Description
Groenendaal is a beautiful, hilly area of the municipality of Hoeilaart, with beautiful old villas and at a 2-minute walk from the vast Forest de Soignes. There I live, together with my two dogs Eity and Kira, in a spacious house surrounded by garden and forest land. To maintain that large garden and the forest, I would like the help of someone who is not necessarily specialised in gardening, but who likes some solid outdoor work.
Indoors, too, there are some clearance tasks on the to-do list. I would at the moment really appreciate also some practical help in housekeeping.
The helper (or helpers), preferably someone who loves dogs, will have his own room, bathroom and toilet.
Groenendaal station is a 10-minute walk away, and the train will take you into the center of Brussels, the European capital, in half an hour. Needless to say, there is plenty to do there.
In the garden, there is work all year round. So when you come has less importance. But it would be helpful if you could stay for two to three weeks. Contact me, and we will find out together what is possible.
Also check out the offer from good friends of mine, under “Nikki & Pol”. We live only 60 kilometres apart and could both use help. Why not combine two hosts, for variety? -
