Ayuda
I'm looking for help in my garden and in the horsefields. Also some housekeeping/cleaning in the vacationhouse.
The work is very easy to do and will be most of the time cleaning work in the garden, fields and (vacation)house. (weeding, shoveling horsepoo)
So maybe it will not be very exciting projects, but if you want to do some relaxing, calming work you are welcome!

Je deed je werk goed en met toewijding en ging rustig je gang. Je bent zeer behulpzaam en staat altijd klaar om iemand te helpen. Dank je wel voor je gezelschap en werk, ik zie je graag nog eens terug!
