Description
We are a happily married couple who are ready to help you with your project and your needs, we are particularly good at creating and keeping spaces clean, functional and organised, using available resources applying the use of time and space wisely within a plan to make sure improvements happen.
We have been travelling and working for the last 3 years throughout Europe, UK, Africa and Central America where we have been utilising our skills and talents to further develop and improve many projects from businesses, farms and private residences with very positive results and feedback, helping our hosts to bring their goals to fruition, which is our main objective.
We are traveling with our beloved female dogs(Inja & Yakunah), they are well behaved and very obedient, they stick to us like glue, we are fully responsible for them at all times, they are very social and adaptable, having travelled with us from South Africa through Europe to Costa Rica and UK. Having been on many different properties and in all sorts of environments with all kinds of other animals and children as well and there have never been any problems.
We have EU,UK citizenship and permanent residency if needed for the position.
We are both animals lovers, and know how to take care of them properly 🖤 as well as properties, guests and gardens which we have really enjoyed in previous experiences.
We would love to join you in designated areas for us to effectively use our skills and help you the most with your needs in the time we are with you.
