Description
My name is Tamsin, I am English, 49 years old and live in a quiet rural village, with my two dogs and a cat. I am a potter, yoga teacher and coach. The house was a yoga retreat but now my private home where I teach yoga classes in French.
The location is fairly remote, with no village shop or transport links and equal distance between Toulouse and Bordeaux. Ideal for self-motivated creatives, nature lovers or remote workers.
I'm looking for practical help in the garden and house. I need support with general maintenance and cleaning. The house is 200m2 and the garden 5000m2 and together, too much for me to manage. The tasks are not difficult but you must have experience and a good work ethic as I don't have time to work alongside helpers.
YOUR APPLICATION: Please keep it to 100 words max
I need to know :
1) The dates you are available
2) Your specific skills that match my project needs
3) 3 things that describe who you are
NB
* 2 Yoga classes per week are available in French for free
* This is not a paid position but an exchange of energy. I am respectful and generous with my time and space.
* No dogs accepted - more would be too much :-)
* In June I will teach an online bi-lingual 40-day yoga challenge from 5-7am every day and you are welcome to join.

Je m'appelle Tamsin, je suis anglaise, j'ai 49 ans et je vis dans un village rural tranquille, avec mes deux chiens et un chat. Je suis potière, professeur de yoga et coach. La maison était une retraite de yoga, mais c'est maintenant ma maison privée où je donne des cours de yoga en français.
L'endroit est assez isolé, sans magasin ni moyens de transport, à égale distance de Toulouse et de Bordeaux. Idéal pour les créatifs motivés, les amoureux de la nature ou les travailleurs à distance.
Je cherche une aide pratique pour le jardin et la maison. J'ai besoin d'aide pour l'entretien général et le nettoyage. La maison fait 200m2 et le jardin 5000m2 et ensemble, c'est trop pour moi. Les tâches ne sont pas difficiles mais vous devez avoir de l'expérience et une bonne éthique de travail car je n'ai pas le temps de travailler avec des aides.

J'ai besoin de connaître :

What else ...
It's an isolated place, very little opportunity to be independent and visit the surrounding area without me, so it suits someone who develops ideas, works online and is happy in the quiet. I go out twice a week to the market, to meet friends, but it's very quiet.
C'est un endroit isolé, très peu de possibilités d'être indépendant et de visiter les environs sans moi, ce qui convient donc à quelqu'un qui développe des idées, qui travaille en ligne et qui est heureux dans le calme. Je sors deux fois par semaine au marché, pour rencontrer des amis, mais c'est très calme.
