Descripción

Hi !
I'm Moira-a 39 year old woman originally from northern Vancouver Island. I am currently completing my mandatory placements for my Master's in Psychotherapy in East Sussex. In the past few years, I have become very passionate about equine-assisted therapy, and hope to integrate it in my future career. I just wrote my dissertation on the ethics of including horses in the therapy session.

I have lived all over Canada and abroad. I worked on a tall ship in the Caribbean for five months. During university, I was able to participate in a 6 week study tour of east Africa. I taught ESL for six years in the Middle East (including Saudi Arabia!) and South Korea, which allowed me to travel to over 50 countries. I love to travel but at a much slower pace now. Quality over quantity! And prefer to feel like a local rather than a tourist.

I have a plethora of employment experiences- teaching English to all ages, campsite attendant, farmhand, deckhand, receptionist, housekeeper, server, nanny and community gardener, to name a few. The skills I can offer are basic gardening/ landscaping, animal care (domestic/farm), child care, general maintenance, and errand runner. I take my time with all tasks and pay attention to detail rather than rush.

I am very independent and prefer small groups or one to one interactions, allowing me to get to know individuals better and have genuine conversations. I do best with a balance of people/ alone time. I am usually found outdoors appreciating nature, or enjoying a cat's company at home while watching a new crime series.

Thanks for taking the time to read. Please contact me with any questions.

I enjoy running, nature walks, swimming and exploring less known areas. I have completed many races including a beer marathon in Belgium! I am an avid movie fan. I prefer animals to humans especially cats and horses, and have ridden on and off for 20 years. My favourite place to be is at the beach.

Belinda was a saint and took me in at the last minute when another host had to cancel. She was was very clear about what needs to be done and allows you to work independently- lots of podcast listening for me ! The property is absolutely magical you won't want/need to leave. It even has its own swimming area on the riverbank- although it was too … read more

I loved hosting Moira! We had some great chats, and I really enjoyed getting to know her. She is a very interesting person, and has a curious mind - very fun to talk to! Moira was a huge help as I was transitioning back to teaching after a summer off, helping with dog walking, cleaning and cooking . I loved that we both value the balance of quiet … read more

Marieke took me in last minute when I needed a quick stop in Ottawa to get my UK visa processed. She trusted me right away with her home and pets. I helped with dog walking, meal prep and a bit of cleaning. It was a very relaxed space, with a balance of chatting and alone time. Her neighbourhood is very cute and safe to explore. If she has the … read more

Sarah was an absolute delight! She is very flexible and lets you make your schedule. I mainly did pet sitting for both Stormy (cat) and Spud (dog). Both animals are too cute. Spud loves his walks and pats while Stormy will give you affection when you deserve it -of course. I also did some yard work and painting. Sarah will let you use her car … read more

We would take Moira at our place anytime, any day.
Respectful, kind, funny, willing to help and to learn. She showed love to our dog and goats, help chase runaway chickens, assist in every posible way and even treat us some desert (which we already miss).
We where fortunate tu have her in our home and farm.

I wish I could give Moira more than five stars! It was such a blessing to have Moira share the journey with us! She brings humor, skills, knowledge, and responsible service to her hosts! Moira was lovely with all the animals, very relaxed, and kind. She also did not hesitate to mow the lawn and worked diligently inside and outside. I especially … read more

Moira really saved us. I had another workaway cancel with only a few days notice. Moira was on last minutes and was able to come and help on very short notice. Thanks for that!
Moira was a good helper and pick up on the different chores we had very fast. She learned all 45 horses names in record time. I wish she could have stayed longer. She was … read more

Lea picked me up from my hotel and right in the truck I felt like I was home. The house is so cozy and the double fireplace is the best thing ever after coming in from the snow. Molly the dog will want allll the pets. There was a good balance between spending time together and having your own space. The "jailhouse" where I stayed is a small cabin … read more

It was just as magical as I thought it would be. This was my first workaway and I think it will be hard to beat! Hillary has created such a serene place for the horses and people. You will definitely change your perspective on how you interact with horses once here. I was used to approaching a horse on my terms without looking for the animals' … read more
