Description
I am living on a 3 acre beautifully maintained Ranch. The pets are 3 dogs and 2 cats. The house is very large. I am a quiet elderly woman who is enjoying this fabulous place. There is a gardener, five days, and maid 3 days a week. There are so many things that need to be done and some additional help is needed. Since moving to Mexico 19 years ago I have been involved in Dog Rescue. At this time the focus is on the maintenance of the property.
Right now my main priority is someone who has building, carpentery, and painting experience, as "Renovation Mode" is the main words here. Any house projects that you're interested in such as carpentry, painting, electrical, we have projects that would fit your need.
One of our needs is gardening. We have many huge trees on our property that need care, such as pruning and large branches being removed. Skill with a "chain saw" would be ideal. There are many garden areas with flowers and exotic plants to care for.
For those of you who love to cook we would appreciate your skills. This area has fresh fruit and vegtables which is are grown within an hour of our Ranch. The food here is amazing. I'd like to start a small herb garden.
You’ll love our pets! Please check us out as see if you think we would be a good fit. Thank you and looking forward to hearing from you!Types of help and learning opportunities
