Description

Hello! Thank you for visiting my profile!

I'm currently with a host in Ireland, County Mayo. I'm available in any part of Ireland from early October and on, ideally stay for two weeks or more.
I love to cook- I bake great Irish soda bread and can make homemade yogurt.
I'm 24 years old, a lifelong gardener, adventurer, animal whisperer, hiker, and nature lover. I enjoy getting my hands dirty and exchanging skills, meeting new people, and learning about different cultures; I'm quite good with electronics, tools, and general handyman work. I have references available for childcare work, house sitting, gardening/landscaping projects, professional management, and pet sitting.
I was born in North Carolina, USA, but have spent part of my life in England and hold dual American & British citizenship.
I am educated in environmental studies/sustainable systems with deep knowledge in gardening, native plant horticulture, permaculture, energy systems, and composting. I also tutor English online as a part time job with children ages 6-16 as well as some adult students!
