Description
Hello =)
I’m Teressa – I’m an American in graduate school in Germany studying animal behavior and cognition. I love science, but I’m also very artistic - I enjoy painting, dancing, playing ukulele, and any creative task. With my free time, I also love spending time outdoors - hiking, biking, kayaking, camping, fishing, and more. And of course, I love to travel and immerse myself in different cultures and lifestyles. WorkAways have provided me with a great opportunity to learn new skills, meet great people, and travel to new areas.

I have experience working with a variety of animals. In my past WorkAways, I worked with ducks, chickens, dogs, cats, rabbits, horses, turkeys, and a donkey. I also used to volunteer to help train service dogs and to rehabilitate wildlife.
I have experience with a variety of home and land maintenance tasks. I also enjoy cleaning up around the house and assisting with meal preparation.
I have experience taking care of house plants and some outdoor gardening.
I speak English and could help with grammar, but I am not fluent in any other language. I have also worked as a science and math tutor before.
For many years, I worked as a babysitter. The kids I watched always loved having me around, and I loved being around them too.
I am artistic, which allows me to be very creative. I have helped with house decorating and painting.
I enjoy being outside and physically active, as well as doing DIY tasks.
I am a quick learner and always approach a challenge with a positive attitude.

Teressa spent 2 weeks with us in March. It felt more like having a good friend stay – she was so easy to have around, got on well with our friends and family, and was really interesting to talk to.

She was great with all the animals, helpful on… read more

I stayed with Andrea and Martin for about two weeks in March. The days started with a nice breakfast and a walk. We explored many beautiful local trails with their wonderful dogs.

With a good sense of humor, she was always cheerful, and the 17 days she spent with us went by too quickly!
During her stay with us we… read more
