Description
We have availability for a Workawayer to live with us from the beginning of October until mid November. Ideally one female traveller, who would like to be part of the family and help us with some light housework, the kids, the animals and in the garden.
We are a South African - German family living on the beautiful island of Mallorca, Spain. Our 2 daughters (age 9 and 5) were born in Spain and are raised speaking English, German, Spanish and Catalan.
We have traveled the world ourselves for over 15 years and have volunteered on farms, homesteads etc.
Our very unique home is a beautiful, bright Finca with 5000 sqm of land.
We live at the foot of the mountains but equally close to Palma, an amazingly beautiful and lively city, and the sea. We have public transport nearby and also would do excursions together. There is many beautiful hikes in our area and our village lies in a beautiful green valley and has a big alternative community of people interested in yoga, permaculture etc.
Early 2021 we started our garden project and are in the process of planting a food forest. We have planted a lot, from fruit trees (figs, kaki, banana trees, pears, cherries, apples, peaches, avocado, mango... to kiwi and passionfruit), to a vegetable garden with tomatoes, cucumbers and zucchini, aubergines, herbs as well as berries, melons and pumpkins... We have an existing mature, park like garden full of almond trees, olives, carob, mulberry, bay tree, nisperos, plums... We really are interested in learning about permaculture, are going to have chickens very soon, as well as a donkey, a horse and a pony that are moving in soon... and are interested in living off the grid fully. We basically just need solar power, then we are off the grid.
We have a dog, a cat and a few tortoises.
We are health conscious, mostly vegetarian, do yoga and love the outdoors.
Let's live and play together.

We like to have a friend stay with us, rather than a stranger. We like to do stuff together, love having someone that actually wants to get involved and be part of our family finca, not just someone that wants to do the minimum hours and then does their own thing every minute they are off. We love friendly company and are happy to share the experience of this beautiful island with our guest.

Aide
We welcome you into our home in exchange for help around the house, with the kids, the animals and in the garden. Initiative and good vibes needed. House work is easy, just the day to day stuff that everyone does at home anyway. We usually take turns cooking meals. Sometimes you would hang up or fold laundry, hoover the kitchen... Sometimes you would water the garden, sweep the terrace, do some weeding or help planting or harvesting or conserving foods, depending on the time of the year. Jobs here are super divers. The kids love to play in the garden, do arts and crafts, or jump on the trampoline. Nobody here has to babysit the kids alone, I am always around and don't leave workawayers alone with the kids as I work from home. You might sometimes look after them while I do some work, cook dinner or just take a break from my 24/7 job as a mum ;) This is not a regular Au-pair position. You don't drive kids to school, you don't get them ready in the morning, you don't bath the kids, etc. This is Finca Life. As we all live and eat together, we would of course appreciate assistance with those day to day tasks such as cooking and kitchen chores, just like you have to do them at home. We enjoy spending the evenings together, having dinner together, playing games, having a dance party... etc. Playing with the dog is encouraged too, as well as brushing him ;) He will be very happy with you too.

We prefer nonsmokers.
Preferably people that are either fluent in English or German, as these are 2 of the languages the kids are learning. The kids love to help you learn Spanish. They correct me too!

Even though she is only 18 years old, I have to say I am impressed how mature and grown up she is. She helped me with the girls (2 and 7), around the kitchen and usually cooked dinner for us.

I stayed with her and the kids for 3 weeks in December and really enjoyed it a lot.
They live in a beautiful big house surrounded by lovely nature, but still close to Palma. I had my own room plus bathroom, enough privacy.
We did lots of nice trips together,… read more
