Description
I have hosted many helpers over the last few years and I really value the exchange.
I would like some help in the garden, with some painting and organizing in the house and general day to day housekeeping activities.
I have 3 children - 3 boys who are 11, 13 and 18 who are friendly, easy going and welcoming to new friends into our home! They spend a week with me then a week with their father.
Freddie is our dog who loves walks and cuddles and would love to meet you too!
What can you expect?
A warm welcome, nice accommodation, fun, great food, flexibility. Help with your English, a nice base on your travel journey with support and encouragement on wherever you are heading ....
What do I need?
Positive energy, smiles, a willingness to be flexible - help with running a family, administration for English classes, gardening, dog sitting, cooking .... someone to share and enjoy each others company whilst also having space.
Brittany is beautiful, there is lots to do - surfing, kayaking, walking, cycling....
Look forward to hearing from you.Types of help and learning opportunities
