Description
I am Andrea, a 53-year young woman from Budapest. I am a coach; my job and passion are to support people's personal development. For the past 30 years, I have raised my children (they currently live and study abroad), took care of my homes, my gardens, and my clients. I am hard-working and active; I can work well independently, I'm a master of finding tasks and taking care of others. What I do, I like to do carefully and well. I love to work in the garden, we have now a little garden on the 5th floor in Budapest, which is a metropolis. I am open minded for everything, I am honest, easy-going, hardworking, polite, I have a positive attitude towards life.
I have a lot of experiences in all tasks in and around the house. In recent years I have visited the island of Elba, the Netherlands, Germany, Spain and the largest island of Azores. I did garden work (weeding, planting), looked after children, helped with cleaning and ironing, cooked lunch and dinner every day. I did all these activities with pleasure (yes, I like to weed and yes, I like to clean), and I learned a lot about myself and other cultures. I speak German fluently, English intermediate and spanish at beginner level.
Most of the time, we travel together with my husband (see his introduction below), who is very good at gardening (he prunes trees beautifully) and can install and build almost everything. Together, we can help you practically in all the task in and around the house, with your children an pets.

I started working as a software developer when I was young, then I was a top manager for a long time, and now I am a life, business and team, as well as family and relationship coach and mentor. Because it has always been important to me to get the most out of what I do and for it to have value for others, so I like to support others in shaping their lives. I love nature, animals, children, and open, honest people who can respect each other and life, with whom it is good to connect. It really motivates me when I can help. It is a fact that, although I have several degrees, I am an intellectual person, but I also love things with my hands, so I like to garden, to make and repair things with my own hands, so that we can get everything that is hidden in the garden and our environment. And of course I'm the same with flavors, so I also like to cook. It is true that I am mostly good at preparing traditional Hungarian dishes, but I am very good at them. My Gulash-soup, for example, is loved everywhere.
Recently, my wife and I have been visiting places in Europe where we find people and environments similar to our values. We have already been to Holland, where we mainly dealt with small fairy children, sometimes we cooked, gardened, cleaned, and filled an office building with plants to the delight of the colleagues. And we were on the island of Elba, where we helped with gardening, and also on the island of Sao Miguel in the Azores, where we supported the early spring renewal of a beautiful large garden. And of course, in addition to our conscientious helping work, we tried to explore the surroundings, nature, and cultures everywhere. And of course I cooked Gulash-soup everywhere.

I spent 8 weeks with Christina and Narayan, enjoyed every minute. Both are open, kind people, their house is full of fun, kindness and laughter. I loved the oranges in the garden, the sunshine on the terrace, being greeted with a smile every day, and grandma's paella, which is the best in the world. Christina always took care of me, I learned a… read more

From mid-January we spent more than a month on the island of Sao Miguel at Beatrice and Agnes. We were given one of their guesthouses as accommodation, with a beautiful view of the ocean, the place itself was unforgettable. Basically, we came to help them with the gardening and to explore the island of Sao Miguel. The island is beautiful, we… read more rented a car and visited its most beautiful sights over two weekends, which luckily the weather allowed us to do. Otherwise, the weather was hectic and unpredictable (that's how it is in winter), we were treated to thousands of never experienced versions and degrees of wind and rain before. We were deeply impressed by the surroundings and nature itself, and we are very happy that we were able to discover this island.

We stayed in one of Agnes and Beatrice's clean, beautiful and cozy holiday houses. Agnes and Beatrice were very caring hosts, we always felt that all our needs and wishes were important to them, they made sure that we were comfortable. Agnes and Beatrice's beautiful little paradise, was an island of peace, silence and beauty for us. The garden was not a neglected one, they just asked us for help with the spring gardening work: weeding, pruning trees, planting. It was a pleasure for us to watch the birds or immerse ourselves in the beauty of the ocean while we worked. László was happy to make some repairs and crafts to make it even more beautiful. It's a good feeling that we managed to do a lot of useful things in the garden and around the house.

We are particularly grateful to meet Beatrice and Agnes. We have often experienced that they are very grateful for our help and that they recognize the value of our help. However, it is even more important for us that we have held the two truly loving ladies deep in our hearts. We received so much attention, kindness and love during our stay with them, so it was difficult to say goodbye to them.

We highly recommend Agnes and Beatrice to anyone who wants to spend a few unforgettable weeks in a beautiful place with warm-hearted, friendly and happy people (not forgetting the two sweet dogs, Ginger and Ludwig), who likes to be surrounded by a beautiful, peaceful garden and the view of the ocean in the middle of nature.

You are wonderful people, dear Beatrice and Agnes, meeting you was an unforgettable experience for us, we will never forget you. (Maybe we'll even come back one day?) Thank you for your trust, for the delicious sweets, for the lovely trip, for the special dinners (Beatrice cooks very well, Agnes makes delicious cakes), and for everything. And you even enjoyed our Gulyásleves! With love: Andrea and László

Andrea and Laszlo - the best decision we could have ever made.

They stayed with us from 10 January to 15 February.
First they cut back all the hydrangeas. Then Laszlo pruned the trees (his speciality) and I weeded with Andrea for sowing.
Andrea is very knowledgeable about plants and flowers, which was an enrichment for me.

Laszlo can simply do… read more
