Description
Me, my husband and our youngest daughter have recently moved to France in the Dordogne area and are looking for general help around the property. The areas needed are the garden and general other chores to possibly include painting and maintaining outdoor areas. We have various animals too which always need feeding and clening etc. The area we live in is a beautiful countryside environment steeped in history.
We are outgoing, sociable people and really enjoy learning about other cultures.

There is allsorts of tasks need doing around the property including caring for the animals (hens, chicks, lambs and rabbits). Also, general maintenance of the property to include painting, gardening and we are also currently in the process of putting together a social area at the rear of the house which will eventually have a pergola and barbeque area so, maybe carpentry skills may be beneficial? It is just all the normal day to day chores of keeping a property clean and tidy etc.
Accommodation
Workawayers will stay in the house with us in a private bedroom so, time alone is no problem. I will cook all the meals but would welcome an insight into different cuisines!

We are a 10 minute walk from the nearest medieval village which has lots of interesting events happening throughout the year especially in the summer. Arts and crafts are very popular around here and of course, lots of chateaux!
