Description
Hello!
My name is Grace, and I recently graduated from college with a Bachelors in Architecture degree. I am an avid reader and enjoy writing. I also enjoy spending time drawing or playing musical instruments. I often take my telescope out on clear nights and spend lots of time in my garden on warm days. Cooking is a hobby of mine, but I am much better at baking and always in search of new recipes.
I enjoy traveling and am hoping to experience more new places through workaway! Italy is probably my favorite place so far, but I am a little biased because I spent 3 months in Sorrento for a study abroad program during my time in college.

More details about your skills
My skills include starting and maintaining vegetable and flower gardens, cooking and baking, cleaning, driving a car, sewing, painting, and caring for children. I am also capable of working with tools and have built small projects such as raised garden beds, bird houses, and stools. I know quite a bit about construction of houses and can design buildings and graphics using computer programs because of my Architecture schooling. However, I am a quick learner and can pick up just about any skill with a little practice. I am also certified in CPR/AED and First Aid by the American Red Cross, and have been for roughly 6 years now.

Dear Grace,

We want to express our heartfelt gratitude for the incredible five weeks you spent with our family. Your time with us has been nothing short of amazing, and we couldn't be happier with the positive impact you've had on our lives.

From the moment you arrived, it was evident that you are a warm, compassionate, and hardworking… read more individual. Your dedication and commitment to your tasks were truly impressive. You approached every chore with enthusiasm and a strong work ethic, making our daily routines run smoothly and efficiently. Your willingness to take on various responsibilities, from helping with household chores to assisting with childcare, and building giant things with LEGO, was greatly appreciated.

What truly stood out, though, was your ability to connect with our family on a personal level. You quickly became a beloved member of our household, and we all genuinely enjoyed spending time with you. Your patience, kindness, and sense of humor made you not only a valuable helper but also a cherished friend. Our children, in particular, formed a special bond with you, and the positive influence you've had on them is immeasurable.

Your cultural exchange with our family was enriching in so many ways. We loved learning about your background, traditions, and experiences, which opened our eyes to a world beyond our own. Your stories and insights broadened our horizons and opened our hearts and minds.

Your proactive and independent nature, combined with your adaptability to new situations and environments, made you a perfect fit for our family. Your creativity and resourcefulness added a special touch to our home, from the delicious dishes you prepared to the fantastic projects you initiated with the kids.

In addition to your incredible work ethic and interpersonal skills, your positive attitude and boundless enthusiasm brought a vibrant energy to our home. Your smile was infectious, and you brightened our every day with your presence.

As you move on to your next adventure, please know that you have left a lasting and indelible mark on our lives. The memories we have created together will be treasured forever, and we hope to stay in touch and, if possible, welcome you back into our home in the future.

We sincerely thank you for your unwavering dedication, your friendship, and your exceptional contributions to our family. You are a true gem, and we wish you all the best in your future endeavors. Wherever life takes you, we have no doubt that you will continue to inspire and uplift those lucky enough to cross your path.
