Description
*****House sitter needed from 26 December 2025 for one week — with the possibility to stay on after I return*****
I am a Registered Nurse from Liverpool, and have lived in Spain for 6 years now. I'm chilled, happy and friendly.
Sometimes I work away from home, you should be comfortable to be alone for up to 2 weeks at a time.
I offer meals or food: choice of Vegan, Vegetarian or Organic Meat. I can cook or you can cook and use anything in the fridge.
I'm not sure if I can cater for you if you have allergies, medical contraindications or intolerances. Let's talk about it though.
I don’t smoke, drink or take drugs. It's ok if you smoke (on the terrace).
Happy to discuss you coming to stay, so get in touch.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Salobreña is a coastal town in Granada. It’s lively in the summer and quiet in the winter.
The house is just a 5-minute walk from the beach and town centre.
You can enjoy peace and quiet or immerse yourself in local Spanish life. There is a cultural centre and a library nearby, with plenty of cafés, bars, supermarkets, and social events.
The town has weekly markets, rastros, and a monthly eco-market.
Granada, Málaga, and Almería are all easy to reach by bus.
I also have a car and can take you to nearby places with a little notice.
When I’m home, I often travel to Órgiva for yoga.
Help
December '25-the house is an ongoing project, I am looking for people to do light DIY, keep place clean, organising cupboards/draws, looking after plants, sweeping, moving light furniture, drilling, putting up shelves, curtain poles, moving furniture.
You will contribute up to 5 hours a day, for 5 days.

The house is in a quiet area of town, 5 mins walk to the beach with a park next door. It's 15 minute walk to the bus stop with routes to Granada, Málaga, and Almería.
