    Description

    from July 20 on I need one handy person when I am settling into my next house. Lots of small chores that cannot be done by local professionals.
    This house will be near Alvaiázere. The house will have simple accomodation for the time being, hopefully the kitchen will be ready to use. If not, there will be a kitchenette for both of us.
    Pictures will follow soon!

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Daily contacts with the friendly locals, I can tell a lot about Portuguese culture; I am a very experienced gardener so I can coach or supervise whoever wants to learn more by doing it. I am a chef and love to prepare traditional dishes as well as Indian food.

    Help

    Due to reducing mobility, vertigo and an eye condition I would be delighted when you could help me in house and garden, general maintenance, incidentally being my driver in my car with automatic gear, and pet care/walking my dogs.
    Also an e-bike is availble, suitable for shopping errands in Alvaiázere

    When pet sitting is the main objective so that I can go away for a week or so, your stay will be self catered without other chores.

    Important notices: I need helpers who are fluent in Dutch, English or Portuguese, minimum age 25 years;
    My two small dogs come from shelters; experience and affinity with dogs is essential for a pleasant stay and for the well-being of all of us;
    Due to my own health condition I cannot cater for vegans and raw foodists, but you are free to prepare your own meals.
