Description
Hi! I'm a friendly and easy-going ex-PE teacher from England who loves travelling and living an active outdoor lifestyle. I am now a ski instructor who enjoys living and travelling in my self-built campervan throughout the summers. This has given me lots of practical experience and a real appreciation for simple living and hands on projects.
I'm very happy getting stuck into any practical tasks and have lots of experience in childcare, I also enjoy cooking so would be happy to help out in the kitchen whenever necessary. I'm reliable, hardworking, proactive and not afraid to get my hands dirty.
In my free time I love skiing, snowboarding, surfing, hiking, rock climbing and dancing. I am very sociable and enjoy meeting new people, sharing stories and being part of a positive team environment.
I'm excited to experience new places, learn new skills and contribute wherever I can :).

What else ...
I am happy to take part in short or longer term projects and as I live in my campervan I am flexible with locations. I am looking for something I can balance alongside some online marketing work so a reasonable internet connection would be required! I have a full Canadian and UK driving licence and I am comfortable driving all sizes of vehicles. I am reliable tidy and respectful in shared environments. I have lived in a range of living situations from 1 - 80 housemates during my time in Canada and I find it easy to adapt to each environment.
