Description
3 years ago we (My daughter and I) moved to a beautifull farmhouse in the province of Noord-Holland.
There is quite a bit of deferred maintenance both outside and inside. We need help in various areas of jobs that can be done. During summertime outside gardening, cleaning, weeding and maintenance in the vegetable garden.
But also sanding and painting windows and furniture
I also have a son and daughter they already live on their own, when they were little we had an au pair. It was a nice experience to have someone from abroad in the house and to exchange cultural experiences.
