Description
I'm Amandine, I'm building an animal sanctuary on my farm while I run my business from home. It's me and 3 cats, 4 donkeys (soon to be 5), one horse, 9 chickens, 12 ducks, 9 geese, 1 goat and lots of land. We're starting from scratch so there's a lot of varied tasks to do on the farm, from the house to renovate, to gardening, promoting the sanctuary for donations, weeding, picking up litter, general maintenance, and more. It's a beautiful property on a hill surrounded by nature and the absolute dream for animal lovers.
In February we need help with (5 hours a day 5 days a week):
- general cleaning of the farm
- gardening
- content marketing support to spread the word about the sanctuary
- facilities improvement (DIY lovers preferred as this is NOT my area of expertise)
- animal care (feeding, cuddling, and cleaning their areas) **No more availability in February, I expect we'll need the same sort of support in April**
In March we need help with (5 hours a day 5 days a week):
- priority: house renovations, including floors, walls, painting, assembling and more
- content marketing support to spread the word about the sanctuary
- general cleaning of the farm
- gardening
- facilities improvement (DIY lovers preferred as this is NOT my area of expertise)

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
working with animals, learning life on the farm, building a sanctuary, living in nature surrounded by animals, without the noise of the city. I'm also a Tea Alchemist specializing in hemp & cannabis. the big of the work on the house will be supervised by an expert so there's also potential to learn a lot (I know I will)

Learning as much Spanish as I can, and can speak French and/or English in exchangeAccommodation
double room in the house I stay in with my 3 cats, on the farm (it's a wooden chalet). Shared kitchen and living area., your own bathroom. I work from home. Groceries provided for all meals, we can discuss meal arrangements as well (who cooks etc).
I'm happy to provide food that people can cook themselves (I don't have a regular schedule). Some evening meals can be shared if that works for everyone.What else ...
we are located 10 mins from Turis and 35 minutes drive from Valencia. There's a bus from Valencia to Turis. Ideally you have a car as the farm is quite remote - if you are happy to stay at the farm then this is not a problem. I also go to the village twice a week for Spanish classes so can take you with me or drop you off at the bus stop if you want to go into Valencia.
