Description
Hi, my name is Marissa and I live with my husband Ben in beautiful Spain, about 20 kilometers from Valencia. We bought the house 3 years ago and although it's already gorgeous it does need some extra love to become our paradise! We have a lovely swimming pool and space for a beautiful garden.

Help
We are looking for help for our garden and help around the house. There is always something to do. In the near future I need to get started at my vagetables garden. We will also build a new construction for a lift to the garden below and parts of the house have to be painted.
We are also looking for someone who speaks native Spanish and can teach us.

The only critique is that they should say sooner if something is not to their liking. Then maybe I could have changed something.
But I'm glad they where here and I look back on a good time.
