I particularly enjoy nature, working with plants and animals, and cooking ( especially making cakes!)Having brought up 3 children and a baby granddaughter I’m competent with childcare. I can drive, swim and am fully vaccinated (x 3)
I’m widely travelled,adventurous,adaptable and flexible- love trying out new things and making new friends.I’d need a single room but am happy to share facilities and generally get involved.

More details about your skills

I’ve taught English in several different places, made a productive garden out of a rubbish heap and managed a house, three children and a business as a single parent! So I’m pretty flexible, dynamic and organised as well as very practical in everyday matters such as feeding everyone, fixing malfunctioning washing machines and managing pets and children. I’ve also done a lot of petsitting, looking after chickens, rabbits,cats ( even a snake) and some very boisterous dogs- love going on daily walks with dogs!I have worked a lot with children and young people.

Age

70

What else ...

Interested in lots of things,especially local history ,politics,culture, wildlife and current affairs.After a winter in Canary Islands I am looking forward to working in sustainable projects/ learning more about growing plants & vegetables in different conditions. Generally I find about 2-3 weeks on a project is best for me.
