Description
Hello hosts!
I'm Jennifer, an adventurous, happy, fun, reliable and honest, nomadic Australian woman.
I'm currently travelling picking up nursing contracts and in between I'd love to spend some time helping out on farms/properties.
I enjoy spending time alone, doing nothing - observing the beauty of nature, I love interaction too and really enjoy meeting new people. I enjoy cooking and creating meals from ingredients at hand.
I have had extensive horse handling experience in varied settings and countries.
I can work autonomously with little instruction, using my high level of common sense and observation. With a great sense of humour, I'm always having a laugh - often at myself. I get on well with everyone I meet, from babies to the elderly. I am enthusiastic, calm and adaptable.
Can't wait to meet you!

Enseignement
Quelles sont vos compétences ?
I have had many varied jobs over the years. I learn quickly and love learning new things - this has enabled me to acquire lots of different skills. I don't have any trade skills though, but have helped out with building work over the times and I once built four nesting boxes and installed roosts in a chicken coop for 35 hens without any assistance (using scrap material).
Great common sense, problem solving and communication skills. I am resourceful.
I cook from my heart and can whip up delicious food using ingredients lying around. I'm passionate about cooking using produce grown or acquired either from over abundance or as a bargain.
Horse care and handling
Farm and stable work
Driving a tractor and quad bike
Experienced with bar work, making coffee and waiting tables (including fine dining)
I have sound computer knowledge (mac and less pc)
Caring for farm animals and properties
Creating using materials which would otherwise be discarded as waste
I am practical and strong and can do labour intensive work

For me it was a special experience to have Jennifer by my side! From the very first moment on I've had the feeling that we know each other since ages! Whether we worked in the stable, had lunch- and cooking time, sat at the fireplace with a good book and a glass of wine.... we always were a perfect match.

Firstly, I cannot believe I overlooked leaving feedback. I spent three weeks helping Fiona and Richard on their large property back in July 2017. The first thing I saw were the horses, I was amazed they were trekking horses - they were in great condition, happy and relaxed. My accommodation was a comfortable, warm little cabin (attached to the… read more

Jen was fun and easy to get along with. Always helped with more than was needed. The double batch of slice is gone mostly eaten by me. She was fantastic helping with the children, and making my life so much more relaxed when she said she would make a mince pie for dinner. Thanks for everything.

Late November last year, I spent about 10 days with Tayip and Deborah at their farm, in preparation for minding their place whilst they travelled. The location is stunning, combined with an amazing energy. It is a mountainous area oozing with peace, freedom and a lightness. I hit it off with both of them and have developed a lasting friendship.… read more

Jennifer did some house sitting for us last November and December. We all loved her especially our dogs Ozzy and Lina. She looked after everything beautifully and got Lina through her first season without letting her get pregnant, she was so caring and practical with her. Jennifer also built some egg laying pods for the chickens which are used… read more

I spent an idyllic three weeks helping Muzaffer at his wonderful hotel. The accommodation is amazing, very roomy and comfortable. The tasks are varied and the days flow smoothly. I helped in the garden, preparing and serving meals for guests, helped with cleaning rooms (which even this was a pleasure)! and general help where needed. Muzaffer… read more

I couldn't find a rating high enough for Jen, so Excellent it is! And I'd like to thank my friend for letting me know about her "great Workawayer who can do anything!" and Jen who was able to fit in a trip down South to me.

It was a pleasure staying with Penny and helping her for nearly two weeks. Penny is a very caring, beautiful person. I was introduced to her through a previous Workaway experience and could see quickly why it was that I ended up there. Her property is just stunning, as is the greater region in all directions. Dear Ruby (the dog) is very sweet,… read more

It was such a pleasure getting to know Jennifer that we were truly sad when the time came to say goodbye. She took excellent care of our horses, they received such tender keen attention that we returned home to find them happier, healthier looking animals than before we had left. She is full of initiative and takes on projects of her own will,… read more
