Description
Hello :)

I am looking forward to meet you!

More details about your skills
I am happy to help anywhere I can but I’m particularly interested in working with animals and helping with ranching. However I would be happy helping you in the house or with kids as well. I am familiar with the ranch life such as fencing, baling or moving cattle. I grew up with animals and have a lot of experience with horses. At the age of five, I started horseback riding (western riding and natural horsemanship). Relatives of mine have a farm, so I have collected a number of farming skills. I can cook, have experience working in gastronomy and I used to be a swimming and horseback riding instructor for kids.

In my free time I do sports such as horseback riding, roller blading and swimming. I also do a lot of volunteer work, love learning new things and meeting people. I am always very curious and interested in talking to people I haven't met yet and hearing their opinion on the world.

In general, I'm an easygoing, open minded person, enjoy being outside and I don't mind living with basics. I am reliable, responsible, self-reliant, always interested in learning new things, and open to lending a hand everywhere I can. I am very willing to work physically, too, whether it be renovating, building things or harvesting

What else ...
In 2016, 2017 and 2020 I volunteered at ranches. I met wonderful people and made friends for a lifetime. My chores were among other duties moving cattle, helping at brandings, butchering chickens, cooking, cleaning, fencing, baling as well as taking care of the kids and the house.
I also worked as a human resource management assistant in Canada in 2017. I mainly conducted job interviews, did data entry and was in contact with clients.

What can I say....Karla was fantastic! From the moment we picked her up, we felt like we had known her forever. Karla was so easy to talk to. She did whatever was asked and she did it with a smile on her face. She was always happy. She cooked for us, pulled weeds, cleaned up the property, helped with the cows & fed the chickens.

I stayed with Cassilda, David and Rosie for two weeks. I had a great time at their place! They are very friendly and welcoming. Pretty much every evening I’ve cooked with Rosie and had lovely chats with her. Cassilda makes sure that you have a good time. I went with her to a competition, to the town or to the riding club, which was fun! You can… read more

Karla stayed with us for a couple of weeks and we wish it could have been longer! She is a pleasure to have around. Always helpful, with a cheerful smile and a "can do" attitude. I can highly recommend her to any workaway host.

I had an amazing time at Carla’s place and I never thought that two months would be over so fast.
On my first day, Carla picked me up from the bus station and we drove directly to a rodeo in Roblin. This rodeo would definitely not be my last one. We also went on a trip to Yorkton and Regina, where I was able to buy my cowboy boots, attend a… read more

Karla stayed at our Ranch for 2 months, how the time flew by as she was such a joy to have around. She took her responsibilities seriously and did all the jobs to the best of her ability and beyond. She was given a quick lesson on how to bale hay and baled about 400 large round bales. She could find work to do without being told and it was easy to… read more
