everything else, even fish. And sometimes I can eat a little bit meat too, if it is all that is available. I am not very demanding person, but I prefer healthy food and try to avoid sugar, whe
