Description

Hi all! I graduate college with a BA in Psychology and interested in all things language. I hope to connect with people around the world and improve my language skills.
I am curious, excited, and hardworking. I have a calm demeanor and tend to think before I speak. I come off quiet at first, but give me some time and I will open up. I believe because of this, I work well with animals and children. I aim to please and make people happy. I listen to instructions well and would like to become apart of your family. I like directions and tasks to do. I am eager to learn new skills, even if I have zero experience.
I don't have any experience working on any eco projects or permaculture or even just a veggie farm, but I'd really like to gain skills in that area.

What else ...

I adore animals and come from a farming family, so I know how to put others needs before my own. I'm also super interested in caring for our environment and am going to school to major in Environmental Studies. This year I would love to gain some in-field experience working with different eco systems and communities around the world.

I'd really like to improve my French! I can understand more than I can speak. I was an au pair just outside of Paris for a couple of months before coming home for the holidays. Now I am ready to explore more of France and the French language!

Dorothea and Malamine are both lovely hosts and really care about your happiness in their home.
They were clear on what they wanted from me, but I also got a lot of free time and the chance to experience life in France. I was given the opportunity to walk around town, take the train to Paris, and even take French classes twice a week with some … read more

Most of the work I did was cleaning and basic housework, cooking dinner, and keeping Max on track for things he needed to get done.

I was happy to have Shannon as my workaday. She is a lovely, most kind and charming young girl, quiet and reserved at first but once you get to know her you will appreciate how sincere, "real" and deep she is.

She showed incredible … read more
