Description
We are two of us at home, my son and I. We live in the country and are slowly creating a sustainable home and way of leaving. My son was born with a brain damage and has a dissability and the most important reason why i want to create this unique place is to help other children develop their abilities through therapy working in the vegetable garden and other different therapies outdoors.
At the moment i need someone as babysitter. This person should have previous experience. Spanish and driving licence will be a plus. Minimum stay of 1 to 6 months. You will have different shifts depending on needs.
I also need someone with gardening skills for general maintenance.
Most of this jobs we do in the farm are very physical. They can be performed by a man or a woman. Everyone will do different tasks depending on strenght and abilities and willing to learn.
Although the place is in the beautifull country side and close to the beach and it is just like a little paradise, if you decide to come to our place, this is not a holiday Camp, you are coming to volunteer, so be aware that you will come to help 5hs a day, 5 days a week. We will do our best to make you feel at home. You wont regret the experience achived in the time you will spend with us.

The thing I love the most of the house is the sunset. Every day I sit outside and enjoy seeing the beautifull scenary, the sun, the clouds, the sea and the sky with all these warm redish colours, unique moments to share with lovely people that appreciate the essential things of life.

The whole farm has the basics of permaculture with the upcoming natural pool which is to be self sufficient.
