  Description

  Hi! We’re a patchwork family living on a peaceful finca in the center of Mallorca with our children, animals and a big outdoor area that always needs some love and maintenance.
  
  We’re looking for someone practical and motivated who enjoys working outside and doesn’t mind getting their hands dirty. The main tasks would be garden tasks : cutting back plants, trimming bushes into shape, clearing weeds and helping us keep the land tidy and create something beautiful.
  
  All tools and equipment are already available — we mainly need an extra pair of hands and someone who enjoys being active and outdoors.
  
  About us:
  We’re relaxed, honest and family-oriented people who appreciate reliability, good communication and a positive atmosphere. Life here is lively because of the kids, but also very peaceful and surrounded by nature. We have cats and chickens, so animal lovers are very welcome.
  
  In exchange, we offer accommodation, meals and the chance to experience authentic island life away from the tourist areas. Depending on the season, there’s plenty of time to explore beaches, markets, mountains and the beautiful villages of Mallorca.
  
  We’re happy to host respectful, independent people who enjoy simple family life, nature and outdoor projects. German, English or Spanish are all fine for communication.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  Living with us means experiencing everyday family life on Mallorca beyond the typical tourist side of the island.
  
  We’re a German-speaking patchwork family with children, animals and a busy but warm home environment. Our daily life is a mix of German and Spanish culture, island life, family routines, outdoor living and lots of improvising around finca life.
  
  We enjoy sharing meals, conversations, local recommendations and the slower rhythm of life in the countryside. Depending on the season, there are village festivals, local markets, beaches, hiking spots and traditional Mallorcan culture to discover.
  
  If you’re interested, you can also practice German, English or some Spanish with us. We’re happy to exchange experiences, stories and different ways of life, and we enjoy meeting open-minded people from different countries.
  
  Our home is probably best suited for someone who enjoys authentic family life, nature, animals and a more relaxed, non-touristic experience of Mallorca.

  Help

  We’re mainly looking for help with outdoor maintenance around our finca in Mallorca.
  
  Tasks include:
  
  * cutting back plants and overgrown areas
  * trimming bushes and small trees
  * removing weeds
  * general garden and land maintenance
  * occasional small outdoor projects if you enjoy practical tasks
  
  The work is physical but straightforward, and all tools/equipment are provided. Experience with gardening or outdoor maintenance is definitely helpful, but motivation and reliability are more important than professional skills.
  
  We usually prefer around 4–5 hours of help per day, 5 days a week, with enough free time to relax or explore the island.
  
  It would be great if you:
  
  * enjoy working outdoors
  * are independent and proactive
  * don’t mind family life and animals around you
  * can work carefully and safely with garden tools
  
  We’re looking for someone easygoing who fits well into a relaxed family environment and enjoys nature and practical work.

  Accommodation

  We offer a private guest house on our finca in Mallorca.
  
  The accommodation consists of one cozy room with:
  
  * air conditioning
  * heating
  * WiFi
  * a private bathroom with toilet, sink and shower
  
  The guest house has a Mediterranean style with a beautiful traditional Mallorcan stone wall, giving it a warm and authentic island atmosphere.
  
  It’s separate from the main house, so you’ll have your own space and privacy while still being part of daily life here on the finca. The surrounding area is peaceful and rural, perfect for relaxing after work or enjoying nature.
  
  We offer 3 meals a day. But you can always eat whenever you like and you are very welcome to do the meals :)
