Help for fall cleanup in garden and home cleaning and organization in semi-rural Slovenia

  Description

  Help needed for some cleaning, cooking gardening.
  
  We are Colleen and Marko, a Canadian-Slovenian couple! We have a toddler and a lovely cuddly cat! We are looking for shorter to medium term help in a couple of different areas:
  general help around the house, such as helping with light cleaning and, we need handyperson type of help with small projects in and around the house, Colleen desperately wants help with general home organization and decoration and wants to learn how to be more minimalistic. We also need help in the yard- for example making it safer for our toddler and helping in the garden and with the lawn. As fall approaches we need help preparing the garden for winter. We would love someone who could cook as well! Of course we don’t expect one workawayer to be able to do all these things and are also open to other types of help!
  
  We’re calm people who like to travel. Marko is an avid road biker and loves to read and talk about books and Colleen likes to Latin dance and do yoga. We are both into self improvement!
  
  We love to share and chat but we’re also respectful of people with different energy and sensitivities so if you need a lot of quiet/down time in your room, that completely understandable!
  
  Small note: our toddler is full on and curious so you’d need to be comfortable around small children (but you don’t have to babysit or anything like that!!!)

  Marko is from Slovenia and is happy to share about his beautiful country. Colleen has traveled extensively and loves to share her tips and travel hacks. She also loves to coach and mentor informally and will be happy to coach the work awayer if desired.
  
  We will be more than happy to share and practice our various languages with the work awayer as we speak several between us!
  
  We’re also happy to show people around this region of beautiful Slovenia as well as share tips for other parts of Europe.

  Aide

  We are looking for someone who is calm, has great energy and who is a self-starter- in other words, who will fit in like a member of the family and help out like a very close friend or family member would. We would love our child to be exposed to many different languages.
  
  Most of all we want to host someone who is comfortable with us and has a good work ethic but also is fun loving and a positive person to be around!

  Autres infos...

  Our home is approximately an hour from the capital Ljubljana, which is accessible by train and there are local buses near to us. Marko and Colleen would be pleased to pick and drop off the work awayer at the train or bus station when possible. There are nearby cities and historic places to explore.
  
  Colleen and Marko enjoy sightseeing and going into cities for a coffee, walking and experiencing other cultures. However we like to have a routine and quiet time in the mornings and evenings. Because of the child’s schedule, the house is usually quiet after 8pm but we can talk in soft voices in the kitchen/living room or outside .
