Program Details

About me and the place: My place is about 1 km from Santanyí in the southeast of Mallorca on a finca of about 4000 qm. I am Eva, a german painter and psychotherapist, 75 years old. 20 years ago, my wife and me moved here because we wanted to live a simple and healthy life in the nature. Since my wife passed away I live alone on the finca.
So I need someone to help me in everyday tasks, someone who helps me with gardening, caring for the animals, walk with the dog, cleaning, general maintenance, maybe sometimes shopping, helping me repairing things and maybe help me with the computer. You should be an open minded, responsible, flexible, mature, selfreliant, easy going and humorous person and love to live very near to nature.
About accommodation: I have 2 little houses and a caravan to offer. If I have friends as guests, they are your neighbours with common kitchen and bathroom next door. This houses are about 50 m from my place.
In addition to free accommodation I like to introduce visitors in the knowlege of medical herbs, producing selfmade things, you also can get painting classes. You can benefit from getting to know mallorquin culture and be welcome in in my multinacional circle of friends. I like to get to know people, love to hear about other cultures and to learn new things.
I assume about 20 working hours a week. The places are VERY simple but beautiful and quiet. But naturally there are also some dark sides. Living so near to nature also means, that our place is not as clean as city apartments and as many things are selfmade, we are far away from perfection. You see I don’t want to hide things, that could be difficult for you. And I propose you to ask any questions you have and to think about if you can deal with all this.
I look forward to hear from you!

Activities & Shift

Everyday things (during the 5 working days) that have to be done:
Normally the day for a visitor begins about 9 am with feeding the animals, walking the dogs and a little meeting with me.
There we decide what are the special works for this day. The shedule is flexible, depending of what I need and how the visitor plans his/her freetime. All work can be done until 1 pm or one part in the morning, the other in the evening. It should be about 4 hours a day, but could be that I need more hours one day and less the next.
More regular work is a second walk with the dogs and watering the garden. Once or twice a week helping in the garden, cleaning around the house, bringing away the waste and shopping. (A driver license and driver experience is required)
Special tasks can be repairing things, I do all this stuff by myself and sometimes need a helper, who does not need to have knowledge, but is willing to learn something new. Making firewood, preparing the guesthouse or helping me with some other project also can be a special task.

Rules

The most important thing for me is an open and honest communication, respecting the situation of everyone here.
We respect the nature and try to avoid damaging it: use all resources mindfully and avoid as much garbage as possible.
I don’t tolerate abuse of alcohol and drugs at my place.
I don’t tolerate aggressive behavior. This can entail a termination without notice.
