Description
Hi I'm Saskia from Scotland :) hard-working, very friendly and full of energy. I love working with animals and being outdoors. I've spent most of my time between being a dinner lady at a boarding school and working in the hospitality industry Doing changeovers in hotels and working behind the bar which I have loved. But I have now decided to work part time at home so I can do more workaways, meet new people and have a great time doing it.

Wow donoussa is really an amazing island, living there for 3 weeks was a dream and I feel lucky I found this workaway. Kali is such a sweet loving dog I really enjoyed our walks waching the sunset and also sitting together at night waching the stars. Agni works really hard day and night but the times I did see her she was fun to socialise with and

Saskia is the bees knees! I felt I had always known her and she just fit right in. She was kind and thoughtful, spending lots of time with our dog who had just had surgery and needed lots of care and love which she gave. She was a very pleasant presence to have around and always helpful whether it was in the house or garden or with the animals - a

Saskia came here as a last minute volunteer after 2 volunteers cancelled on us the day before they were supposed to arrive. The minute I met Saskia I knew we were blessed to have her as a volunteer for the week we planned to be in the uk, taking adopted dogs and cats to their new homes. For the week prior to our trip Saskia shadowed me and another

Saskia is a true delight to host and makes the perfect houseguest, always good conversation and she is fresh with energy and full of enthusiasm for anything.
I felt very confident leaving her to all the tasks that were set, she was always up on time, reliable and looked after all my animals without me having to lift a finger! 5 star experience!
