Description

House-sitter, pet-sitter, gardener, farm hand, animal groomer, house-painter, organizer, bookkeeper, auditor, editor, wordsmith. I enjoy making things more logical, efficient, and beautiful; whether it's a yard, garden, closet, garage, dirty dog, barn, attic, or business plan. My favorite hobbies involve animal care, organizing spaces, and renovating. I love making a difference and spending a quiet evening with a puzzle or book. Give me an improvement project and I will be happy.

Autres infos...

I'm an experienced caretaker, personal assistant (house, office, gardens, elders), and a happy worker bee, whether alone or in tandem. Annual projects include beach cleanups on Cozumel, maintaining a 5-acre church property's gardens; and helping friends expand their gardens with heirloom transplants and sustainable practices. My Workaway experiences have involved caretaking for goats, dogs, hens, and gardens (prepping, seeding, harvesting); several driveway face-lifts, organizing/clearing out empty nesters' unused rooms of long-forgotten family belongings; staging homes for photography, and helping people downsize and organize without stress..

Kaia was another blessing in my life....... sent my way to help pack up my house and guide me through a difficult time. She is fantastic with organizing, cooking, cleaning, caring, gardening. She clearly loves all animals - she doted on my goats - brought them treats and trimmed their hooves. This is a woman of many skills, and her humor will help … read more

Kaia swept in and swept out ten days later and I am still discovering things she accomplished while she was here that I hadn't noticed before she left! (For all those "other" things, thanks Kaia.) I say "swept" because she is a bundle of energy and positivity; very capable, very insightful and full of fascinating (well-told) stories. We wish her … read more

I just spent a FABULOUS 10 days at Scott & Maggie's farm. A lovely home, beautiful vistas, abundant wildlife, clear communication, kind and generous hosts, and plenty of small projects (all optional) to allow for whimsy, productivity, and fulfillment. Maggie introduced me to new games, and we shared lovely conversations and fabulous food. I highly … read more

Kaia was a self motivated and strong worker. She watched my place while i took a retreat to the mountains for a month and when i got back all the crops we had planted in the greenhouses before i left were growing and doing great. It was a pleasent suprise that a not so experienced gardener was able to pay attention and cared enough to make sure … read more

Chuck's homestead was ideal for kicking back, digging in the dirt and playing in the greenhouses and gardens. We harvested veggies, split firewood, and found endless, small projects inside for the 2 (out of 18) days that it rained outside (washed the curtains, hung some artwork, sorted through cupboards, refinished a table). After work, we made … read more

We were delighted to welcome Kaia to our house. She is an energetic and voluntary person. She likes to take initiatives while respecting our habits, we can entrust her house without fear! She loves animals and especially our dog Gandalph who regretted his departure! She has a beautiful personality, generous and warm. I regret to have such a poor … read more

This was my second Workaway and a meaningful learning experience. Felicie and Charly are fabulous hosts, extremely hard workers and dedicated parents. Their commitment to family and creating a joyful unique experience for guests is woven into each day's activities. I found a myriad of opportunities to help, whether side-by-side or off on my own; … read more

I have just spent the best week with Kaia and her brother James - Jimmy as we like to call him - and having just dropped them at Limoges train station, I feel very sad. I picked them up from the same station 9 days ago and since then we have had the most brilliant time. Mornings and early afternoon were spent working on my 7 acres - or " yard " as … read more

We had a wonderful time for the week that we stayed with Maria Louise. We enjoyed gardening and work around the yard, travelling into town on shopping errands, phenomenal meals and getting to know her, her dog Millie, and her wonderful neighbor Christian. The accommodations were superb, food was plentiful, and the work was enjoyable. Brava … read more
