Description

Hey! I'm Tessa, 24 years old from Hanover in Germany. I really love to travel and I'm looking forward to spend some time in Ireland now that I have finished my apprenticeship in occupational therapy. Currently I am feeling the urge for the faraway and wish to travel while also helping out wherever I can :). I really want to get to know all the different cultures and languages, make great experiences, meet new people and improve my English. Life in the city is quite busy so I`d love to travel to some more quiet and peaceful places with a lot of nature and probably wildlife around.

In 2016 I lived in Ireland for half a year and worked as an Au Pair where I cared for three children aged two, five and seven. After that I volunteered at a buddhist retreat centre where I was helping out in the kitchen and tidied up the guestrooms for upcoming retreats. Afterwards I helped at a small farm where I cared for the animals, babysat and did some general work in and around the house (mucking out, sanding down wood, painting etc.). Previously I worked at a childrens home and a care facility for young mothers and their babys which I enjoyed a lot!
In 2019 I had some great experiences with workaway where I helped families in Norwaay and Ireland around the house, garden and farm and with childcare.

Now I hope to find a place for a short stay during a little break this year to take some time off and getting to know a new country.

I really enjoy spending time with kids and would love to lend a helping hand in childcare, caring for animals, household tasks or some easy jobs around the house like painting, helping in the garden and everything else that has to be done on a farm. Also I`m very interested and passionate about permaculture, self sufficency and sustainable living and would love to learn a lot more about these topics!
I love being creative and to DIY, upcycle, recycle and repair things as well as building and creating small projects.
Cleaning after myself and helping with meals, dishes etc is a matter of course for me.
