About Liga Smite

I grew up on a farm in Latvia and my family had a farm with cows, pigs, chickens as well as grew different vegetables for commercial sale. Later on we had strawberry fields and were growing strawberries for sales. I am used to physical outdoor work and I am not afraid to get my hands (and not only) dirty. I am a hands-on person with strong work ethics. I know how to do my job well. I also love to be surrounded by animals and take care of them. I have a strong sense of empathy, attention to details which helps me to notice when an animal/pet is not feeling good. I would love to work on a farm as I miss being in contact with animals and I want to experience farm work again. I am a very quick learner and can take on new responsibilities and skills very fast! I am based in Christchurch but willing to relocate. Looking for a job with accommodation!
