Hello!
My name is Lindsay and I am a 37-year-old female from the Philadelphia area in Pennsylvania.
I am very friendly, creative, and talkative... as well as pretty laid back and go with the flow.
I am interested in meeting like-minded people and LEARNING LEARNING LEARNING as much as I can from them!
I have 7 years of experience running for-profit businesses (5 years as a Director of a daycare center and 2 years as a Director of a Brain Training center).
I currently work as a freelance writer and write articles about health, wellness, and anything self-improvement related.
I have helped many people organize their homes, decorate, and simply make their life more efficient. I've also helped friends renovate their homes (drywall, painting) -- however, I am not formally trained!
I ideally would like to stay with someone for at least a few weeks and really get to know them and be able to provide my knowledge in exchange for theirs. I am very open-minded to a variety of experiences so please do not hesitate to contact me!
Cheers!
