    Description

    My husband and I have been living in Martinique for a few years now. He's originally from Le Lamentin, and I'm from mainland France. We live in an old house with a small garden and terraces. I'm having shoulder surgery in early July 2026, and I'll need a little help with garden and terrace maintenance, as well as some light housework, until I regain some independence. Since I also run a bed and breakfast, this surgery won't allow me to fully dedicate myself to my garden and house as I'd like. That's why I'm posting this request to find a man, woman, retiree, or couple who isn't afraid of the sun, has some gardening knowledge, and can do a bit of light housework. It would mainly be help to maintain this lovely garden that I cherish so much, as well as some light housework. Personally, I love gardening, cooking, and DIY projects. My husband and I try to use all the products Mother Nature provides and transform them into juice, flour, vinegar, etc., and make delicious local dishes for our family and guests. You'll have accommodation and meals during your stay with us, as well as access to our bathroom and a few hours of work in the morning. I can't offer anything more than that... Calling all applicants, and thank you very much!

    Mon mari et moi vivons en Martinique depuis quelques années lui est originaire du Lamentin, moi de Métropole, nous vivons dans une maison ancienne avec petit jardin et terrasses, je dois subir une opération de l'épaule début Juillet 2026 et j'aurais besoin d'une petite aide pour l'entretien de mon jardin, terrasse ainsi qu'un peu travaux ménagers dans la maison le temps de retrouver une petite autonomie, ayant aussi une chambre d'hôtes, cette petite intervention ne me permettra pas pu m'occuper pleinement de mon jardin et de ma maison comme je l'aurais voulu, donc c'est pour cela que je fais cette demande pour trouver un homme, une femme voire retraité(e) où en couple, qui n'aura pas peur du soleil, un peu de connaissances en jardinage et quelques petits travaux ménagers, Ce sera surtout une aide pour entretenir ce joli jardin que j'aime tant ainsi qu'un peu d'entretien de la maison.
    Perso j'aime jardiner, cuisiner, bricoler, avec mon mari nous essayons d'utiliser tous les produits de mère nature et de transformer en jus ,farine, vinaigre etc....et faire de bons petits plats locaux, pour la famille et les hôtes.
    Vous aurez l'hébergement et les repas le temps de votre séjour parmi nous ainsi que le partage de notre salle de bain, quelques heures de travail le matin , je ne peux pas dire mieux....... avis aux candidats (tes) et un grand merci à vous.

    I would like to find someone WHO SPEAKS FRENCH, as I am not good at foreign languages, man or woman, even retired or couple, who is not afraid to work a few hours in the sun, who has knowledge of gardening or, depending on the household maintenance, as well as my terraces, it would be more of a team job to maintain and weed the flowerbeds, around the shrubs and if no outdoor work it could be small household jobs, which I usually do) and in exchange this will allow him/her, if he/she wishes, to visit our island, and to eat good local dishes.
