Middle aged couple in Warrenville, IL (western suburbs of Chicago) looking for friendly people to help with acre of gardens, orchard, and vegetable beds and in home.
We are very friendly, flexible, and open to many things. I am a writer, pastor, and speaker, and various other creative things. My husband is a doctor. We love traveling and exploring, and love meeting people of a similar mindset. We're open to whatever working arrangement you find best and happy to tell you all the best things to do in the area! We're very quiet and introverted, but we enjoy learning from you!

List of priority projects we are currently doing that you may spend time on:
1. Painting rooms
2. Mulching gardens
3. Planting seeds inside (before May 15) or planting seedlings outside (after May 15)
4. Pruning or cutting down trees/bushes
5. Working with cheese or making cheese from scratch as a hobbyist
6. Making meals and basic housecleaning
7. Clearing land for native planting and pollinator areas
8. Weeding
9. Harvesting vegetables and fruit

We are only accepting vaccinated candidates at this point, and we are both fully vaccinated.

I stayed with Becca for 5 days and helped in the yard with weeding, watering, harvesting and moving dirt into bare spots. Becca was delightful to spend time with and we enjoyed talking about our life experiences. The pets were darling and added to the ambiance of this lovely rural home and setting not too far from Chicago. I missed meeting Jill… read more

I had a wonderful volunteering experience with Jill, Brent, and their daughter Becca. From the moment I arrived, I felt welcomed and part of the family. Although I only had a few days with Jill before she left for a trip to Spain, she was incredibly kind and caring.

Brent was especially generous with his time and knowledge. I learned a lot from… read more

My time here is enjoyable and work is not hard.
Brent and Becca make sure everything I need.
We have good and interesting conversation specially during dinner time.
The transportation here to Chicago downtown is quite limited but it's possible to do day trips.
I was weeding, picking red berries and it was so fun.

Lucas was a wonderful addition to our home--our only regret was that it was only a week! He is an intelligent and interesting young man with whom we enjoyed many conversations. He was quite self-sufficient and made the most of his time in the area. He did so much in the garden in just one week--work that would have taken me all spring, and I am so… read more

I stayed with Jill, Brent and their adult daughter Becca for a week in Warrenville. It was my first workaway experience in the US and it was such a nice one. They really treated me as part of the family. I was overwhelmed, and felt as comfortable and relaxed as back home.

I stayed for a couple of weeks with Jill and Brent, and they were amazing. They made me feel like it was my home. The garden is a lovely and peaceful place if you want to relax for a bit. Warrenville is also a lovely place and very quick drive to Route 59 Train Station, which is where you'll get a cheap train ride to Chicago.

Thank you Jill and… read more

I stayed with Brent and Jill for a week in June, they are kind and flexible people, it was pleasant to stay with them and help them with weeding and cooking Italian food for them, meeting their daughters who are very nice; and even though I only stayed for a short time it was pleasant.

We loved having Anjelika with us, if only for a brief stay. She is so enjoyable to talk to and has so many good ideas! She is a gentle, intelligent soul who wants to contribute in any way she can. We felt as if she didn't want to just do work for us but to make our lives better for her having been here.

Max and Diane were by far my favorite workaway people so far. They didn't simply do the things on our list (which was more than we even expected) but were always looking for ways to help. Their attitude and interest in learning was excellent. We enjoyed our conversations very much. Any host would be fortunate to have them.

We had an amazing time staying with Jill and Brendt taking care of the garden, the house, making cheese and picking the asparagus. The house was so comfortable and we started feeling at home right away. And Chicago was only a 45 mins drive away by train, which is perfect!
