Description
Hello! I live with my 15 year old daughter, two very friendly dogs and one happy cat that lives mostly outside, in a big finca in southern Spain. I have a cortijo (cottage) with 4 beds and bathroom and many outhouses. The land is about an acre in size and we have a lot of avocado and cherimoya trees. I need help with garden maintenance, picking the fruit and general help with clearing outhouses etc. My farm is organic and we are a vegan household, although if you want to eat cheese and eggs that is fine. I have a veggie plot and soon will be able to eat the veggies! I work in the village as a shiatsu practitioner, mostly during the day. I am looking for someone who isn't shy of work, is happy to help and can also work independently if needed.

Help
As above, I mainly need help with the garden. Clearing the water channels from leaves etc, some pruning also and weed clearing. General maintenance and also help with the veggie plot would be amazing! I am looking for people who love to get stuck in to the task at hand with a happy energy. I, myself, come from a family of builders and hard workers. We thrive on seeing results but also on having fun!

Spanish: IntermediateThis host offers a language exchange
I teach English as a foreign language at the weekends so I can help you with yours!
Accommodation
I have two double beds available inside the house. There is a bathroom and lounge and sun area that is separate from our family living space. There can be a make shift kitchen - I just need to set it up.
What else ...
I live 6.5kms from the seaside town of La Herradura, Granada. I have a car and also I have neighbours who drive down every day so there will always be a lift if you want to go to town. I expect that helpers can offer 5 hours a day here x 5 days a week and have the rest of the time off to do as you please. The village is lovely! Lots of bars and restaurants and the beach is beautiful.
