Description

I am a recently retired woman of 66 years. Throughout my life I have worked with children with various disabilities and learning difficulties. Besides this, I have devoted myself to my great interest consisting of threads in all their forms. Primarily weaving and knitting, but I embroider and do most things that can be done with threads. I have three grown children and three grandchildren. I am practical and enjoy figuring out solutions to various problems.

More details about your skills

I have taught students all my life. From high to low level of development. Worked with learning in various forms. I have worked in Tanzania for six months and built a school for intellectually disabled children there. I have volunteered with cheetahs in South Africa and care a lot about the endangered species. Now that I'm retired, I mostly do weaving, knitting, embroidery, ribbons and a few other things. When we have summer in Sweden, I grow a lot of vegetables. Likes to bake bread but is worse at cooking. I am enterprising, fast and efficient, often come up with new solutions quickly. Creative and likes when something happens. I don't have much physical strength these days, but I'm strong. Practicing yoga, a little strength training, swimming and cycling a lot and trying to maintain that flexibility. I enjoy being with my family, my grandchildren and my cat. I read a lot.
