    Description

    I live in a beautiful mountain town in Mexico. Very friendly and safe. The community is welcoming.
    I am a retired rescue hacienda for dogs and cats. I have 8 dogs 10 cats. The dogs are my family. They have full access to the house. You must be ok with that.
    I need help with my garden areas. Keeping up with the dog duties.
    Basically you would be of a great help to me.
    Work would entail maybe 2-3 hrs a day. After that you would be free to explore the area..Speaking Spanish is not necessary.
    About me I am a retired chef from California. Been living in Mexico for more than 2 decades.
    Single female.
    I would like someone who is interested in making Mexico their home. You could help me out while I’m home, then take over the care of the house and pets while I’m away.
    You would be free to explore other areas,
    I’m usually away 2-3:times a year for at least a month each time
    Of course I would host while living here and helping me.
    My preference would be someone almost a senior,,with good positive energy.
