Description
Hi Im Trees from Cornwall in the UK. I’m fit and strong for my 65 years, a rower, a swimmer, explorer, free spirit. I’m well travelled, good company, good sense of humour and a hard worker.
My son is at uni in Ohio so parental freedom and having just retired as a Registered Nurse/Counsellor, Airbnb Superhost and Painter& Decorator I am taking advantage of the freedom to explore new opportunities, cultures and work placements.
I’m very practical and happy to do light to medium manual work, grew up on a farm so not afraid to get my hands dirty and help with animals too. Open to pretty much any tasks that I can do. Happy to work independently or collaboratively. Previous recent projects include an eco build in the desert in New Mexico, llama care, child care, garden work, painting, declutterring. Very versatile and flexible.

Hogie has a well organised yard of vegetables, fruits and plants, and is super knowledgeable in all things gardening. I learnt a lot in the week I was there, helped with tree pruning, seed sowing, weeding, bed preparation, compost building, and even changed a trailer wheel.
Little mezzanine area in her studio was comfortable to sleep in.
Hogie is… read more

Trees, it was great having you with us! I appreciated your hard work and sunny attitude, and your willingness to work on your own when I was sooo busy. And, you were so nice and kind with my kids... that's essential and they really enjoyed you! Thank you for digging out those pesky elm roots!

Mostly I did yard work and dog walks with a few runs to pick up kids to help out.
I would have loved to have stayed longer but sadly couldn't… read more

Trees came here at the last minute and I only expected her to stay for a few days, but she was an amazing worker and more than that, a wonderful person. (She ended up staying a little more than a week, and it was *way* too short.)
She got along easily with my other (much younger) helpers, and was even willing to take them on an adventure in my… read more
