Description
My name is Ellery, I grew up in the quiet American Midwest. I have lived and traveled in Israel for the past 2 years or so, and plan to move back longer term. I have stayed with 3 different workaway hosts and they have all been really wonderful experiences.

Some things about me: I plan to go back to school to study ecology/evolutionary biology and wildlife science. I love working with kids, and I enjoy camping and hiking and being outdoors. I would like to learn some new skills if you're willing to teach me, and I'm happy to help in any way I can.

Improving my Hebrew is a priority for me! I would love to practice speaking as much as possible :)

Bat Chen and Dror are wonderful, I had a great two weeks in the mountains at their House of Crafts.

I loved staying in the tiny private cabin in the mountains. It was cozy and felt like camping every night. The area is spectacular, with hiking trails, a view of the Judean desert, and even a cave.
There are so many ways to contribute here that… read more

How do I love thee? Let me count the worka-ways...

I stayed with Hadas and Neria and their children for 6 weeks, which flew by. I was welcomed whole-heartedly, and felt comfortable from day 1 sharing a space with them and communicating whatever I might have needed.
My contribution here consisted mostly of helping out with the kids as well as… read more

Laissé par l'hôte (Warm family looking for a ...) pour le workawayer (Ellery)

So bottom line –
I would strongly and full heartedly recommend Ellery for any sort of workaway out there. Putting aside for a moment the lifesaving help she has provided for us in the past few weeks, she is simply one of the best people.
She is honest and extremely upfront (in the best way possible) which allowed us to instantly feel and treat her… read more as family. I felt super comfortable asking her for any kind of help (which I admit, after 6 workawayers, is still something I need to get used to). I simply knew that she was here to do her best for herself and for those around her and I felt that I could trust her in the sense that if any discomfort arises in any time we would be able to talk is out easily.
Her help in our house went beyond anything we knew. Workaway in our home can sometimes be very vague which is comfortable for many volunteers since it gives a lot of freedom. However, Ellery "made" us be as clear as possible which was just another testimony of her sincere interest in contributing as much as she can. She is great at everything she does. Cleaning, organizing moving things around. She is very good at doing things thoroughly and she really puts her heart into everything she does.
Ellery also spent a great amount of time with our kids. She developed a real friendship with our 4.5 year old. They are a lot alike in many ways - both communicative and curious and way too smart for their age. They talked, took walks, played, read books, and really got to know each other. It was not only time well spent for my daughter (who really needed that attention at that time) but seeing them together and talking to Ellery also provided new insights for us as parents. As for our 1.5 year old - he was completely smitten by her. He would light up every morning when she stepped out of her room, and it got to a point where he was only interested in her reading to him his favorite books.
I will admit that there was something personal with Ellery. We seemed to "click". We shared a lot of the same values (which is funny considering I was worried about her being religious while we are so not so) and in many ways we seemed to appreciate life in the same way.
Haven that said – I stand behind my initial statement – I recommend Ellery for any kind of workaway (or anything else, for that matter) – cause I think that her big heart, decisiveness and amazing communication skills are all you really need for getting that help you need, and for us it produced a wonderful friendship.

I want to express my highest recommendation of this family. My stay with Ofer was unexpected, but I am so glad I am here during corona.
I have been staying here 2 weeks now, doing mostly housework (cleaning, washing dishes, doing laundry, reorganizing, helping with food preparations). The work is not difficult and there is some flexibilty with… read more
