Description
Hi there and welcome to our WorkAway profile,
We are Anne, Loes and Thomas, a Dutch family living in the countryside near the picturesque L’Ametlla de Mar. Five years ago we bought a finca with 1,5 hectare of land, and ever since we’ve been shaping it into a warm home where we can live, enjoy nature, and welcome family, friends – and Workawayers!
This time, we are looking for two reliable and animal-loving people to stay in our home while we are away from 20 December until 5 January. During this period, we mainly need you to:
Take care of our animals (walk an energetic dog, a small flock of chickens, and two affectionate tomcats).
Keep an eye on the house and watering the garden.
🚗 Important to know: you’ll need your own transport (car or bike) to get around, and we prefer non-smokers.
You will have your own room in the main house, with heating, air conditioning.
From here it’s only a few minutes by car or bike to the nearest supermarket, and a little further to L’Ametlla de Mar , a small but lively seaside town with restaurants, shops and beautiful beaches. The nearby mountains are also perfect for hiking and cycling.
Although we won’t be around during this period, you will have the chance to enjoy the peace and quiet of our finca, surrounded by olive and almond trees. It’s a wonderful place to spend the holidays if you love nature, animals and tranquility.
A little about us so you know whose home you’ll be caring for:
Anne is a building contractor who loves construction projects and diving.
Loes is a goldsmith, who enjoys balancing her work with family life, animals, the garden, and long walks.
Thomas is our lively 6 year old son, always curious and full of energy.
We have had great experiences with people staying here, and we hope to find two trustworthy Workawayers who would like to enjoy our home while helping us out by looking after it.
If this sounds like something for you, we’d love to hear from you!

Wat een fijn welkom.
Ons zoontje was heel blij om nu bij een Nederlands gezin te zijn, de communicatie gaat dan een stuk makkelijker. Al op de eerste dag vroeg Reyk of hij met Loes mee mocht om een boodschap te doen en Thomas op te halen, dat zegt toch heel veel over hoe… read more
ontzettend bedankt voor jullie inzet en gezelligheid. We kijken terug op een paar hele fijne en leerzame weken samen.
We hebben heel hard gewerkt samen, en er is veel werk verzet. Gelukkig hebben ook, voor zover het weer het toeliet, een paar leuke uitstapjes gemaakt.
