Description
Hello dear WA community , help is needed with animal and cleaning, about 3 hours a day, splitted in two sets
we have 4 cats in a cattery with kittens, 3 females dogs ( 1pomeranianone poodle one newfoundlander), also 1 sweet goat and her 2 fun babies, ) you need to have some experience watchng over animals and above all to be a real ANIMAL PERSON
the house needs to be kept tidy as well, the place is very comfortable quiet nice deco and cosy,
internet is great with an optic fiber line and 5 G back up. the room is nice with a countryside view, a camper van is also available (but not to be on the road) . note that the place is remote so you need either your own car or to be ready to ride a bike to the next village one with small ameneties 2 km and the real deal 12 km from our place
I will need someone with strong reference and a minimum of 25 years old not afraid of spending time alone in a bit of a remote place
a bike is provided,
we are looking for a positive kind animal loving person who is no afraid of cleaning after animals that means scopping cat litters
Right now i may have to leave a few days to prospect for land in spain. the place has gas heating fully equiped kitchen warm water laundry washer iron towels sheets (all ameneties for a compfy stay ) and a wood stove

Languages
Languages spoken
English: Fluent
Spanish: Fluent
French: FluentThis host offers a language exchange
I speak well spanish after living 4 years in Costa RIca and well english after being a translator and living in united states for 7 years , I'll be happy to exchange on languages after our daily tasks (not part of the job) but you will learn lots of new words in any of these three idioms :)
Accommodation
room in the house one of the two on pictures , we dont mind accomodating a couple or two friends but in this case you need to supply your own food
What else ...
The house is in Armentière sur Avre in Normandie, the town with all commodities is 10 km away where i go once a day, and I can drive you to the train station that goes to Paris in one hour on your free days, (Verneuil sur Avre is our train station if you want to check, it is a exange so we value more workawayers that are willing to spend time on the propertie. :) the animals feel calmer when someone is around, note that our first earlier comments were on my old house near paris
Hope to meet you soon. :)
