Descripción
I am a retired nutritionist with a market garden. My garden is next door to my home. On specific days, I get up about 5: 00 am and head to the garden. I love being in the garden.
Actually, I love the outdoors. I am a member of a hiking club. We hike last Saturday of every month. We hike either hills and valleys, coast line or waterfalls. This is the best way to explore my beautiful Island. I also love fishing though I am not a good fisher woman. I practice yoga and walk on mornings when I am not going to the garden or the beach.

I live in a quiet area on a hillside with lots of ocean breeze. the beach is about 15 minutes walk from my home and public transportation is about 3 minutes walk. Around my house is a variety of fruit trees. At anytime you will find a tree with fruits ready to be picked (mangoes, sugar apples, oranges, papaya, pineapples and french cashew).
In the garden you’ll find green leafy vegetables(lettuce, arugula/rocket, collard greens, bok choi and kale) and other vegetables. I don't use chemical in the garden.
I am looking for a mature adult to house sit, tend to the garden which includes watering and weeding. In addition, harvest lettuce to make bags of salad, harvest arugula wash. spin, dry and package, harvest bok choi and basil. Some experience is needed.

Algo más...
My youngest son and I share our home. He is out the majority of the time because of his work. I live simple.
Don't let much bother me. My belief is "There's always a plan B" you may not know it but it's there. As such I don't sweat (worry) the small stuff. I take "Me Time". I live in the here and now.
There are lots of places to explore on your own on the island. Old forts in and around the town of St. George's, waterfalls in the rural areas, cocoa plantations where you can see the making of chocolate and some of the most beautiful beaches on the island.

My husband and I volunteered here for a total of two months. For most of that time we were housesitting while the host was away, but for part of the time (approximately two weeks) the host was with us. The positive things about this stay were:
1) the room and private bathroom provided were large and well equipped and very clean. It should be noted… read more that there is no hot water. However this was not a problem for us because the days were hot and a cool shower was most welcome.
2) the island of Grenada is very beautiful and a great place to spend a few months.
3) The work requested was enjoyable and the host provided everything necessary to do the job.
4) The host is extremely clean and organized, which is a nice thing [redacted].
5) there was a washing machine which was great to have

Negative aspects of this stay were:
1) there was a BIG disagreement about the amount and type of food that would be provided. Originally we had agreed that the host would provide 100% for one of us and 50% for the other. (This was because originally, the host only wanted one volunteer). When we arrived the host informed us that that agreement had changed. We were surprised as we were never told about this change of plans. After much conversation (and disagreement), the host agreed to pay the equivalent of about seven US dollars per day ($3.50 each) for both me and my husband to buy groceries for ourselves. This turned out to be a lot less than what we thought would be provided so in the end, we ended up paying for almost all of our own food. Also, some of the food provided (dried pasta) was well past its expiration date (by three years) and when I pointed this out I was told it was still ok because it had been refrigerated the whole time.
2) My husband and I ended up renting a scooter for US$300 per month. Had we not had the scooter, it would have been a bit difficult to get around. There is a bus/shuttle system that runs on the island but there is a lot of traffic and getting back-and-forth to the beach and to the shops would have been very time consuming had we not had our own transportation
3) My husband was doing the work of a skilled laborer, such as constructing a hydroponic gardening system, repairing cement work on the ceilings, building a wall of cement blocks, and repairing leaks on the roof. He felt that his work was well appreciated by the host.

Perhaps due to cultural differences, or perhaps because our personalities clashed, and especially due to the conflict regarding the food, I did not feel appreciated by the host. We tried to talk about it and in the end our relationship was cordial.

I spent 6 weeks with Stephanie, the work was varied and interesting as I helped with scanning photos and accounting as well as the harvesting and preparing/packing salad leaves. Stephanie was a great host and I really enjoyed my time here.

Stephanie is a generous, kind, and fun host. I got clear instructions on what she wanted to accomplish and space to tackle each task within my capacity. I learned a lot about healthy eating and healthy living and have taken many of those lessons with me.
