Description
My daughter and I live in Orgiva, a beautiful part of the Alpujarras with our 5 dogs and 2 cats — it is paradise and a melting pot of cultures, nationalities, sights, and smells! A thriving community of hippies, off-grid permaculture enthusiasts, festival lovers, all co-existing alongside Spanish locals and in a traditional Spanish culture - it's unique! Our land is abundant with olive trees, fruit trees, a swimming pool, lots of animals, and the most amazing scenery!
I work from home for a personal growth organisation called The Journey - I've been with them for over 20 years and love it passionately! COVID made us switch from live to online workshops, and now I get the chance to support this work globally for thousands of people to help them change their lives!

Help
We are looking for 1 or 2 people who can help in a variety of ways - not necessarily all at the same time - pick your preference!
Either with general gardening, such as strimming, weeding, pruning, etc. There are also projects such as creating a cactus garden, which involves weeding and laying the foundation for the cactus (plastic & sand/grit) plus many other little things!
Also open to someone who might like cooking or general tidying up the patio & terrace areas, pool cleaning, and generally keeping things tidy.
Or someone who is good at painting, as the house needs to be refreshed inside & out!
Prefer someone who can use their initiative and work solo or with another workawayer!

Accommodation
This completely self-contained, excellent-quality wooden casita has one bedroom with two Single beds, an en-suite shower room, a living room, and a fully equipped kitchen. It is separate from the main house, so you will feel very private!
I will provide you with food in your casita for you to prepare your own breakfast & lunches, as I will be busy with school runs and work. We can discuss if you prefer to eat alone or join us for the evening meals. Either way, I will provide the food also.
What else ...
It is a 20-minute walk into the town where you have all amenities available. Buses also between Motril & Granada to Orgiva.
We prefer vegetarian food only, and please only non-smokers (this is non-negotiable).
