Description
Hi, I'm from New Zealand with experience in animal care, organic gardening, property management administration, community support work, tourist driving, retail, factory work, with a wide range of practical and people skills. I am easy going by nature, but conscientious - if I say I will do a task - I will. I show initiative, value clear communication and pride myself on being flexible and adaptable to support the needs of all involved in a project if I can. I am 59 but don't let that put you off, I'm fit, healthy and capable (check out photo of me painting in Sri Lanka last year) have a ‘can do’ attitude and enjoy a challenge. I am sensitive to the needs of people and all beings around me.
I love adventures in other countries, meeting new people and supporting those particularly caring for rescued animals. I have worked with animals and people for the SPCA, the Humane Society and volunteered in programs and shelters in India, Eastern Europe, Pacific Islands and Asia. I was assistant to an English teacher for 3 weeks last year in Sri Lanka. I have my own garden and enjoy working others gardens, and projects on their property including painting and cleaning. Happy to support people in their homes and in daily life. I live a simple life in a small basic home in a relatively remote part of rural New Zealand. I love nature, particularly the sea, swimming, kayaking, walking, reading, Qi gong, writing and gardening. I do not need entertaining, yet enjoy some shared time working together and conversation. I prefer to be accommodated in a private, self contained space where I am happy for the most part to purchase and make my own meals and have some time to myself in the evenings. -

Quelles sont vos compétences ?
I have a range skills from practical hands on animal care skills, gardening, driving, cleaning through to managing the daily work flow, logistics and supervising others. I've worked in the responsible roles - Quality control in a dog management program and as the primary point of contact in helping resolve animal welfare issues in rural small town New Zealand. I have also facilitated job seekers courses. I enjoy researching and writing particularly about animal welfare and social justice issues. I have the communication, people and computer skills required to work with others but I'm just as happy mucking out and getting on with things unsupervised.
