    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.

    What else ...

    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)
    We like the quietness, walking and talking. TV is not the main focus.
