Quelles sont vos compétences ?
I am a former Social Worker, now Barber. Farm girl, raised in the country. Numerous skills, predominantly making something out of nothing. I am proficient at gardening, DIY, animal care, refurbishing, reusing and recycling.
Not afraid of dirt or work.
I bartended my way through university and barber school, I have worked in orchards, landscaped and cleaned. There is little I haven't done over the years. I am not a massage therapist but took a massage coarse and reflexology as well. I trained with a traditional Native healer but it has been some time since i practiced.
I can paint,plaster and refinish antiques and windows. I have done upolstery for myself and others and make handmade quilts. I do leather work and repairs and sew mostly by hand.
I have a criminal record check as I was a volunteer for the Hospital Auxillary in Kamloops BC.
PS I give great haircuts and beard trims!

Autres infos...
I enjoy writing and books and movies. I am an omni-vert, in that I love a quiet night of stargazing or tipping a pint at the pub equally.
I am of First Nations descent and was raised in a traditional way. By that I mean in a cabin in the woods without plumbing or electric. We fished, hunted, picked berries and chopped wood.
I am a well rounded person for the experience and consider myself pragmatic and self sufficient.
I have traveled North America extensively, from Mexico to Nunavut and BC to the Maritimes, California, Arizona, New Mexico and more. Death Valley is my favourite so far.
I completed a 3 month cat sit in an Irish country house in West Cork. It was challenging and fun, I have learned a lot about myself in the process.
September update. I am now in France having spent a month each in Northern Ireland and Spain.

2024 update, have spent the winter in Newfoundland and spring in PEI.
Presently in Nova Scotia and loving it!

Roxanne was an awesome volunteer. She was willing and able and dedicated to the work we asked of her. She transformed our garden and took pride in her work. She was extremely sensitive to our space and schedules and seemed to appreciate our lifestyle. She is friendly and interesting and very energetic, we very much enjoyed her stay.

I had the best time at Rick and Sians, they are laid back and generous people. I was a little road weary when I arrived and was completely ready for what they had to offer. For starters, my own cabin and time to myself, the area is just remote enough that you feel like you are away from it all. It is a beautiful setting by the water and largely in… read more

Roxanne is an amazing woman! She did an excellent job at everything she undertook and completed. The thing I really appreciated the most was that I did not need to show Roxanne what needed to be done. This was such a blessing as I was really busy, and I knew that when I left things for Roxanne, it would be done even better than I could complete.… read more

Everything at Jean's was as advertised and more, there are no surprises here with the exception of how beautiful the setting is, pictures don't do it justice. The house is clean and quiet, after a month in St John's in the hostel it was a paradise for me.
Jean is exceptionally welcoming and good company, her cooking is restaurant quality and she… read more

I had a great time at Doreen''s, her house is beautiful and she is very welcoming. She gave me minimal direction and trusted me to get the work done and I appreciated that. She also let's you work on your skill set, as a result I got a lot of gardening done. She is a good cook and generous too, she even made me a strawberry rhubarb pie from… read more

LIsa works hard and she plays hard, she is smart and funny with a wealth of life experience. The house in Aigre was fabulous and filled with travelers from all over the world. Beautiful yard and garden to enjoy. The village is quaint and quiet with everything you need but not much else. The pub closes at 8 on a Saturday, maybe that's a good… read more

Roxanne has been an absolute gem. Such a hard worker and excellent company. My garden is beautiful, my garden table n chairs are painted beautiful, I am so happy with her arrival at this time as I was loosing the plot with what to do first. She just dealt with everything and set me back on my feet. It was sad to see her go, but I would have her… read more

Anna is a lovely person and her home is beautiful! The work was hard at times, weeding in Spain is what it is, but Anna was always fair about hours worked and break times. She is a good cook and my room was clean and comfortable, I was well taken care of. Her friends can be very entertaining to say the least!
Sax is a charming village only a few… read more

Roxanne arrived last minute and turned out to be an absolute gem. Covid spread amongst us including my elderly mother. As she remained testing negative she was incredible holding everything together, feeding the animals, keeping the house tidy and clean and being super amazing with my Mum.
She has amazing energy and is very motivated to do what… read more

My experience with Roxanne has been amazing and fruitful. She is a delightful woman, given to positivity, adventure, generosity, excellent communication, skill and staying power. I was happy for her to come to my home and sad indeed for her to leave. I hope Roxanne returns - or one day I will go to her and we shall have some adventures on her home… read more

Loretta is one of the most beautiful souls ever to inhabit the planet, it has been entirely my good fortune to cross paths with her.She is warm, genuine and brilliant in her own way.

What an amazing family and experience! This was a true Canadian outback adventure. The land is beautiful and the company is good. They are an intercultural family with a large group of diverse friends, musicians and artists, it was great.
