Description
We live in the middle of a beautiful mountainside in a remote rural location in the South of Spain. The mountain tops are full of snow in winter and gorgeous sun in summer. But all year round we have blue skies. Just 1km from us is the nearest village, Los Cerricos, where there is a Church and 2 bars. The next nearest small town is 10 km away, (Chirivel) with banks, supermarkets, restauarants, shops etc, further afield are many pretty towns and local attractions. Where we are, it's just the noise of goat bells and the occasional tractor! Fantastic if you love nature, peace and quiet. An individual or a couple would be a great help to the family (there is always plenty of work to be done to keep on top of the housework, cooking etc - so a couple would also work well, although the priority at the moment is maintenance work in the house.)
It is a huge bonus if you have a car, due to the remoteness of the location. We do go out....but without a vehicle, you must be prepared to be happy to go for walks and not see anyone for some time! A driving licence would be useful to help with errands and occasionally picking the kids up from school.
About me: I was going to teach in Bangkok after living in the UAE for 7 years, but I split with my husband in Aug 2019 and ended up on the beautiful mountainside with 2 toddlers, (Albie, is now 9 and Teddy, 8) an autistic 23 year old, Tom, who has recently relocated to the UK, a farm house, a beautiful, soft dog, Sophie, 3 cats, and 10 acres of land......(I am a Spanish, French, German and English teacher, originally from the UK)
In return for helping in the farmhouse, you will be rewarded with a wonderful experience, a chance to learn new skills, such as basic building, landwork or cooking, improve your English or Spanish and gain great references. An opportunity to live in a wonderful area to explore Almeria, Andalucia and Murcia, as well as happy memories from a loving, crazy, family environment, lots of nature, lots of beautiful views, local bars and lots of family fun.

Aide
We have some DIY projects going on so any experience in this field would be fabulous. If not, we can teach you! If you are a couple, the second person can help with making lunch for the team and ensuring the house and outside areas are kept clean and tidy. A driving licence to run errands or occasionally pick up the children from school would also be very useful.

Autres infos...
During your time off, it is a wonderful place for outdoor pursuits such as walking, running, yoga, cycling etc. In walking distance, you can walk to the local village (1km away) where there are 2 bars that also serve excellent food at very reasonable prices. I can assist with transport to nearby towns and cities but there is no public transport available in the immediate vicinity. I can offer bicycles or can help with transport to places where you can catch a bus or train - 25 mins car journey away. 1.5 hours by car is the wonderful city of Granada and its ski resorts. It is 1.5 hours to the beach, 2 hours to the city of Almeria or 1.5 hours to Murcia. We live in a very friendly community of Spanish, English and other nationalities.
