Description

Greetings hosts!

My name is Melissa. I have been a workaway volunteer in Ireland and Nepal over the past five months and am now looking to get involved locally. I am seeking work/ accommodation in Western North Carolina (preferably within an hour of Asheville) and would love to work in sustainable farming, permaculture, gardening/ landscaping or home improvements. I am also open to childcare as I know many working parents need help right now since schools are closed due to COVID-19 and a stay home order is in place.

A little about me- I am a yoga instructor (200 & 500 hr RYT), and I landscape/ garden part time in the summers. I have experience in painting (interior/ exterior) and some home renovations. I have worked on and off in the service industry bartending/ serving for several years. I have volunteered through WWOOF, cleaned AirBnb's, and watched many a child/ dog/ home. My most recent jobs through workaway have been hosting/ managing an AirBnb property in Co. Clare, Ireland and teaching english as a second language at Medaka Family School in Saping Village, Nepal. My work experience and travel history show that I can easily adapt in new environments. I’m a hard worker, a quick learner and have my own transportation. My guarantee to you is that I will always show up ready to work and learn. I will be mindful of my words and actions and of course be respectful of you and your space!

Please contact me via the workaway website if you could use my help and are interested in hosting me. I look forward to meeting you!
