Aide
We would like our workawayers to help look after our small menagerie (chickens, ducks, dog and goldfish) and general jobs around the house (cleaning, tidying-up etc) and garden (weeding, composting, tendering veg beds, hedge trimming etc), cooking family meals. As well as possibly helping with projects painting, building and even a tree house.
During the cooler months (October - May) the help will be more outside than inside.
In summer when it's too hot for much gardening the help will be more inside - maybe general cleaning or cooking.
We have 2 lively 13 year old twins (a girl and a boy). They both love dancing, gymnastics, badminton, trampolining, motocross - basically anything energetic. We are lucky we have a large garden with a heated swimming pool so there is plenty of room for them to run and shout. They are both fluent in English & Portuguese. On the whole they lead very busy lives with school and sports and do not need babysitting but occasionally a game of cards, or a simple meal would be very welcome on the odd occasion us parents are not around.
Occasionally we may spend a few days away and we would then ask our workawayer to be our house and pet-sitter. Plus the vegetable patch that will need keeping an eye on too.
We believe strongly that both the host and the workawayer must enjoy their roles and strive to reach a "win/win" situation - it's the only way to keep everybody happy and we all like happy!
