Description

I am living on the beautiful Andalucian coast with my two kids (12 and 14) that are both easy going and bilingual. The area we live in is a surfers paradise and is close to many local tourist towns that you could visit and explore. We have a house with 3 apartments that we are renting to tourists where there is always help needed. Caños de Meca is a little village at the Costa de la Luz, for anyone who wants to relax and enjoy nature and the local Spanish culture. It would be great if you had some skills in gardenwork, maintenance, computer skills or artistic flair. Playing piano or violin would be great for my daughter! We are happy to have couples.

Work

Most of the work I need doing is gardenwork. I would also prefer someone staying who likes kids as they often like to play games and theatre with the workawayers, also people playing an instrument are more then welcome (my daughter is beginner in piano and violin, my other daughter is beginner in playing the guitar)! On the odd occasion, it would be nice to have someone helping me in the house with cleaning, washing e.t.c. Along with jobs that need doing around the property, I am looking at doing some extensions to the house so it would be excellent if someone with carpentry, electrical or building skills could help us out. However, if you have none of these skills we are more than happy to find something to accommodate you.

I have quite a mixture of work to offer so not only would you be collaborating with me and my kids a fair bit, but if you had the ability to work independently when required this would be fantastic!

In summer (July, august) I am looking for a couple to take care of my houses while I am away. If you have maintenance skills, let me know. The houses are run by solar energy so you should have a hand for that. You can stay in a little room with attached bathroom, kitchen outside. You should like parties, there are lot's in summer...

Languages spoken

English ,Spanish, German

Accommodation

In winter you can have one of the apartments that we rent out to tourists. In summer I can offer a basic little room with an independent bathroom, that is adjoined to the tourist accommodation.

What else ...

We can also provide Wifi.
