More details about your skills

Dane- I can do basic electrical, plumbing, carpentry. and painting. I also have lots of landscaping experience like laying sod, grading and levelling dirt, chainsaw use, tree planting and maintenance from my time as an arborist's helper and for the parks department in my city. I've helped in my grandma's garden for years as well. I've done a little bit of dog training through 4h as a kid. I'm pretty keen and have been told I pick up on things fairly quickly. I am very solution-oriented and am great at solving problems, especially when given the flexibility to be creative. I've been labouring every summer back home for the last 8 years and am no stranger to hard work and getting things done.
Kenzie- I am extremely organized and neat. I have experience in house/pet sitting and am always complimented on the state I leave the house in and how happy the pets are with me. I love cooking and am excellent at both traditional and vegetarian cooking. I have experience with kids as I used to coach gymnastics to kids ages 18 months to 12 years old. I have excellent customer service skills, I worked in an office setting for 3+ years and worked in reception at a hostel in Malaysia. I'm able to paint walls and have tons of house plants that I care for religiously when I'm not travelling. I'd love the opportunity to work in a garden and see how that skill translates. I am a very detail-oriented person and tend to hyper-focus on any task I set my mind to.

We are both "jack of all trades" kind of people, we love any opportunity to learn something new.

25 & 25

What else ...

Dane- I'm really into lots of things. I skateboard, surf, and snowboard, but not very well. I love gaming, hiking, and the feeling of completing a difficult task. I love board games like Monopoly and Settlers of Catan.... if it's strategy-based, I'm in (except chess, which scares me lol). I like to just be able to joke around and have fun with the little things in life. I love learning and have the most fun trying new things!

Kenzie- I am very passionate about nutrition and minerals, and the connection to women's hormones and chronic illness especially. I love theory, politics, and history, and how it all intersects. I also love astrology, music, film, and pop culture.
