Stay with our little family on a beautiful island in Abades, Spain

  Description

  We are a family of four, 2 adults and 2 children (our little girl of 4 years old and our young man who is 2 years old) and an ever growing extended family of animals!
  It started with a rescue dog, and then another until we now have 3, then a few chickens and now we have quite a flock, who when then joined by 2 Spanish milk goats and then 2 Nigerian dwarf goats, are latest members!
  
  We are in the process of renovating our small finca as well as wanting to start producing as much of our own food as possible, all while looking after the children and animals.
  
  So many plans and not enough hands!
  
  We are located in a rural area, but still only 30 minutes from the hectic life of Las Americas.
  Tenerife is a small island, but it doesn't take long to become an islander and think a 30 minute drive is "just to far" :D

  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  With 2 small children and lots of animals our lives revolve around our finca.
  This is a great opportunity to learn about poultry and small livestock, including animal husbandry.
  
  If you have knowledge / experience of growing your own food we would love to hear from you as this is our next big project.
  
  Our eldest attends the local Spanish school, where we chat to the other parents.
  She is also learning to swim at the local leisure centre, which you are more than welcome to join us during these lessons.
  And also she goes to a dancing class once a week in the nearby community hall.
  
  We have carried out quite a lot of renovation so far, and have learned "on the job" so are happy to share what we learned .
  
  Until last year we used to operate the largest dive centre in Europe and have a love of meeting people from all around the world and sharing our experiences and stories and love to learn from all cultures.

  Aide

  We are looking for people to assist with gardening, assisting with the animal care and general maintenance around the finca.
  
  No need to be a "pro", but a willingness to get stuck in and "have a go" with enthusiasm is important.
  
  Previous experience is a bonus but not essential as we can learn together.
  
  The commitment involves helping ~ 4 hours a day, 5 days a week. You will always have two consecutive days off.
  
  Our children are always described as happy and outgoing and love new people and animals.
  
  We speak English in the house, but it is a tri-lingual house with the kids learning Spanish and I am Dutch with my English husband, so conversational English is a must.

  Hébergement

  As our finca is still being renovated we are offering accommodation in our glamping bell tent (20 square metres)
  It has a "real double bed" and mattress, so is reasonably comfortable.
  Located near the house with views of the ocean.
  
  Regarding food, we are quite irregular, so are more than happy to take you shopping with us, and you'll have plenty of fridge and shelf space to store your food.
  
  The tent has a fridge and small cooker and BBQ.
