More details about your skills

I hold a degree in Biomedical Science, which has given me a strong sense of responsibility, organisation, and attention to detail.

I am Grade 7 standard in flute and have a real love for music and creativity. I also dance ballet and contemporary. I would be very happy to share music and movement.

I love travelling and experiencing different cultures, and I have previously worked as an au pair in South Italy.

I have also volunteered in a children’s hospital, which was incredibly rewarding and helped me develop patience, empathy and a nurturing approach.

Kimberley was such a good fit. Her relaxed personality was very easy to get along with and her adaptability was incredible.
We were very happy to have her assist us in some grass cutting, painting and hornet trap removal. Even more so the initiative she took to give our kitchen and glassware a good deep cleaning.
Highly recommended. We hope to … read more

What an absolute JOY it has been to spend time in Sekiyama and get to know Peter and Mayu. They are so easy to get along with. Even though they are busy running a business, they are still very much involved in creating a great atmosphere and a wonderful cultural exchange.

Peter roasts his own coffee and he was always kind enough to make me a cup … read more

Beautiful and kind Kim.
Just having her around made the house feel brighter.
She got along so well with the other two Workawayers, and everyone enjoyed working together with her.
She has incredible energy and stamina. When we went hiking, she never complained once and never even said she was tired. She just kept going with a smile.
One of my … read more favorite memories was our trip to Shiga to see fireflies. We spent about two hours traveling each way by train, and in the end we only saw around five fireflies.
Karen, a Czech Workawayer who came with us, seemed disappointed that we had traveled so far to see only a handful of fireflies. She kept saying that we should have gone to watch the fireworks by the sea that were taking place on the same day instead.
To be honest, I felt a little sorry for bringing everyone all that way.
But Kim completely changed how I felt.
She kept pointing excitedly and saying, "Look! Look! There's one! Such a tiny little light... wow!"
She was genuinely moved by those small, faint lights. Her excitement wasn't about how many fireflies there were, it was about being able to see them at all.
Whether it was hiking up a mountain without a single complaint or being amazed by the tiny glow of a firefly, Kim has a special ability to appreciate the simple beauty around her. She is the kind of person who finds joy and wonder in things that many people would overlook, and I think that is a truly wonderful quality.
She also enjoyed every meal so much. I've rarely met someone with so few dislikes when it comes to food. She happily ate everything I cooked and always seemed genuinely grateful for every meal.
Whenever I told her what time I would start cooking, she would come downstairs right on time and help me prepare the food.
She and Eleanor, another Workawayer from the UK, became best mates and built an amazing team together.
Thanks to Jasmine, who stayed with us before, I already had a very positive impression of British people. But Kim and Eleanor made that impression even stronger.
These past two weeks have been so much fun.
I can't thank Kim enough.
She was also very gentle and loving with our new puppy, Lamune, and treated her with so much kindness.
I'll miss hearing Kim's cheerful voice around the house, but I'm sure we'll meet again someday in the UK.
Thank you, Kim.
Take care of yourself, stay happy, and keep that wonderful smile.
I hope to see you again soon. ❤️

I had a great experience staying with Mika for two weeks. From the moment I arrived, she was incredibly hospitable and made me feel comfortable straight away. Mika is very funny, outgoing and down-to-earth. We shared lots of laughs and had many great conversations throughout my stay, and I always enjoyed listening to her stories.
