Description
*** Free Tipi in April ***
Hello world,
being wild nature lovers, we fulfilled our dream and bought some land on the "Isla bonita" La Palma/ Canary Islands.
You will usually find Thomas there. In European winter season (Nov-Mar) my husband, our babyboy and myself have the freedom to stay in our paradise. Depending if we are here or not, we look for people that help with small DIY projects and look after our house...or babysit our boy.
The house in the north west, close to the town Santo Domingo, literally at the end of the world. It is very "tranquillo" here and close to nature with a beautiful sunset every day. Its no place for party, nights out or socializing. :)
Around you can hike in any direction: either to the hippie villages in the mountains or to the astonishing cliff beaches where the locals have their weekend caves.

We share a toilet with shower & hot water and a washing machine.
You can use the outdoor kitchen and common space to prep your meals or chill out...or work remote with Wifi :)
The place is not ready yet for small kids…unless they can handle heights and stairs.
What else ...
There is a bus stop close to the house operating every 2 hours to the next small towns. It runs 8 times a day.
With the busses from the airport /port it will take you 3-4 hours and multiple changes.
Please offer some insights into your skills, your experience and personality. Why we should consider you? :)

First of all, I really had a lovely impression of them. They are good communicators and in doubt rather ask than assume, which I think is really key :) They did a lovely, very accurate job and were a good company for Thomas & Tiffy.… read more
