Description
My name is Sabine, I am 70 years old, married , have 2 grown up children I recently became a grandmother. Being originally from Germany, I moved to the Italian part of Switzerland where for many years I worked in the social field. I did my first work-away in April 2019.Up to now I enjoyed 7 different Workaway, all of them in different countries which gave me a great insight into very different cultures. I enjoyed these experiences a lot and hope to add some more to my life experience. Work away does offer a great opportunity to travel, meet people, share experiences, get to know a different culture on a daily -life base and exercise foreign languages and I hope new opportunities are going to show up. I appreciate being in company but do also enjoy spending a day on my own. My hobbies are walking in nature, swimming, reading, visiting places of cultural interest, travelling and languages. I am open for stays from 1 week until maximum 1 month , also last minute.

Sabine was a wonderful addition to our family for a month that went by too fast. She was very helpful and proactive. Sabine is 100 % reliable, in fact, she spent most of the time with our baby and also enjoyed moments of play and interaction with our 3 year old, who was also fond of her. Sabine tidied up the kitchen for us on many occasions and… read more

Quelle chance d'avoir rencontré une personne aussi expérimentée que Sabine. Elle nous a non seulement apporté ses nombreuses compétences mais aussi son grand coeur.
C'est avec un grand plaisir que nous l'accueillerons à nouveau.
