We are Mother and son. I have worked as a nurse all my working life specializing in palliative care. I am 67 and Frankie is 27. I live simply in rural Northland, NZ. I am very fit and healthy, spend a lot of time outside in the garden, digging and planting. We are currently planting thousands of native trees on our land, regenerating the wetland and hoping to bring the birdsong back. I love cycling and hiking among other activities. Frankie is very fit and strong and can bring the muscle! Obviously by my age I have lots of life experience and am very practical. I can paint and do a little DIY, cook, babysit, clean and take on most tasks. Frankie has been working in hospitality for the last few years and mostly earning to continue his travels . Frankie liven in Berlin for a year, working and learning to speak G
erman. He has been planting the forest and high pruning trees. I am meeting him on his travels.Interests

More details about your skills
I have been a nurse all my working life, with the last 20+ years working in the field of palliative care. I have four children and two grandchildren. I'm 67 so have a lot of life experience. I'm still working on a casual basis and I volunteer at an organic village market every week. I had my children later in life, they are in their 20s so they keep me young! I'm an avid gardener, wherever I have lived I have had a vegetable garden. I am fit and healthy and have an active lifestyle. I have done a lot of DIY in the various homes I have lived in. I am pretty good on the end of a paintbrush, ( currently painting my kitchen)I pay attention to detail, and am very practical. I am good with children, I love hanging out with them. I'm a decent cook and am very reliable and adaptable. Frankie is strong, very fit and is fun to have around. He is great in the garden, pruning trees, any DI Y projects, painting etc. He is also great with kids ,can cook and very sociable.
