We need someone who can assist me during the day when my husband is at work, to maintain the exterior of the property, mow, mow, clear brush, garden, prune... in the summer. Splitting, chopping or collecting wood can also be done, as can DIY work, chicken coop repairs , work in the house or others depending on the skills of our host.

If the person is willing, we can offer to do the housework or cooking, as I've gone back to work part-time and don't have enough time to do it all.
