Description
Hi, my name is Netty. Are you looking for a multiple talented mature woman to assist you? Then please read my profile.
I have lived abroad for a number of years and that has made me a bit restless. About six years ago I quit my job and have been travelling and Workawaying around the globe, looking for new experiences and learning new skills.
As a mature woman I bring loads of experience with me in many areas. Over the last few years I have worked away in Greece, Scotland, Cyprus, Colombia, Surinam, Taiwan as housekeeper, cleaner, gardener, catcarer and dog walker. In Australia and New Zealand I have worked as a wwoofer (similar to Workaway) in several B&B's and plant nurseries.
The last few years I have spent in Portugal and it looks like I'm here to stay!
I am interested in gardening, animal care and basically anything that sparks my attention.
I like reading, yoga, healthy food (flexitarian), nature, walking, birdwatching. I can also appreciate cities, as they hold their own interest, architecture, pubs, musea, theater.
Skills and knowledge I'd like to share or learn
Gardening
Eco Projects
Helping around the house
Animal Care
Hospitality/Tourism
Charity Work
Art Projects

It was only a short stay, but Rose made me feel very welcome. It was a pleasure to work in her lovely garden. I enjoyed working with Rose in the house and our evening games of Scrabble. Rose even let me win a couple!

Netty was just such a lovely person who worked really hard in my garden. An expert declutterer we did enjoy clearing out cupboards and drawers together as well. An excellent guest who is welcome back again anytime.
I wish her well with her adventures.

If you love cats this is the place to be! I spent a couple of months at the farm looking after about 40 beautiful Bengals and enjoyed every minute of it.
Courtney and Dan are both great cooks, the accomodation is very comfortable. Located in a real Aussie gum tree forest, the farm is a great spot for nature lovers. Nowhere to go without your own… read more

It was a pleasure to brainstorm and work with Michael. He is open to new ideas and gives plenty space to experiment (talking about the roof garden :)
Yuanlin is a nice introduction to the Taiwanese lifestyle with big markets, temples and busy city life. It is also a good hub for trips to the country side.
Thank you for your hospitality Michael… read more

Netty came to stay with us for a little while and was a terrific guest. We helped start our new rooftop garden and really gave me some good ideas and tips that were common sense, but I completely didn't think about! She opened my eyes in many ways about things to use and places to scavenge for items that can make, build and develop things.

Netty has been with us for two months and half, and we've been really happy! She's been really very helpful with everything: cleaning, catsitting, sewing, decorating, and most of all gardening!
We hope she'll come back in Greece in the future!
