Description
Hello/Bonjour , We are family of 5 with 3 kids under 14 years old 11 and 10 year old, one amazing dog and 2 cats. We living the dream of helping our children be in touch with the genius of nature and the principles by which it operates.
We live in a house with spectacular view. From the windows, the landscape becomes part of daily life - almost like a living painting, shifting with the light, the weather, and the seasons.
Morning mist lifts softly from the hills. Summer greens give way to rich autumn tones. Winter brings crisp skies, dramatic sunsets, and quiet evenings filled with stillness. No two days feel exactly the same here.
To live here is to own a "live painting" that changes with every passing hour, and you can be the spectator.
This is the fuel for the work that needs to be done and will keep you motivated and maybe inspired.....
We are looking to restore parts of the house and garden. We have 3 lovely kids. We need help with the garden . We are looking for somebody that loves the outdoors and nature. Full transparency we are in a translational period of our lives. Our objective is to move to the the Basque country my husband is already there and we my kids and I will be moving in September so we need some help around the house.
I need somebody ideally for 2 to 3 weeks to help with our garden and house maintenance painting, treating wood, project of building together a fire pit space/place
We can discuss if you prefer to work in the morning or afternoon for 5 hours a day. I provide breakfast, lunch and dinner. My kids eat meat I do NOT. I do eat fish, however, and tend to make things my kids do not like, vegan, vegetarian, I would be happy to cook for you if that is your kind of food!!!!
Ideally, you have your own car. We do have 1 electric bike that you can use to go to the lake, shops, etc....
We live in a quite village that is not far from a town that has river kayaking and a lake swimming and lots of cycling trails and walking. If nature is your thing this is the right place to be.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We are a multicultural here; my origins are from Serbia, lived in Croatia, Italy and travelled solo in Asia and OZ. I love travel and meeting people as I can not do that I thought its the next best thing, it would be a wonderful idea for the kids to have a multicultural experience, meeting people from different cultural backgrounds and all walks of life. We would love to have people from all over the world to share and exchange. The nature around us fantastic there are plenty to do and explore, historically and plenty of natural beauty. Lakes for swimming, Mountains close by for skiing and also sea and Spain is not too far either. So much to do and see. We love to share with you our love of the area and its culture.

Help
5 hours a day and it's up to you how you organise that. Weekend you are off. The work mainly involves gardening, painting, and treating wood. It's a real bonus if you have experience in house maintenance.
Our project together could also be creating a place/space for a fire pit and sitting area. At the moment it's a shell of a project, it needs some knowledge in that kind of stuff. Although these days lots of good videos on you tube we can figure something out. If that kind of stuff gets you excited get in touch. Love to hear from you!

What else ...
A town with shops and restaurants is 2 km down the hill we can provide electric bikes, people run and hike and para-glide around us. Lake for swimming in the summer is not far. River for fishing or kayaking
