Description
My name is Marjan and I am a young sixty-something who approaches life with enthusiasm and attention.
With experience in Social Work and Education, volunteer work and various hobbies (music, outdoor-activities, creativity, club life), I feel involved with the world around me. I do this with enthusiasm, pleasure and a positive attitude to life.
I am a generalist: with the right instruction and in collaboration with others, I can tackle any job!
I like learning new languages, so I'm currently working hard on Italian.
At home I have a stable relationship, 2 adult sons with partners, and wonderful friends who bring a lot of happiness to my life. A great starting point for an interesting trip!

In March 2025 I was at this beautiful location for 2,5 weeks, where I worked and lived with great pleasure. The jobs were varied and therefore attractive.

Hosting Marjan in our home has been a great experience! She is very proactive and has a very good energy.
She created a great bond, especially with Laura. Although working in the countryside is hard, Marjan managed, smiling all the time :)
Our house will always be open to you!
