Description
Hi, I'm an active 60er, living on the belgium coast in beautiful De Haan.
I need some help in the garden and indoors for do-it-yourself jobs. I can't do it all, because of artrosis. Besides that, my partner Lydia needs some help in the house or driving to appointments.
We would like a Workawayer from at least 40 years old, capable to drive with automatic gear.
We have a large bedroom with wooden floor for hosts. The bathroom is opposite the bedroom.
We have a very gentle 11 year old indoor cat. Our doggy Tiki (nearly 15 years) passed away in August.Types of help and learning opportunities

Spare time is no waste time: there are many attractions on the coast, and you're in the vicinity of Bruges and Ostend. Public transport is well organised. Cycling is ideal (flat space all around)
