Description
- History of volunteer work: environmental/political activist; care giver to homeless; care giver at Mariners Church day care center; care giver to home bound elderly; care giver to family/friends and their dogs/cats.
- On 5/1/19, I did my first ever overseas volunteer work through site called Help Stay at the fabulous Bake My Day Cafe in Ireland on Ring of Kerry. After 4 wonderful weeks in Ireland, I went to Germany on 6/1/19 for another 4 wonderful weeks where I helped out a lovely couple through a Workaway project. My most recent Workaway project was in Estonia (June 2021). Happy to share details about that absolutely wonderful experience with those interested in knowing more (reviews from hosts can be found on my profile).
- Regarding my career. Majority of it was spent as Office Manager in NYC. The volunteer activist work that I did during evenings & weekends off was much more rewarding then my day job.
- For those looking to practice English. I recently received TEFL certificate to teach English (happy to send copy of certificate upon request). Looking forward to eventually developing those skills further with some real time experience.

More details about your skills
As a retired Office Manager, I still possess great organizational skills and project management skills. In 2023, dear friend (rescues animals) needed help while she recovered from surgery, so I happily took care of all her fur babies (see photos for few of them) until she was able to handle physical work again.

My time with Maria, Looney Tunes and Heidi was very special and it will be forever cherished. Maria's profession (Nurse) speaks volumes about her caring and nurturing soul. Her healing energies definitely rubbed off on Heidi and Looney Tunes (her fur babies are love bugs). It is hard to say what I looked forward to the most everyday...morning… read more

THERESA is a lovely and interesting,caring, sweet and a good human being and we really enjoyed having her here with us this year. She fitted in with everything and everybody and was always very helpful. She knows she will be welcome her back anytime at the Lunatics Cottage.

From the moment I met Joonatan, he felt like a long lost friend. There is so much genuine caring and thoughtful energy resonating from Joonatan, even the most spiritually unaware being, would feel it and be touched by it. It didn’t take long for me to share with the other 3 Workawayers (also lucky enough to find this project)…that Joonatan is/was… read more

I didn't know that an angel came with you - a very nice lady from NY - into the house. You are such a tender, lovely creature and you are full of life experience.
We have talked a lot about God and the world, our countries and the current problems. It was a very lively human exchange that you made it possible.
You have very thoroughly freed our… read more

What a wonderful time I had with Amanda and Peter! From the moment Peter picked me up at train station (with the warmest heartfelt energy) to the moment I arrived at the house and was once again greeted in the same way by Amanda (their energy fields are like a pair of angels wings that wrap around you and make you feel loved)…..I knew, I needed… read more
