Description
Hi I'm Karen, I travelled and worked away some years ago (mainly harvesting fruit) and have decided that now is the time to take a break from my regular job and do a little more.
I work with children with additional needs in a school setting and have done so for nearly 20 years. Before this I raised my own children and worked in nurseries with children younger than 4. I love my job, it always feels a privilege to spend time in the company of children. I love their joyful outlook on life and learning alongside them the wonder of the world. Having fun, being happy and sharing experiences is what I enjoy most.
I love the outdoors and nature and enjoy gardening and working outside. I believe in living as sustainably as we can and that it is our responsibility to do so. I am interested in learning new skills and broadening my knowledge of the skills I have, I would welcome opportunities to help out with an eco project of some sort, for example.
I enjoy doing yoga most days as well as cycling, walking, swimming and reading.
I'm looking forward to getting out in the world once more and meeting interesting and lovely people.
Thank you for reading 😊

They are such a gentle, generous and lovely family, I loved my time there and was sad to leave, I hope one day I'll go back as it feels like I was lucky enough to make friends 😍
