    Description

    My name is Tania and I am 41 years old. I am an optimistic and cheerful person, very active, autonomous and free. I live in a country house with my 10 year old son. In the past, before becoming a mother, I was lucky enough to travel a lot and volunteer in various projects and locations around the world.

    I am an infant teacher and I have spent a large part of my life committed to free and respectful education. I have started and worked on several alternative schools in nature and now I am starting a new project in my house. I recently bought a beautiful farm with fruit trees of almost 3000 meters where I currently live.

    The house needs a lot of reform and the orchard and garden also require a lot of attention. I need help with the child, with the field and with the works of the house above all. My goal is to have an increasingly self-sufficient and sustainable life.

    I recently had an arm injury and I need rest and rehabilitation for several months. For me it is very difficult to be without doing anything and ask for help. I am a very proactive person and I like working in the fields and rebuilding my house with my hands, but now I have to focus more on other things. I would really appreciate if you come to help me and make my life easier for a while.

    Me llamo Tania y tengo 41 años. Soy una persona optimista y alegre, muy activa, autónoma y libre.
    Vivo en una casa de campo con mi hijo de 10 años.
    En el pasado, antes de ser madre, tuve la suerte de viajar mucho y trabaje de voluntaria en varios proyectos y lugares del mundo.
    Soy maestra de infantil y llevo gran parte de vida comprometida con la educación libre y respetuosa. He iniciado y trabajado un varias escuelas alternativas en la naturaleza y ahora estoy iniciando un proyecto nuevo en mi casa.
    Hace poco compré una bonita finca con frutales de casi 3000 metros dónde actualmente vivo.
    La casa necesita muchas reforma y el huerto y jardín requiere también mucha atención.
    Necesito ayuda con el niño, con el campo y con las obras de la casa sobretodo.
    Mi objetivo es tener una vida cada vez más autosuficiente y sostenible.
    Hace poco he tenido una lesión en el brazo y necesito reposo y rehabilitación por varios meses. Para mi es muy difícil estar sin hacer nada y pedir ayuda. Soy una persona muy proactiva y me gusta el trabajo del campo y reconstruir mi casa con mis manos pero ahora debo centrarme más en otras cosas.
    Agradecería mucho si vienes a ayudarme y hacerme la vida más fácil un tiempo.

    I am looking for a partner or family preferably for tasks that require some physical strength such as: throwing rubble, painting, putting up fencing, building a chicken coop and a tree house, housework, watering the farm with a blanket (ancient irrigation technique), weeding, pick fruit, prune trees, assemble furniture. She also helps with the care of children on vacation: taking them to the river or on excursions, cooking and taking care of their needs. I prefer people with some knowledge or experience in masonry, plumbing, carpentry, electricity or a desire to learn. Collaboration would be 5 days a week from Monday to Friday, preferably 5 hours a day.

    At this moment I offer camping accommodation, open terrace or best if you come with a caravan or camper. There is a shared bathroom but the next step will be to set up a dry toilet for the exclusive use of volunteers. There is a kitchen with the basics for the exclusive use of volunteers. You can bring your own tent or caravan. We are on a beautiful farm with fruit trees and a garden, and chickens. The climate is very friendly (except July and August which is very hot) The farm is very well connected, 15 minutes walk from the center of Coín and very close to the bus stop, health center, bars and shops but in the countryside in a very quiet and beautiful area.

    Puedes traer tu propia tienda de campaña o caravana.
    Estamos en una bonita finca con frutales y huerto, y gallinas. El clima es.muy amable (menos julio y agosto que es muy caluroso)

    La finca está muy bien comunicada, a 15 minutos andando del centro de Coín y muy cerca de la parada del autobús, centro de salud, bares y tiendas pero en el campo en una zona muy tranquila y bonita.
