Description
Hi there,
My names Janay - I'm a vet nurse and dog behavioural trainer and I have been working in this field for two decades.
Over the years I have travelled abroad and volunteered my time - working as a vet nurse or with animals on many projects. I had travelled and volunteered and spent time in South East Asia, Fiji, the Cook Islands, the Caribbean, the Balkans, Sri Lanka.
I also had the pleasure of exploring Europe by my van for 2years in 2023-2025.
I also like to volunteer with any garden work or helping with farming. I like a task or helping with teaching basic english or really anything to make a difference for myself and others. I enjoy to learn new skills and grow as a person.
I want to be able to live and enjoy some beautiful places with beautiful people.
I love nature and animals.
I am very easy going, happy to help with anything and everything, not afraid to get dirty.
I love a good laugh, enjoy meeting and getting to know new people but also happy to spend time by myself.

I was happy to host Janay for two weeks. She helped in many ways — work and taking care of my 10-year-old niece that spent her vacation time at my place. My niece also loved to spend time with her — playing games, shopping, cooking, walking Janay's dog Mik… Work was also done with care and I loved how effective she was, followed the instructions… read more

Her skills, knowledge and extensive experience as a vet nurse were invaluable to us, as was her absolute dedication and commitment to providing the best possible care to the animals, no matter how challenging the circumstances.

Wow well where do I start! Mayreau is such a small but complex amazing little island, I thought I would be bored here after a month as it’s such a tiny space in the world.
I stayed 2.5months being there over Xmas and NYE.
But the locals, the animals and the tasks kept me busy.
Fitness is a must but I felt so much better and stronger for my daily… read more

Janay came to my land with her own campervan for a couple of days. She was a great help with some maintenance tasks in my garden and she cooked us a nice vegan meal. She's good company and interesting to talk to. See you soon!

Toby was great, just a genuine guy. Easy to talk to and communicate with, I had fun. His little set up is basic but in a great spot. Obviously the dogs are absolutely great! I enjoyed myself and I will hopefully see him again one day! Thanks again. :)
