    Description

    I'm a Swisswoman and I live on a little farm near Monchique. I have a dog, two cats, an organic garden and many fruit trees and a lot of work on my steep land. I need sombody, who is helping me in the garden and on the land.

    For July I need somebody, who is looking for my pets, watering my garden and my fruit trees because I'm away for two weeks from the 14. -28. July. You have to come earlier, because you need to learn, what to do. For this time it would be useful, when you bring your own car with you.
    I have a lovely guesthouse, when you are a couple, you can live where in this time. I need somebody, who likes working in the nature, who can handle machines and likes to help in the kitchen and the garden. I wish also somebody, who is kind with my dog and my cats.
