Description
I am a visual artist living 45 minutes from Adelaide and 500mts from a BEAUTIFUL beach! I have three adult daughters, one who lives close by. I have a productive garden that always needs tending and of course using the produce and cooking. I have had a few workawayers and always enjoy trying a favourite dish from their culture.

A beautiful, natural beach is a 5 minute walk away. There is a fantastic farmers market every Saturday in nearby Willunga. A supermarket is a 3 min drive away with a larger shopping centre just further down the road. Adelaide is 45 minutes away and the train is close by. McLaren Vale is famous for its many boutique wineries that are open for tastings. The whole Fleurieu area is very picturesque with many small towns to visit, National Parks for hiking and an hours drive to Cape Jervis to catch the ferry to Kangaroo Island.
Aide
There will always be a few weeds in my fruit and vegetable garden, general housework. Cooking your favourite food can be a task too! I would also welcome Italians for language practise.

My friend Jordyn and I had an amazing time with Eileen!! Got to help out with a nice variety of yard and house tasks, from weeding to cooking to restoring an old table, as well as lending a hand with a gorgeous art project of Eileen's!

It was a pleasure hosting Brooke and Jordyn. They stayed with me for a week and worked their way through my list of jobs, always with a smile and positive attitude. They used initiative and worked well together as well as separately. Well mannered and smart young women, I wish them well in their travels.

Caterina was only with me for 3 days so I can't comment very much on skills but the few housekeeping jobs that were done were done well, I also practised speaking Italian.Caterina is polite, smart and quiet, needing to spend time alone as well as enjoying the company of the other workawayers that were staying at the same time.

Eileen is the sweetest, most generous and helpfull host, doing her best to give you a great experience staying at her house. The tasks did fit my skills, and Eileen was always aware, that I had some time on my own.

Our experience at Eileen's Was just perfect. Our shores were easy and enjoyable (cleaning, cooking&gardening) so we had in off time to explore the area or just relax in her nice garden. Maslin's beach it's stunning (now one of our favourite places in Adelaide), perfect to walk, meditate, read, write or take a sun bath on warm days.

Rozenn is a lovely young French girl who is super easy to get along with. Always willing to help out and give anything a try. She helped set up a website for me and did some gardening. She has a gentle and positive demeanor. After my stay she went to help on a camel trek so I guess I can describe her as adventurous! Merci Rozenn x
