Description

Hi! My name is Gwyneth and I am looking to work on my people and labor skills from May 20th to July 29th, 2025 (these dates are flexible!).

In the winter I study Chemistry at Virginia Commonwealth University. This summer, my goal is to learn skills - carpentry, working on cars, gardening, HARD labor - and continue to hone my people skills (just an excuse to meet new people).

I’m open to all kinds of opportunities — from checking guests in at a hostel, to helping with repairs, to pet sitting, and everything in between. If it helps me learn, move, or connect with people, I’m in.

I’m a quick learner with a bubbly personality, and I bring a strong work ethic and positive attitude to everything I do. I learn best through constructive criticism – I appreciate knowing what not to do just as much as what to do!

My skills/experiences include:
Housework, basic repairs, yoga/fitness, sailing, customer service, animal care, minimal car knowledge, and minimal gardening/farming.
