We are a family of 4 (parents and 7 year old twins) and have recently moved to our dream home in Lagoa in the Algarve. We are looking for a couple or single person who can help with child care over the summer holidays while we create our outdoor space and renovating our house. Skills with gardening and input towards the renovation also welcome.
4 hours per day, 5 days a week in exchange for private 1 bed apartment with parking, breakfasts and some evening meals. Access to swimming pool and bicycles.
Gardening
DIY and building projects
Babysitting and creative play
General Maintenance
This project could involve children. For more information see our guidelines and tips here.
We live on the edge of a beautiful and typical Algarvian village with the fantastic coastline and beaches just 6 km away. Easy distance to local bars, restaurants, shops and bus routes.
Summer holidays: need help with child care so that we can continue with the below.
Help with transforming our 7000 square metre site into a beautiful garden and a fruit & vegetable orchard. Creative input appreciated. Other duties will involve fun ideas for the garden (eg: home-made zip line for kids, perhaps a tree house, etc), general maintenance, outbuilding repair, interior renovation on the rare rainy day and occasional after school childminding.
