Hello lovely families of the world-- Dee here!
I am a furloughed (officially retired early) Flight Attendant, Educator and English Language Specialist.
I'm looking for a family who will truly appreciate my housekeeping help around the house or your hospitality center/ tourist B&B --- in the garden and/or with the kids (infants to secondary school) --I'm particularly interested in small farm/ garden life and nice families who are running a B&B style home.
I'm interested in helping out 4-5 hrs per day --I work until the task is finished and will need very little direction.
I would enjoy time to explore your beautiful country/ city and learn from others as we share food, music and experiences that one can't get from staring at social media on a cell phone:-)
I am a fully vaccinated, native English speaker born in U.S.--happy to speak and teach English to anyone who is interested. I have family roots in England/ Ireland/ Scotland/ Belgium and French Canada. I am currently learning to speak Italian.
Things I would like to share or teach:
--English Language (I have a Masters Degree in Education)
--Violin or Viola Lessons to family kids or community kids. Classical, Fiddle and Celtic
--Internet-Based Marketing & Home-Business Skills
--Farming, Care of Farm Animals
--Experienced child care provider
--Charity work
--Arts and Crafts
--Housekeeping
Things I would love to learn more about:
`--Horse Therapy/ Equine Assisted Therapy
--International Cooking
--Spanish, Italian, Portuguese & French Languages as well as Japanese
--Raising, herding and milking goats or simple gardening
--How to Ride A Horse (enough to trail ride comfortably)
--Small Farming & Gardening
--Hospitality
--Local Arts and Crafts
--Local Coffee- Cafes
My gap year closed a long time ago--- now I'm just enjoying the joys of adulthood.
I'm a little older (more mature:-) than the average 20-something youngster that may apply for your home-stay, however, I am super healthy, active-fit, love to hike and explore outdoors and play with kids. I am loving, kind, respectful, and consider myself a nature nurturer--having said that-- I'm hoping to find a family or couple that believes in treating me as part of their family and is equally respectful and kind.
I'm available for a minimum 1-month stay and much longer if needed. Willing to do small paint projects or weed pulling, etc. I'm not afraid to get my hands dirty. I love taking care of animals. Feeding, walking, cleaning up:-)
Hope to meet you soon!
Warm Regards
