    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 land. I need sombody, who is helping me in the garden and on the land.
    I have a lovely guesthouse, when you are a couple, you can live where in this time. When you are single, you can sleep in my little clay house. I need somebody, who likes working in the nature and in the kitchen and who is kind with my dog and my cats.
    At the moment I have a lot of fruits and vegetables to dry and preserve. On the end of September I will go for nine days to Switzerland, than I need somebody, who is looking for my animals and who is watering the garden and the fruit trees.
