Description
I’m Emma :)

I’m from the foggiest place in the world- an island called Newfoundland, located off the east coast of Canada. As much as I love my home, I enjoy taking a break from the fog and exploring other parts of this beautiful planet.

I’ve decided to take a couple years off of my studies to travel and have new experiences. Much like others on this platform, I’m interested in other languages and cultures, and I want to learn as much as I possibly can.

I’m always up for adventures like camping, swimming, or trekking, and I love to be outdoors. I also really enjoy experimenting with photography and videography, and I love to play with different mediums of art as well. I’m super excited to learn new skills, and to meet new people.

More details about my language interests
English is my first language, and while I can communicate in French, I’d like to become fluent. I’m happy to help others practice their English, and in exchange I’d love to learn something new as well. I’m currently trying to learn Spanish, and would love the opportunity to learn.

More details about your skills
I’m very adaptable and am eager to learn new skills!

Language:
I’m bilingual in English and French, and I have a basic understanding of some Spanish. I obtained my DELF B1 diploma in 2022, and I can proficiently communicate in French. I would love to help hosts practice their English as well, and I would never give up the opportunity to learn another language too.

Child Care:
In addition to working as a summer camp counsellor in the past, I currently Nanny part time for two little boys (2 1/2 and 5 years old). I love kids, and have done a considerable amount of volunteer work with under 12 as well. Additionally, you can rest assured knowing I have my First AID and CPR training as well.

Eco Projects/Gardening:
I also have some experience when it comes to gardening and farming. I’ve been a part of different eco projects in past, having spent time on an organic permaculture farm, and worked on a hydroponics vegetable garden. I’ve also gained some knowledge from spending time with my Mom in the garden over the years.

Art/Creative Projects:
I’ve always been a very creative individual, and I love playing with different forms of art. I particularly take an interest in video/film creation, as well as photography. I also enjoy painting and making prints, however I would mostly consider this as a creative pass time. I would be honored to be a part of any creative vision, and would love to lend my skills as an asset.

Animal Care:
I have some experience pet sitting for friends, and I have a lab mix of my own. I’m very comfortable around animals, and I’m capable of handling large dogs. I’m a big animal lover overall, and would love to take advantage of an opportunity working with domestic or non-domestic animals :)

Light Housekeeping:
I also of course have the general skills when it comes to household tasks like cleaning, washing, and cooking. I like to keep a tidy space, and don’t mind putting in work when it’s expected of me. Overall, I would be happy to help with any tasks around the house, and I’m always willing to lend a hand where I can!

Emma is a lovely young woman who fitted into family life with ease. She was joined by some volunteers returning from last year and soon made friends with them. Hopefully, she will come back with them again next year. Emma attacked every task with enthusiasm but excelled at organising the potting and tool sheds where for the first time in years, I… read more

What was supposed to be 3.5 weeks with Paul and Julia turned into 5, and I’m so grateful for my time spent in their company in the beautiful Dordogne. I truly felt like a part of a family in their home, and am so grateful for all of the people I met in my time there.

Paul and Julia are some of the most genuine and giving people I’ve come to… read more

If you're on the… read more

Emma was an excellent volunteer and a really lovely person to have around our home. The main job we set her was to help another volunteer build some steps for a raised plunge pool using old wooden pallets. Together they figured it all out, cut up various pallets, sanded them, constructed them into a great staircase and also made a patio area… read more

I spent two weeks with Fergus, Petra and Annie, and I am so grateful to have been hosted by them for my first Workaway experience! From the first day I felt very welcomed into their home, and found myself sad to leave by the end of my stay.

Fergus was very reasonable with the expected work, and very flexible with the hours and scheduling. That… read more
