Description

Hello! My name’s Katie and I’m originally from a village in Scotland, but have been living in Berlin for the past 2.5 years. Having lived and worked in London for 6 years before that, it’s so important to me to escape to the wilderness at every chance I get so that I can stay sane and soak up the beauty and peace of the natural world (and go back to my roots).

To me, there is no better feeling than being (slightly) rained on on the side of a mountain. Hiking is my favourite pastime, and I’m a keen amateur runner, boxer and will give any sport a go.

I’m currently on a 3 month sabbatical from my job (reminding myself there is more to life than working long days staring at a laptop!) and spending 2 of those months in New Zealand, travelling, hiking and getting my hands dirty however possible!

More details about your skills

In short: I’m a fast learner. I’m up for anything and will pick it up super quickly! Try me…

I’m physically fit, and interested in outdoor building/painting/gardening/etc if the weather allows (I want to be very tired by the end of the day!) as well as indoor help cleaning/cooking/childcare and what not.

I spent many years in my teens and early twenties as a babysitter and absolutely love hanging out with & taking care of children.

I also spent many years working in both retail & restaurant hospitality and enjoy meeting and talking to anyone (and can serve a nice coffee/ fold a nice shirt 😉).

I’m a brand/marketing/advertising professional with over 9 years experience in my “real” life, so if I can help your small business in any way I’d be delighted!
