  • Description

    I enjoy being useful and finishing a job as well as I can. I enjoy working outside as well as inside. I can work as a team or on. my own, provided instructions are clear. I have experience working on my uncle's sheep farm in New Zealand when I was younger and working on a more intensive farm when I was older, (working with a team of people). I was a remedial reading teacher and worked at a Boys College when I was younger and since then I have married twice (my first husband died of melanoma at the age of 38) and divorced my second husband after 24 years together with 8 children between us (3 from each earlier mariage, and 3 from our second marriage; one died stillborn). I have been a workaway help before teaching English after school to 8-16 year old children and helping with the cooking and cleaning and at another place worked on an organic farm.
