Description
PLEASE READ ALL OUR PROFILE.
1. Before you apply, our small project is Close to Antigua Guatemala, maybe 30 minutes away in car, chicken bus perhaps more.
2. We are a 42 and 43 year old couple. Our 4 bedroom project just finished, so some small duties are requested as:
- Mowing with machine if the grass is grow. (We can teach you how to use it)
- Gardening (fertilize small plants, cut off the grass and pick up pine leafs)
- Clean common areas, kitchen and living room.
- Cleaning after dog, feed, walk and shower dog.
- Cleaning cat's litter box and feed Dobby, our adopted cat.
- Help if any task shows. Nothing hard, just help.
- Call if any circumstance shows, communication.
3. We ask not to use drugs, smoking or drinking. No NEGOTIATE.
4. The place has the next amenities.
- Internet 20 mbs
- Light and water
- One bed with bed sheets
- private bedroom and restroom with hot water.
- Equiped kitchen, living room and smart tv.
- Closet
- stove and gas
- Mini refrigerator
- Dishes
5. No meals will be included, you can work for three hours daily, split your time and agenda, like that you will have more time to go around and visit places, duties here are easy.
6. Paint a table with brush.
A very important fact, the security cameras, are distributed in the house outside, yard and backyard, and 1 camera is in the kitchen/dining room. We don't have any hide camera, you can see all of them, some times, we like to play around and talk with the pets trough cameras, it has nothing to do with you and your tasks, only for security, so if you feel uncomfortable with this, PLEASE DO NOT APPLY for the position, since we WILL NOT REMOVE THE CAMERAS by any means. Period.
We really see if you are reliable and interested in our project by saying our cats name, Iroh. If you don't say it, then it means that you didn't even read and our answer wil not be positive.
We will appreciate to be here with us no more than two weeks, since the tasks are very easy, like that we can host more volunteers.
Sometimes we like to share with our workawayers more about Guatemala culture by taking them to visit small towns or the city, we do believe that workaway experience is a journey to share stories and experiences not just working, so sometimes the invitation will be there if time let us do it.

By the moment we will be here and we can share some stories, if the opportunity shows, maybe we can take you for a ride.
