Description
Hello/Bonjour , We are family of 5 with 3 kids under 14 years old 10 and 9 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 have bought a house with spectacular view, a garden, a barn, a garage and some land.
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.
My husband and kids will be away for 2/3 weeks. I need somebody ideally for 2 to 3 weeks to help with our garden mainly and if you are a handyman or handywomen help with some work around the house. It would just be me, the dog and the cats.
We can discuss if you prefer to work in the morning or afternoon for 4 hours a day. Share a meal.in the evening.
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.
