Hello there!

We are a happy family living in Alaro on the magical island of Mallorca.

We could also use some help with various DIY projects and general maintenance, like painting etc. Some jobs in the garden and outdoors.

Some everyday help in and around the home and garden. It could be doing the laundry, vacuuming, feeding the cats, walking the dog, going to the supermarket, whatever tasks need done. Helping in the kitchen. Watering the plants. Looking after the vegetable patch!

There is a mix of things we need help with, suiting flexible practical people.

We both have busy work schedules, so not so much time to hang out with our Workaway helpers. It is quite helpful for us if our helpers are good at organising themselves and being a bit independent.

We have had many Workawayers! We have a very big international Workaway family!!!!

I have two amazing teenagers, one boy of 18 and a girl of 16. My son lives in London now and is a master guitar player in training! He is writing his own material and has a band on the go now too! My lovely daughter is into art and sushi. and is generally a really sweet and intelligent!

My passions include art, singing, dancing, music, health and holistic healing, therapies, spirituality.
My partner Mark is a passionate sailor having grown up on the Isle of Wight, with a big love of music..

A driver would be great, but not essential.

Any questions Please let me know!

We look forward to hearing from you soon!

Libby, Mark and family xxx

Libby is such a beautiful and generous human inside and out. I was so incredibly fortunate to spend a short time (I wish it was longer!!) with Libby and her family who welcomed me so warmly.

Libby is a gem. Honestly one of kindest, good hearted and welcoming people I have ever met.

If you get the chance to stay with her, Poppy the smart, talented young woman and Leo, a rock and roll star, then do it.

From the first point of contact she was very open and friendly, we couldn't wait to get started!

Thank you for the time we spent… read more

This was my first workaway experience and I consider myself incredibly lucky to have spent 3 and a half weeks with Libby and her children, Leo and Poppy! I started the workaway by myself and then my best friend joined me for the rest of the time.

Location and accommodation: The house is located in Sóller, an absolutely beautiful area… read more surrounded by mountains. It's close enough to the centre that you can walk to and from. Libby also has a bicycle you can borrow and also we were able to use one of her cars to explore the island on our days off. You have your own bedroom and share use of the rest of the house, including the kitchen. The yard is full of orange trees and we often had freshly squeezed orange juice in the mornings :)

Food: Libby paid for and provided the majority of our food which was absolutely wonderful. If we wanted something particular or something that the rest of the family didn't eat, we paid for it. We also paid for wine or beer. Libby has a somewhat specific diet so we tried to be as respectful as possible to not eating/finishing the foods she can eat. Good idea to talk to her about that at the beginning of your stay!

The work: It varied greatly from day to day, but there were regular tasks such as dishes, laundry, meal prep and general tidying up of the house. In addition, we often would either drive the kids to school or pick them up (approximately 30-45 minutes from the house). Libby also manages several rental properties in the nearby towns of Deia and the Port of Sóller. We helped cleaning the properties a few times. I would suggest asking Libby for clear direction and her expectations beforehand. Otherwise, there were always odd jobs or projects around the house to be done. For example, clearing out and cleaning the shed, weeding the patio, helping with the animals (rabbits and rats), cleaning the house (weekly), etc. The schedule is not regimented so you might do something in the morning and then have the afternoon quiet and then go pick up the kids in the afternoon/take the kids to lessons, etc. Unexpected things may come up as well so it's important to be flexible!

The family: Leo and Poppy are wonderful children. We spent a lot of time with the kids and they are talkative, energetic, joyous and smart! They are kids, though! They do have their moments, but that's to be expected. Leo is learning the guitar and he's absolutely fantastic. Poppy is a little upcoming artist! Libby is burst of energy and love. She is incredibly compassionate and works hard to make everyone around her happy. She's a busy, busy single mom so naturally there are times she is under a lot of stress. We did our best to try and receive that as much as possible just by helping with the kids or alleviate any extra stressors.

Overall: I would HIGHLY recommend this workaway. The family is absolutely beautiful in so many ways and we felt like part of the family immediately. Libby invited us to take part in family activities or go into town with her. We visited art exhibitions, met many of her friends, visited nearby beaches and towns, and more! If you have the opportunity to spend some time with Libby and her kids, please do!

Libby, Poppy and Leo: Stay beautiful and keep spreading the love! Thank you so much for everything and I hope our paths will cross again someday.
