Hello, I am Ben. On have a small country-estate 3 km from the Atlantic coast near Sintra,Portugal, I rent 8 selfcatering units to tourists. Big wild romantic garden, swimmingpool, animals. I live here with my boyfriend Manuel ( ..& 2 dogs&6 cats...) but he has a job somewhere else during the day. Most of the things I do alone, for several tasks I work with locals (cleaning, garden-help etc.). But it means that I am quite house-bound and leaving the place is difficult, even for shopping. Somebody here so that I can go out to do things would be a big releaf. Thats why I am looking for help during the months june-september. Our guests are from all kind of nationalities. Mostly families with kids.

As we are very popular, you will meet a lot of different people, with different background.
It is not a full time job, so enough possebility to explore this great region, there ia a lot to see /do &Lisbon is nearby or going to the beach from time to time (surfing/bodyboarding).
Help with all kind of odd jobs& repairs. Taking care of the animals (sheep,chicken,dogs, cats) watering the garden, keep the swimmingpool area tidy. Looking for someone to assisst when I go out shopping, some tasks show guests round and provide them info
There is always something to do. As we live quite isolated, a driverslicence is essential.
