I’ve taught English in several different places, made a productive garden out of a rubbish heap and managed a house, three children and a business as a single parent! So I’m pretty flexible, dynamic and organised as well as very practical in everyday matters such as feeding everyone, fixing malfunctioning washing machines and managing pets and children. I’ve also done a lot of petsitting, looking after chickens, rabbits,cats ( even a snake) and some very boisterous dogs- love going on daily walks with dogs!I have worked a lot with children and young people.
Age
70
What else ...
Interested in lots of things,especially local history ,politics,culture, wildlife and current affairs.After a winter in Canary Islands I am looking forward to working in sustainable projects/ learning more about growing plants & vegetables in different conditions. Generally I find about 2-3 weeks on a project is best for me.
