Home and garden support in beautiful Brie sous Chalais, France

Details

  Description

  I work locally and it seems like there aren’t quite enough hours in the day!
  Help with household chores, working in the garden and grounds would all be very welcome.
  I live between Chalais and Barbezieux in the South Charente. Angouleme is about forty minutes away and Bordeaux is just over an hour.
  Local beauty spots include Aubeterre sur Dronne, Jonzac and St Aulais.
  The west cost of France is just over an hour away at Royan and from there, the islands of Ile de Ré and Oleron are not too far.
  The help around the house would mainly include gardening and cleaning duties, but there could be some painting to be done or help with pointing masonry around the outside of the house or other small projects.
  I have a “gïte” on the side of my property which I rent out. However, anyone coming as a “WorkAway” would not be involved in any way with that side of the property.
  Three meals a day will be provided to workaway guests.
