Description

Hi!

My name's Helena and I'm 29yrs old from Brighton in the UK. I've moved to New Zealand on a working holiday visa and I'm keen to see as much of the country as possible, whilst learning all about local culture.
I'm a qualified social worker, having worked mainly in mental health, and I'm currently waiting on my New Zealand social work qualification so I can practice over here!

I have a lot of experience in hospitality, working with different people and know what it's like to get stuck into some of the less appealing jobs!

I'm easy going, sociable and respectful of others. I love sharing stories with host families and always appreciate recommendations for the local area.

I have experience in caring for children, gardening/DIY, cleaning, and animal care. I'm always keen to learn new skills and to share my knowledge with others as well!
