About Me

I am a single mother of an 11 year old boy. We moved to Edinburgh from Greece in 2017.

We are friendly, considerate, respectful, and caring. I play West African drums (not in your house!), and I like nature, music, film, arts... I am a playwork professional and trully enjoy being around and learning from children. We do not care about race, sexual orientation, religion, or any of those stuff. We only care to be with nice people around us.

We live in a 2-bed flat in Edinburgh that can accommodate an extra child and 2 adults. It is a house free of alcohol, drugs, and smoke. However, I do vape, and I always have a couple of zero alcohol beers in the fridge :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I am a playworker, so yes, I can help with amazing childminding. I can teach djembe/dundun to adults (beginners/intermediate, I am no pro). I do not babysit adults :).

Currently expanding our CS network in the area and hopefully we could have some good events going on, like wild camping trips, meetups, cycling-picnic days, family days with activities...

What I Can Share with Hosts

Childcare (how cool is that?), African drums lessons (yes, we can use pots and buckets), Greek vegetarian cooking, can provide some groceries in exchange for your hospitality... Anyway I can be helpful 😌
