  • Description

    Description

    Hello, we are a family of four. My husband Leo is from Argentina, I am a Kiwi, and my two kids were born in Spain and Argentina. We need a bit of help with home maintenance - nothing too tricky, a bit of painting here and there. We have a warm and comfortable 4 bedroom home a few kilometres from the beach, spare bikes and car.
    We know what it is like to live abroad and seek connnection with locals - and we look forward to welcoming you into our household.
