Description
Hello, my name is Maria Luiza (Malu) and I'm 27.
I'm a nutritionist (graduated at University of Sao Paulo in 2021) and post graduated in Orthomolecular Nutrition. I work with clinical nutrition since then. Also, i work with bodywork: zenhtai shiatsu, biodynamic massage, and lomi lomi. Here in Australia I started doing some disability support work as well, and I've been loving it :)
Travelling is my passion! I've been to Australia when i was 14, for 3 months. Then, i started traveling around Brasil with my backpack every holiday i could, and so i developed a lot of maturity, responsability, organization, and dealing with people/ community skills. I love to learn about other cultures and being able to help people. In 2017 I did my first subscription to Workaway, and i worked in Lima, Cusco and Atacama while i was traveling around South America for 3 months. Here in Australia I lived in a work exchange arrangment for nearly 1 year, and it was an amazing experience.
My family is kinda big, i'm the youngest of 4 brothers, and they are all 20 years older than me. All of them are married and with children, so I'm always the babysitter for my nieces and nephews, because i love kids and spending time with them.
I have a lot of experience with food and cooking, and I can teach about nutrition and health, and also help people organize their personal diet and habits.
Apart from that, I can offer cleaning and household work, dogsitting, and babysitting.
I do have a job and that keeps me busy for a couple of days a week, and Im looking for a workaway opportunity to mix with my current job :)

I have 5 nephews (from ages 7 to 12), and I always help my sisters with them, by babysitting. I love cooking, specially vegetarian or vegan recipes. I can help with tourists (I'm very communicative and extrovertid) and teach language practise - portuguese, english and spanish - (I've participated on a volunteer project of teaching english in a needy community in São Paulo - brazil). Other skills, as helping in the house (cleaning, shopping) and art projects are suitable for me too. I don't have experience with farming ou building, but I would love to learn about it and help.
