Profile information
Description
Hi there, I live in The Hague, Netherlands & a single mother to 2 adult children who live in South Africa & United Kingdom, respectively. I speak English, French and a bit of Afrikaans similar to Dutch. I am a global traveler, currently finishing a work contract in the Netherlands on 31 July. I have residency in the Netherlands until 1 November 2025. I love house cleaning preferably, some cooking, walking dogs, providing company by listening, talking, walking or reading (English) to a person my age but also younger people. I also work for myself on the Stock Market (7-9.30am) and from 3pm to 6pmCET. I’m available to house-sit / WorkAway from 8 to 31 August and possibly all of September, as my house lease ends 8 August. I prefer a video call to see if we’re a match. I look forward to meeting future hosts soon.

More details about your skills
I prefer a daily routine where I can help with house cleaning, some cooking, dog walking and keeping someone company by listening, reading, walking & talking to someone my age or younger in English. Preferably looking for a Workaway where I can fit in my own stock market work between 7 to 9 AM CET and 2.30 to 6PM CET. So essentially I can work between 9.30am to 2.30pm and I can clean up & wash dishes in the evening, by which time I prefer my own company in the evenings. Looking for a roof over my head from 8 to 31 August, preferably in the Netherlands or a nearby European country.
