Description

Hello!

I love connecting with others and spreading joy. I am motivated by creativity and ideas. What brings me happiness: nature, flowers, animals, people, meditation, dancing, being creative, writing, eating, exploring.

— desire to connect culturally and personally (I'd love to be an adopted sister/daughter/auntie!)
— 1 to 6 weeks
— I need to work online for a few hours a day, but I can be fairly flexible so my hours fit your schedule

What I can help you with—my best skills:
-Classes or workshops, such as writing, poetry, creativity, and connection
-Social Media
-Video editing
-English conversation and teaching
-Elderly companionship
-Tutoring kids, helping with homework
-Writing coaching for people of any age
-Art projects
-Interior design
-Hospitality
-Cleaning
-Cooking (I love to cook and bake but am only intermediate when it comes to cooking)

In my free time I would be: working remotely, meeting new friends, going on walks, relaxing, reading, writing, wild swimming, and exploring new places.

*I like cats but I am slightly allergic. It's not a problem if you have one but I will keep the bedroom door closed. :)

My background: I have been an English and social studies teacher in the U.S. and Mexico City. I have the most experience with kids ages 11-18, but am able to take care of kids at any age. Most recently, I've begun an online business and have departed on a trip-around-the-world, although I've paused it and am back home in Oregon. I hope to resume it soon. I have lots of experience dog sitting and cat sitting, too.

My travel plans:
