  • Description

    Hi my name is Hailey (23 years old)! Ever since graduating College I have been enjoying exploring the world, the US, and the workforce. In the past two years I have worked as a gardener, farm hand, teachers assistant, outdoor instructor, nanny, waitress, etc. I have taken a train across the US twice now and traveled to Spain, Portugal, England, Alaska, and more. I am so grateful for all the communities I have been welcomed into that have made me more confident in myself and my travels.

    Quick Facts:
    - Grew up outside Chicago with 3 older siblings.
    - BA in Environmental Science from University of Denver. Minors in Entrepreneurship/Spanish.
    - Went out of the country for the first time in 2022 to Spain for 3 months through workaway.
    - Spent the past summer working as an outdoor instructor in Alaska
    - Spent the 5 summers before that as a Summer Camp Counselor in Wisconsin.
    - Have a passion for sustainability
    - Spent the month of October hiking 500+ miles on the Ice Age Trail in Wisconsin.

    I strive to improve my Spanish skills - would love to be fluent one day.

    Good with children:
    I have a ton of experience working with kids and love spending time with them as they remind me to appreciate the simple things in life. I have been a sleep away counselor for the past 5 summers where I dedicate 8 weeks to creating magic in young people's lives(ages 7-16) through creative and engaging activities, fostering relationships that will last a lifetime, and nurturing a comfortable, welcoming space for all. I have also babysat since I was 13 for all ages and often help out with my 7 year old niece, Lily, who lives with my family half the year!

    The environment/sustainability:
    I am an environmental science major so am very motivated by sustainability. I love doing any activity outside and wish to enter a job field where I can make the world a healthier and happier place. I worked as the wilderness director last summer at camp where I taught kids about camping, fires, and other nature skills. I am super interested in organic farming and reconnecting with where my food comes from. I worked for the Colorado Alliance for Environmental Education where I learned more about the natural systems we all depend on, and now understand what we must do to interact responsibly with our environment and safeguard natural resources for future generations.

    Social:
    I am very outgoing and kind- I love meeting new people! I am hoping to make new friends in spain who I can explore the cities and countryside with.

    Flexible
    Overall I am very hardworking, fun, and willing to do any tasks you need help with :)
