Description
Hey you lovely people :)
I'm Jen, born and raised in Berlin / Germany and super excited to explore different cultures and connect on a deep level with people from all over the world. :)
I started traveling and doing Workaways in 2018, went back home when Covid hit and now I'm on the road again.
I'm a socialworker and spent more than a decade nursing adults with special needs in residential groups. I've always been passioned about caring for people and empowering them in their daily lives.
I'm also enthusiastic about animals - especially chickens, they're just the best - nature and the well-being of our environment. I'd love to work on a little farm, taking care of animals, doing any kind of cleaning, gardening and general maintanence.
I'm hard working, like getting my hands dirty, enjoy working as a team but also capable of getting tasks done on my own. :)

More details about your skills
I'm a social worker and have lots of experiences in caring for mentally, psychologically and physically handicapped people.
As a Foster-care-child I'v always been surrounded by traumatised, abused babys and toddlers and learned how to handle their wounds and needs at a very young age.
In 2017 I started to rent out a room in my apartment frequently, so I'm used to hosting and designing a comfy, clean home for my guests to enjoy their trip.
Pre-Covid I had the chance to do 4 wonderful workaways in 3 different countrys, lived with a local family in Bali for a month, spend three month in Malaysia working in a secondhandstore with around 60 animals on the property and learned a lot about cultures, lifestyles and values miles away from home.
Debarking logs, pruning trees, milking goats, nursing pigs and chickens and cleaning / improving their stables are just a few of all the things I did. I learned to serve costumers and took care of dogs, cats, pigs, goats, geese, turkeys, chickens, ducks and their babys and just absolutely loved it :)
Age
39
What else ...
Unlike most people I enjoy cleaning, decluttering, organising things, doing dishes and laundry. :D It's weird, but soooo beneficial. :) So, if you have a space in your house that needs some attention: I'll sparkle it up. :)

Jennie is an incredibly kind and inspiring person and I loved staying with her and Rosie for almost 3 weeks in beautiful New Plymouth. :) Her house and garden are absolutely stunning and I had the greatest time getting my hands dirty while weeding, cleaning the guesthouse, clearing cupboards, etc. Jennie took me to the most amazing spots and… read more

Jen was a super star! She was so giving to the care of all the animals especially Peanut the pig whom she nursed back to good health as she was suffering from pneumonia. She loved gardening and cooking and was so helpful around the farm. Her smile and humour made her such a delight to have around it was a real pleasure to host her. She made a huge… read more

Wow! :) I had the most amazing time at Kays beautiful farm and fell in love with all the animals straight away. :D Taking care of Peanut was an honur. A pig-lady who got sick just a few days before I arrived at Kays. She wasn't able to move anymore, couldn't stand on her feet, hardly eat on her own. I fed her every few hours by hand, kept her… read more

Eli and David are such amazing and lovely people and I couldn't be any happier about having my first workaway experience with them. :) I felt warmly welcome to their family from the very first moment and I'm still overwhelmed by all the things I've learned during my 3-weeks-stay. They put a lot of effort into teaching me how to milk the goats,… read more

Jen has been our first workawayer and it was a great experience! Although we have worked with many other volunteers before, Jen was a special one... She was always helpful in any task to do! She is flexible, never complained, she has a joyful personality and she was part of the family as if she has always been here before. Jen takes every job with… read more
