Description
Bonjour, we are Brian and Levinia from England. We are a married couple and have two grown up children. We have given up work to explore the world as we love new challenges and experiences.
I have been a school caretaker for the last 12 years which involved maintaining the school and grounds, keeping it safe and presentable. Although not a builder, I am quite confident and able in dealing with most day to day repair jobs. My wife has been a nursery school manager for 20 years, working with young children, families and staff.
As a mature couple, we are looking for a quieter environment where we can put our skills to good use to help you - a mutual benefit to us all.
We have recently returned from travelling around Central and South America for a year. Whilst there we undertook a work away for 3 months, which involved gardening, cleaning and general maintenance of buildings (see our feedback). We later returned to them for house/pet sitting for another 2 months. This was an incredible time for us and one we hope to replicate again.
We like to read and cook and love nature especially bird watching. We like to go on long walks and have participated in local wildlife surveys with various organisations that we belong to, as we feel our small input can help to make a big difference.
We are non smokers, tidy, hard working and friendly. We are excited to begin a new adventure and immerse ourselves in your culture .. we look forward to hearing from you. Merci ! -

More details about your skills
I am able to do most do it yourself jobs and general decorating around the house and at work. I enjoy a project, planning and seeing a job through to the end. I set up an Eco Warrior club at my school teaching the children about recycling, conservation and how to care and protect the school environment, building bug and animal homes, planting hundreds of trees across the school and conducting citizen science projects like Garden Bird Watch and a re-wilding projects in conjunction with local wildlife organisations.
I have previously had an allotment which we ran organically growing a variety of fruit and veg, utilising natural composts/feeds and pest controls. -
