Description
I am looking for a quiet person who would enjoy the countryside and peacefulness , the nice weather, the animals , relaxing by the pool.or wandering to the typical small Spanish village.
Next availability is mid April , for 3 weeks to 1 month .
A couple or 2 friends maybe considered and the caravan shared.
, I am looking for a long term helper, minimum 1 month to help look after my retired pony, my 2 dogs and 4 cats.
I need someone with horse/ Pony experience as once a month I need to go to the UK for a week and the Pony has a strong character!
As well as the usual poop picking, and stable cleaning.
There is feeding grooming walking and trotting in hand and lunging.
The cats and dogs need feeding and grooming and of course all need a lot of love and attention.
There are fish in the fishpond that need feeding and the wild chickens from the countryside pop in to say hello.
A gardener comes to maintain the trees and the pool robot cleans the pool.
It is very peaceful and quiet here, but it is not an isolated farm in the middle of nowhere, the house is in a Semi rural area on a road.
I am looking for a responsible, independent, energetic, motivated person, with a good sense of humour who enjoys caring for animals and l keeping the c stable area clean and organised.
I have full time lodgers who rent rooms in the main house and who are out to work during the day but in the evenings or weekends there are people around to enjoy conversations and their company.
The accommodation is a caravan with Kitchen area, toilet shower/ cubicle, hot water, integral heating.
The kitchen in the main house is used for preparing meals and their is also a private bathroom with a shower in the main house for you to use.
The caravan has its own garden area, for you to have your own space and independence, but the main gardens and pool and outside kitchen are also for you to use.
The caravan garden needs some work to make it tidy, so people who enjoy a bit of gardening would enjoy this project.
There is a bicycle to go to the village, which takes about 10 minutes, or to explore the area. There is a bus stop at the end of the road (700m ) to go to the city of Palma which the bus takes 20 minutes to get there. The caravan garden area is in the middle of a make over and it would be great to continue with this.
The oranges and grapefruit are ready on the trees at December and it’s great to make fresh juice for breakfast. The Lemons are ready March time. There are herbs growing in the garden , sage, rosemary, thyme, chives and lots of Aloe Vera plants.
The village has an abundance of restaurants, bars and shops, banks, typical of a small Spanish village.
Looking forward to hearing from you!

The guesthouse is on the countryside in the middle of the island, so it is a very calm place, perfect to slow down. Although it never gets boring, mostly I did a lot of gardening work there and prepared guest rooms.

Ana is great company too and me and the animals loved her being here.
I enjoyed the work and was willing to get early every morning. My tasks went from walking the dogs and picking ponny poo (whic is much more enjoyable than it sounds!), to spring cleaning the house, sanding windows or weeding the garden.
