I am currently

At home

Activities i am interested in:

I love to create, to make practical stuff and to do artistic projects. I've done house- and pet sitting. Solo and in communities (also non-workaway). Using my DIY creative mind, heart & hands.
Description

I'm a digital nomad, author, mother, with the skills for handcraft. I'm grateful to have the freedom of working online and love to spend time being outdoors.

I can take care of your home, pets and garden if you want. Animals come to me easily. It has always been like that, so most of the time I just connect with them. Same with young children.

I have been travelling solo, with the kids, family and friends and working/living in communities. And I've done a lot of house sitting and taken care of animals, via workaway, nomador, other organisations or I was recommended by people, who had experienced me.

I'm young at heart, easy going and in a good condition. I don't care for luxury and love the simple life close to nature.

More details about your skills

I've been fixing houses, furniture, stuff, painting walls and woodwork. Doing some gardening and mosaic flooring. I'm creative and a fast learner. Love to take care of animals.

I've been a trainer for many years and an open minded communicator. An entrepreneur since 20 years and I can do my work everywhere. I've been organising retreats. Love to be in groups, but also appreciate time on my own and in silence a lot.

What else ...

You can't see any new reviews since the beginning of 2025, although I was work-away-ing, home- and pet sitting and helping out a lot, but not via the workaway system. So their reviews can't be seen here. People find me more and more often, because I've been referred to them by friends, family or neighbours. Or they ask me to come back and help them. So it gets easier and better every time, but they don't write on this website.

Jeannette arrived at our retreatcenter and blended in immediately! As if she had been here before... A wise woman with tons of life experience and a hard worker, she was a great asset and a lovely companion!
What we appreciated in her was her open and direct communication and her way of looking at life. She made friends with the other volunteers … read more

Jeannette is an easy going woman. She's been painting a particular piece of furniture and she's done that very well. She's independant and calm and we had some good conversations at my kitchentable. She inspired me to cook, because she appreciated every thing I made for her very much. She didn't stay that long, but we had a good week together.

Iris is a wise woman, fun to be with and an amazing (no waste) cook. I had a lovely time with her and many reasons to go back to her beautiful home. Winter can be rough in Zeeland, but it's beautiful. The area is full of fruit trees and more good local food. Iris knows where to find it and how to use it. Delicious! The house has a delicate … read more

Jeanette took care of our house and animals whilst we were away. We only met briefly, before we left, and when we came back, which was a pity because I'm sure we would have enjoyed spending more time together.
I think we have a similar attitude to life.
Jeanette is calm and reliable, and we were lucky to have had her here, and would recommend her … read more

Stephen found my profile and asked me to take care of their home and animals while they went for holidays around Christmas and New Year. My daughter was welcome to stay with me in the first week and we had a lovely time. I walked a lot in the peaceful area, mostly with Lily, the very funny friendly dog. The food was good and I loved the darkness … read more

Almost 7 weeks I lived with amazing Sara and her lovely family. We connected so well, had great conversations and fun. We didn't need to talk about what to do when, we just knew and that made it easy. I felt at home and had also enough quiet time whilst living in a busy family. It was a joy to help them move to the new farm, cook some meals, take … read more

Jeanette stayed at our little farm and of course, with us for 1,5 month, she moved with us to Our New farm and took care of the animals till they moved.
We had deep conversations, sometimes between the wild children. Sometimes we didn't need to talk to know, what each other needs or wants to have.
I'm so thankful to know this lovely and beautiful … read more

It was very nice time with Jeannette.
She was taking good care of all the animals and the house and was sensitive to our way of living. She is kind and sensitive person, but also quite grounded. We spent long hours in quiet and then had endless conversations about life and all. It was a good connection and I recommend her for your project.

It feels like I´ve stayed at this beautiful place for much longer than just a few weeks. The nature is amazing and it is so quiet and peaceful. Very few people around and that was exactly what I liked a lot. Boris and Neja are wonderful people. We could be together in silence (which is lovely), we had spontaneous real conversations and we had fun. … read more
