Someone to paint part of my house and take care of muy garden between 15th june-15th september
Hi!
We are a family a single mother of 2 teen girls 17 and 15 years old. I am midwife working both in public hospital and at home births. My girls are studying at secondary school.
I own a historic house in the center of a village in Gran Canaria and it has a back yard of 90 m2 that we
use to grow some food, We have 2 cats, Sasha (grey stripes) and Inagua (black and white)
Our life style is mostly natural, I practice yoga everyday (I am a yoga teacher my self) the girls are quite artistic too, we try to eat at ealthy as possible and we like singing, dancing, music, and arts. We like to enjoy at the beach, nature and open air.
Our house is very big with 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrroms and has a very nice roof top where you can practice yoga if you wish (I could teach you if you want) or just enjoy sunbathing!!
The house is being repaired but it has basic non luxury conditions to live, it doesnt have heating but the weather here is very nice and the house itself has thick walls so it's mostly warm inside.
We have netflix and quite good internet connection with wifi.
You can go walking almost everywhere: supermarket, public library, museum, city hall, pharmacy, bookshops, grocery shops, bakery, eco shop, hairdresser, cafeteria, post office, bus stop to Las Palmas (capital).
If you have any questions please dont hesitate to ask!!
ABSOLUTELY NON SMOKERS PLEASE

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Gran Canaria is a very nice and social island, with great weather all year long.
The village itself has lots of history and you could do some walks around the island. The villages around are also beautiful. The north of the island is far away from all the crowded touristic places.
In the capital there are may places where to go for nice concerts and art.
Since I am a yoga teacher, you can find yoga matts all around the house.

Help
I travel this summer and want someone to look after my house,
The person will have to paint part of the house (inside parts). I will provide the paint.
Also looking after my two cat (clean the 2 wcs and feed them) s and taking care of the garden, specially watering it in summer when is so hot it may be every day.
As well some home exchangers may come to stay at home and the work away person will have to handle them the key. Before and after home exchangers come you should have to do extra cleaning of the house, put clean sheets and wash them afterwards.
I think you can plan your days having plenty of free time to spend in the island.
I am sure that with good comunication we can all have a very good experience.
Feel welcome to ask!!

Individual bedroom.
What else ...
With free time you can easily walk 5 minutes and take a bus to Las Palmas (30 minutes aprox) where you have a huge beach (Las Canteras), take some surfing or paddle surf classes, climbing classes, any kind of musical instrument class, go to a shoppin center or for a nice coffee, tea or typical food.
I go to Las Palmas frequently so I could even give to a lift occassionally and then fetch you back.
