Description

I am a seasonal worker, and have primarily worked on organic market garden farms in BC. I typically travel during the winter months but have decided to stay "home" this year, and have been house-sitting in Haida Gwaii for the winter!

Having worked and lived on farms for the past three years, I've acquired the skills necessary to handle and take care of remote properties. Wether that be feeding, cleaning stalls, and taking care of chickens, pigs, goats. (I am an animal lover and absolutely love dogs). Prepping, taking care of garden maintenance, and handling a wood stove responsibly. Recently completed a contract in Lillooet for a farm that additionally ferments (how cool!).

I enjoy rural/remote locations, surrounded by animals and being outdoors : )

Autres infos...

I lean towards the introverted side although I love getting to know new people, places, and cultures. I enjoy my personal space, and spend my free time outdoors or curled-up with a book.

I have lived in many shared housing situations, and I value clean and tidy common areas and maintaining a welcoming home. I love animals (especially dogs) and am happy to live alongside them, they are never a bother.
