Descripción
I have always loved to travel and experience different cultures. I am now widowed, my children are grown and independent and I have recently sold my business so am ready to explore the world and hopefully work at some interesting places along the way. I would love to learn more French and Spanish.

I have owned and operated various business. When my two boys were small I had a children’s swimwear wholesale company, manufacturing swimwear in Hong Kong and selling worldwide. I have started and run a Furniture and décor shop www.simplycottage.com.where I did lots of interior decorating and placing antiques in summer homes in the Muskoka vacation region of Ontario Canada.
When Covid hit I came back to Canada to spend time with my Mother, took a year contract job with a property developer as the director of Real Estate selling ocean front property in a beautiful area of British Columbia, Canada. www.fairwinds,ca.
I love amateur photography (@muskoka-styled on Instagram) but only to amuse myself and to keep my family up to date where I am!
I love horses and am an adequate rider but have not done anything more than trail rides for the past few years.
I have had my scuba license since age 24 and have been lucky enough to dive in some of the best locations in the world.
I am a good cook and enjoy both eating and creating all sorts of different foods. I strive always to eat healthy natural foods and while I am not a vegetarian I am happy to respect others food choices and eat and create vegan/vegetarian dishes. I have worked in restaurants in the past, ( distant past! ).
I like to garden although I am more the "general labor" rather than a person who has any in-depth knowledge of types of plants.. thank goodness there's Google.... I am great at organizing, decluttering and cleaning.
Having renovated several houses and a few commercial buildings and most recently, a church I am quite handy and not afraid to get my hands dirty and do some heavy lifting. I love physical work and am very happy painting and decorating. Refinishing and repurposing antiques is also a passion.
Love animals, when my boys were growing up we had the usual zoo of reptiles, fish and small furry beasts around the house and always a dog or two.
I have traveled extensively by myself including 5 months last year camping around New Zealand. And 5 months in 2017 traveling in Central America.
I am great at customer service having been in the retail business for many years.
I am also an active member of the Rotary Club when I’m at home in Muskoka Canada and will be on the board of my club in Bracebridge, Ontario in 2020.

I had the pleasure of spending a month in the lovely town of Agios Nikolaos with Irini and Vassilis. Their house is large and comfortable. Irini picked me up from the bus station and from the first day was a very gracious hostess who went out of her way to include me in outings and events with friends and family. We shared some lovely swims at… read more

Melloney was with us for 2 months - she was absolutely wonderful, hugely kind, caring and helpful. We enjoyed her friendliness and easy going approach, She was also very practical and competent in the garden. She will be greatly missed and we wish her well in her next Workaway adventures.

Melloney joined us in the North of the Netherlands and happily fitted in. She was happy working solo on tasks and also working alongside others. She shared her design skills and created an exterior design for our garden to hide away an ugly pile of rooftiles.. If you are seeking someone who can work independently, has attention to detail and… read more

I stayed with Elisa and her 2 children for a month. I was originally to go for the whole month of June but the family changed the arrival date to the 9 th of June and the. asked me to stay until the end of July. They then said they only needed me until the 25th of July when family was arriving so the dates were very fluid.
Elisa is very kind and… read more

Melloney was very helpful with the kids and very Pleasant woman to host.. but she just left the house one day and literally escaped from our house 17 days before the date we decided months before.
She left us without help (and kids are involved) so I am Not sure 100% if I can reccomend to have her if children are involved. She just went on a bus… read more

Mellony came to me in Scotland as a workaway for a month. She is the nicest person and was the most wonderful help. My house is newly renovated and she helped with finishing touches in the house and garden - often without being asked.

She is a great cook, a competent driver, and was happy to be left in charge of house, dogs, horses and cat! She… read more

Meloney was absolutely fantastic. She helped me such a lot. I just needed to give her a brief outline of what I needed and she just got on with it. Weeding, cleaning (my house is now spotless) cooking and helping me with my paper crafting. We made soap together and she made hers better than mine (I made a mistake) We were so sorry to see her go… read more

I have just spent a Month (Feb) with Jan, Tony and their son Daren. As soon as I arrived I was made to feel at home and I very much enjoyed my time with them.
Their home is in an incredible setting in the desert, there are many places to hike and explore and the landscape is very interesting. Terbanas is an easy 30 min walk and has restaurants,… read more

It was a pleasure to welcome Melloney who was a great help to us during her almost month stay. She is patient, dedicated and a master of organisation. She made a real change throughout the château and had many great ideas.
On a human level it was fun to spend time with her and hear about all her travels and different life experiences. She’s also… read more

I have just spent a month with Sebastien, D’arcy and their three children. The family Château is a fabulous, unique, family home full of wonderful books and artifacts documenting Sebastien’s family history. The children are bright, articulate, and very active, jumping seamlessly between French, English and German, putting my dismal language to… read more

Melloney was probably THE BEST workawayer that I've ever had and I have my had many amazing and great people stay with me over the years. She basically is just like having an extra 'you' around the place. She's a mother herself so she just does what needs to be done without you having to ask. Her personality is super easy going, chatty and… read more

Melloney spent a short time with us and in that time she transformed my little boutique into a magnificent showpiece. She fitted in so well it felt l had known her for a long time. She is unafraid to get her hands dirty and is able to see what needs to be done and how to help without needing to be asked. I feel as if l made a friend who will… read more

Had a wonderful stay with Beverly. She is a kind and generous hostess, my only regret was that I couldn’t stay longer.
Her place is in a lovely village which is fun to explore, the house is full of life. We ate wonderful ( huge) meals as she’s a great cook. I was able to stay in a beautiful room with a lovely en-suite bathroom as there were no… read more
