    Description

    (due to a lot of requests, we are now only excepting applicants that with to stay 1 month or longer)
    (we now can offer a separate fully furnished house for couples or families).

    Hey there! we're all about keeping things relaxed and matching what you're into with the stuff that needs doing around here. If you're the artsy type, you might find yourself doing art projects with the kids. Good with languages? Help us with our Portuguese. -- We've always got some house projects on the go.

    Our style is super laid-back. My wife and I were workawayers once, so we totally get how it feels when hosts are just in it to get some free work. We're here to make sure you have a great time and feel like part of the fam, not just an extra pair of hands.

    Look forward to having you!

    Help

    We are a Canadian family that has migrated to the Azores. We are looking for help with
    - Gardening on the property.
    - Small construction projects around the house.

    Regarding hours ---typically ask for about 20-25 hours of work per week. This usually means 4-5 hours a day, but we’re pretty flexible. If we've got a bigger task that needs more time in a day, we’ll definitely balance it out so you can have more downtime later in the week.

  • Accommodation

    Accommodation

    the accommodation we offer is pretty sweet. You’ll have a full-sized bedroom all to yourself on the second floor of our house. - the second floor is like its own little apartment, complete with a living room, bathroom, and kitchen.

    As for meals, we provide a meal allowance since we’ve got three kiddos to feed as well.--
    Plus, we get that you’ll want to explore the island while you’re here. So, we have an old Fiat that you can use to zip around and see the sights — no charge at all! We ask is that you get it insured in your name, just to keep things legal and above board.
