Descrição
Hello and Bonjour my name is Eileen and I am Canadian. I grew up in the province of Ontario.

I am a retired French Immersion teacher with 4 grown children who thankfully are independent and responsible adults. I now have 4 grandchildren and with more to come.

I have lived in Quebec City, France (twice) and New Zealand (twice). I have travelled in other countries as well and have thoroughly enjoyed many of my experiences. They were definitely experiences that were difficult however these situations have given me the opportunity to grow.

Connecting with people from different cultures, provinces and countries gives me great pleasure. I enjoy being busy and so the idea of a working holiday is enticing. I am eager to learn and participate in environments that are new to me and would otherwise be out of reach.

I have done 4 workaways so far. I've helped on a llama rescue farm, a horse rescue farm, a sheep farm and worked on a property digging new gardens and maintaining established gardens. I also did small in-home projects for the family.

I have completed three mission trips in Jamaica to teach guitar to young adults. I will be going on a mission trip to Tanzania in October 2025 to teach English at an all girls high school for three weeks.

I'm looking to forward to many new adventures ahead!

Any host who welcomes Eileen or her friend Monica will be very blessed - they are very wonderfully sweet and kind and went above and beyond in their help. They worked hard to help in the garden and in the house and it was also fun to get to them as well. We had a fun music night and went beach exploring as well as meeting up with a local friend… read more

Spending time at Andrea's was wonderful. She is easygoing and made us feel very welcomed. Monica and I had comfortable beds to sleep in and Andrea treated us to her international cooking style. We swapped travel stories and had some laughs. She introduced us to some of her friends and we enjoyed meeting them. We had the opportunity to go kayaking… read more

Eileen was so much fun, always a smile or joke. She is very willing to jump into help where ever needed, she communicates very well with the Team, she went out off her way to make other volunteers feel comfortable. Im so glad we had her come and helped her during her time before heading home. She is able to help those here with English or French.… read more

Cheri and Viet were very welcoming. I learned a great deal about how they helped rescued horses become healthy. They have many outdoor cats, 8 dogs, several donkeys, a miniature pony called Snowflake and about 30 horses.

I enjoyed learning the routine of how to feed the horses, bring horses to and from their pastures, clean the feed pails and… read more

Kay and Bill picked us up in Lufkin (which is 55 minutes from their place) and brought us to a July 4th barbecue hosted by their church. It was great to meet so many people at once. They were very welcoming and friendly.

Arthur (another worker) and I helped Bill work on tasks inside their new house. We primed and painted posts, urethaned the… read more

Eileen is an awesome worker - no task is too large for her. She takes initiative and follows all rules. If she contacts you to come to your site accept her and you will not be disappointed. We were blessed by her stories and personality. We wish her the best in the future and maybe someday she will return.
