    Description

    I live in the hills above Saint Leu, at an altitude of 500 metres, 15 minutes from the coast, in a house with what I consider to be a large garden; it’s a bit out of the way but very easy to get to.
    I often need help with maintaining my outdoor space,
    as well as with odd jobs around the house, such as painting and applying wood stain, and other small DIY tasks.
    I live with some very affectionate dogs and chickens, and I’m surrounded by plants.
    I tend to enjoy company; my motto is: Two are stronger than one. You’ll have a single room with a shared bathroom and kitchen.
    I’ve spent more time here than in mainland France.
    I don’t know everything about Réunion, but I’ll be happy to share what I do know.
    I love nature, the forest, peace and quiet, and painting. A collaborative mural? Why not.
    The arrangements can be finalised together, but I’m leaning towards working mornings from 8.00 am to 12.30 pm and free afternoons, unless the tasks we’ve started require us to work longer. I’m open to working out a flexible schedule.
    As the idea is to share, I suggest we have lunch together. We could prepare it together or take turns – again, nothing is set in stone. Food will also be provided for breakfast and dinner.
    Open Monday to Sunday, with weekends off.
    I look forward to meeting you and sharing this experience.

    Un J’habite dans les hauts de Saint Leu à 500 mètres d’altitude à 15 mn du littoral dans une maison avec un jardin grand à mes yeux et un peu excentrée mais très accessible.
    J’ai souvent besoin d’aide pour l’entretien de mon espace extérieur
    ainsi que pour des travaux de rafraîchissement de la maison comme des peintures et des lazures ainsi que des petits bricolages.
    Je vis avec des chiens très affectueux et des poules , je suis entourée de plantes .
    J’aurais tendance à apprécier la compagnie, ma devise : À deux on est plus fort. Vous aurez une chambre individuelle avec salle de bain et cuisine communes.
    J’ai passé plus de temps ici qu’en Métropole
    Je ne connais pas tout de la réunion mais je partagerai avec joie ce que je sais.
    J’aime la nature la forêt le calme et la peinture. Une fresque à quatre mains pourquoi pas.
    Les conditions d’accueil sont à affiner ensemble mais je penche pour les matinées travaillées 8h00/12h30 et les après midi libres mise à part si les taches commencées nécessitent des prolongations. Je suis ouverte à élaboration d’un planning modulable.
    L’idée étant de partager je propose le repas de midi en commun . Sa préparation pourra être effectué ensemble ou de manière alternée , là encore rien de figer. et une mise à disposition de nourriture pour le petit déjeuner et le repas du soir.
    Accueil du lundi au dimanche avec le week end libre.
    Au plaisir de vous rencontrer et de partager .
