Description
============
We are currently looking for helpers :)
============
We are a German family of 4-11 (2 parents, 2 kids, 1 aupair from Germany, a Dachshund, one Viszla, a Spanish farm dog, and 3 horses, and a foal!!!) living in rural Andalucia outside Sotogrande. There are also 25 chickens so you get fresh eggs.
We are fun and open minded and enjoy getting to know and supporting people! We are chaotic and hyperactive, too, so ideally you can cope with our pace and enjoy helping us stay relaxed by taking some tasks off our hands.
I work as an energy healer and my husband is a property developer.

What else ...
We are in the middle of nowhere but very close by car to vibrant international Sotogrande. You can have beautiful country walks and we are happy to lend a car if you drive. The beach is 10 mins drive away.
I would say that this is for you if you want a little retreat to the country side. There is a lot of space (30.000m2). Our current workawayer is a musician, and I feel like this would be perfect for someone creative because you have a lot of time to yourself during the day. You could make this a writing retreat for instance, enjoy the countryside, hang out with our animals, and channel the grounding energy for being creative.
We have very fun creative children who love to play and do art etc. This is for you if you want to be part of the family. Not so ideal if you need city life or a really quiet organised household.
