Description

Hi I’m Izzy, 24 from England. I have used Workaway in the past for a 6 month trip to Canada where I worked on ranches, kennels, farms. Worked throughout calving season, lambing season, -40 degree weather to feed animals so not afraid of hard work ! Happiest when outside surrounded by nature, and looking for a change from ‘normal’ life in the UK. Animal lover so enjoy spending as much time as possible with all types, I’m hard working and always happy to learn. I have had pets all of my life and I've worked with horses for 10 years, all aspects of care. Being outdoors is my ideal workaway and through previous stays I've learnt many new skills surrounding home/farm maintenance and DIY.

Izzy was a wonderful workaway and person to have here, we enjoyed having her here! Izzy always was on time and did what was asked and often went above and beyond our expectation. We felt very safe with her with our animals and trusted her with all of the responsibilities on the ranch. She is a wonderful and positive person to have. Thank you Izzy … read more

Izzy was a great work away guest. Always willing and very able to do any task we suggested. She was fun and eager to participate in whatever we had planned. Izzy was very good with the horses and sheep. Izzy is a real animal lover We had lots of laughs moving lambs that did not know how to lead! She eats vegetarian diet and was very easy to feed. … read more
