Description

Hello! My name is Emmeline, and I'm from the U.S.A.! I am friendly, adventurous, independent, and always willing to learn and try new things! A bit about who I am: I live in New York City, so I don't get to experience as much nature and I would like. I love to be in the mountains, on the water, or among forests, and I love to work with animals. (I would really like to work with horses, so this is specifically what I am looking to do this summer!)

My previous WorkAway experience includes working on a farm in Sweden, where I improved my Swedish language skills and worked with gardening and animals, (sheep, cattle, ducks, rabbits, chickens...) and also a stay at a monastery in Norway, where I assisted with planting, housework, and painting (and helping to build the new church)!

I am great with other people and with animals. I am friendly, patient, social, and very caring. In addition to farm, livestock, and gardening experience, I also have several years of experience working with children!

I have worked as a writing and speech tutor at the University of Minnesota, where I graduated in 2021. So if you are looking for a bit of a language exchange, I am a great candidate to help teach English!

Languages:
English: fluent
Swedish: conversational
Chinese (Mandarin): basic
Japanese: just starting!

Childcare: I have worked with children of ages 3 to 14. I worked as a counselor at a day camp for three years, and worked also as a babysitter / nanny afterwards. I believe in play and creativity!

Literacy: I graduated from the University of Minnesota in 2021 with a degree in classical acting. While in college, I worked as an academic tutor at the Multi Cultural Center for Academic Excellence, helping students with reading, writing, and speech skills, particularly working with students whose first language was not English.


Gardening and Farming: I have basic skills working with animals like sheep, cattle, chickens. etc. (from previous WorkAway farm stays), as well as planting, tending, and harvesting crops.
