Description
Come help our family of five on our 3 hectares at the coast in the western Algarve.
We have three children, a newborn, 2 year old and 5 year old, 3 big dogs, 1 cat and 3 chickens.
We live in a relaxed 4 bedroom villa on 3 hectares of land on the coast in the beautiful western Algarve. We are 10 mins from Lagos and 3 mins to the beach.
We need help with general maintenance around the house and on the land but we mainly need help with housekeeping, cooking and babysitting at the moment.
Over the next few months we will be landscaping an area around our house and creating a fun garden/play area for our young children. We are also building an outdoor bar so people with general DIY, building, carpentry, landscaping or gardening skills are welcome.
