I am a widow with my daughter helping me out at the moment, along with our much loved Red Setter. Living in a stunning, rural part of south west Wales near the Towy Valley in Carmarthenshire, our smallholding of 10 acres is set in a peaceful and attractive area, with no immediate neighbors. We are needing help tidying up the house, fields and garden. Work needing to be done includes painting inside the house, mowing grass in garden, mending fences and weeding in fields. The smallholding is bordered on one side by woodland and a stream at the bottom of our land so there is plenty of opportunity to enjoy the copious wildlife. We often watch red kites hovering above our fields. We can see foxes, badgers and sometimes glimpse a deer, sometimes we see hedgehogs, rabbits and polecats, hear geese flying overhead and tawny and barn owls calling through the night. We have kept our fields organic and natural so there is an ever changing abundance of plants and wild flowers. Our 5 ponies graze the fields. The local attractions include national botanical gardens, Aberglasney gardens, a deer park, Dinefwr house national trust property and several castles. 3 miles from the charming country town of Llandeilo and 13 miles from the larger market town of Carmarthen.

My husband and I have two small children and live on a beautiful ranch in BC's Cariboo region. The ranch is located 15 minutes away from the small community of Big Lake and 45 mins away from the larger community of Williams Lake (20,000 pop). We live on a chain of lakes in a scenic valley. Leisure activities include canoeing, biking, hiking, kayaking, birding, fishing, horse riding (if experienced), and swimming. We are focused on organic food production. We have a 50 foot green house and 3 large gardens that need to be planted, manged, harvested and preserved in 2014. In 2013 we hosted 5 lovely couples from April to October. We really enjoyed getting to know all of them and still keep in touch with most of them. This summer the boys will be 2 and 4. We also have a couple construction projects happening so anyone with building skills and childcare experience would be wonderful. In saying that, all of our helpers have had different strengths and the good thing about living on the ranch is that there is work for every skill set!
