Experienced homemaker/gardener looking for caretaking position.
Late 20s female, experienced in organic farming, vegetable and herb, perennial, and container gardening. Excellent cook and baker. Experience with most animals. Can do many general building/maintenance chores: painting, use of hand tools, light masonry, split fire wood, etc. Willing to do all aspects of home-care, including cooking and cleaning for seasonal residents, as well as any other sort of work, such as errands, office, artist or writer support, etc.
Will graduate college with high honors in 2010. Looking to continue to work in non-profits to establish educational gardens, land trusts, and cooperative fisheries that encourage stewardship and sustainable food systems. I need a work/trade situation for room and board to allow me to pursue this community work which generally pays so poorly. I have no pets, am a non-smoker, rarely drink alcohol. I have a 3-year-old son who is respectful and good-natured. Prefer to stay in the Portland or Brunswick area, but would consider anywhere in Maine or eastern-New Hampshire if the situation is ideal. Many local personal, professional, and academic references. Resume available on request.
- Location: Maine to eastern-N.H.
