Description
I am an adventurous person that loves all kinds of animals. In Germany I've been working as a comercial painter and therefore know a lot about crafting. Moreover I volunteer in disaster relief work and have a first aid training. I would describe myself as a very responsible, calm and humble person.

I love animals and I'm currently working on a small farm, helping with feeding and general maintenance.

I'd like this abroad experience to be a great oportunity to meet new people and develope new skills.

I had the pleasure of hosting Franzi for a few weeks. I’ll admit that at first I was a little worried that, given how young she is, she might not be the right fit for the kind of help we needed. But I couldn’t have been more wrong.

Franzi is a beautiful soul who turned out to be incredibly capable in so many areas. From carpentry and painting to… read more fixing all sorts of small things around the house, she brought both skill and enthusiasm to every task. She’s a quick learner, a thoughtful problem-solver, and someone who isn’t afraid to get her hands dirty to get the job done. If something needed repairing, she either already knew how to fix it or took the initiative to figure it out.

What impressed me especially was how mature she is for her age. She carries herself with confidence, responsibility, and a great work ethic. And did you know she is a certified commercial painter? That expertise really showed. She seemed to know exactly what to do with any surface that needed touch-ups or a complete new paint job!

Franzi was also wonderful to have around the house. She happily helped with everyday tasks like vacuuming, putting away dishes, and keeping the kitchen and bathrooms clean when needed. She was always willing to pitch in and made life around the house easier for everyone.

Beyond all of that, Franzi was simply great company. She has a wonderful sense of humor and a deeply empathetic nature. She happened to be with us during a very difficult time when we had to say goodbye to one of our beloved dogs. Her presence was a real comfort—she was respectful in giving us space, yet quietly there when we needed support.

She also became very special to our other two dogs, caring for them, feeding them, and giving them lots of cuddles. Finn, our Morkie—who isn’t normally the most affectionate dog—became so attached to her that I started getting a little jealous, LOL!

Franzi was fantastic socially as well. I enjoy entertaining and love hosting potluck dinners and game nights with friends, and she fit in so naturally. Everyone who met her loved her. One of my good friends liked her so much that she was invited to their home where he taught her how to weld (a skill that Franzi has always wanted to learn). So, amongst many things, she also now knows how to weld metals! Quick learner, did I say?

Franzi brought such a positive presence to our home, and I truly miss having her here. I consider her a friend for life—almost like a daughter from another mother.

Thank you, Franzi, from the bottom of my heart. You are always welcome back to visit anytime.

Oh Mary, where do I begin...
I am beyond grateful that I had the pleasure to stay with you for a while!

From the moment I walked into your beautiful house, I felt so at home, welcomed by you, Minji and the Puppies of course.
Also an honorable mention the amazing friends you have!

I only stayed for six weeks, but the memory will last… read more
