Help us take care of our home and make it beautiful 🏡✨
The experience
Hello! We are Carmen and Jorge, a 27-year-old couple who just bought a house. We need help with small renovations (we are not looking for a professional) to fix it up and make it beautiful. We also have a very large garden that we need help maintaining 🌿🌼.

Program Details
The goal of this volunteer program is to create lifelong bonds by sharing experiences, cultures, and laughter. We are not looking for a worker, we are looking for a companion who will make our lives easier and help us achieve our dream home so we can continue to expand our family 👶🏻.
We will pick you up at the airport ✈️ or train station and drop you off there for your return trip (as long as our schedules are compatible).
You can communicate with us in English, Spanish or Italian 🗣️
You will have a private room and bathroom on the ground floor of the house.
We look forward to welcoming new Worldpackers!
NOTE: we are frequently travelling, so be patience if we do not answer inmediately or our availability is not updated. Sorry for this!! We try yo do our best.
Activities & Shift
Your day will start at whatever time you prefer: 8:00, 9:00, or 10:00, as long as you can dedicate 4 hours a day to volunteering. You can have whatever we have for breakfast at home ☕. Some days you may work in the evenings, as we will need help at this time. This volunteer work is compatible with teleworking, as you can do all tasks after lunch if it is more convenient. We are quite flexible in this regard.
Your daily tasks will include (not all of them every day):
- Applying filler to walls
- Helping with decorating decisions
- Deep cleaning rooms that are being renovated
- DIY projects (sanding, painting, varnishing, etc.)
- Repairing minor damage
- Doing gardening work (weeding, mowing the lawn, planting, turning the soil, etc.)
You can also have lunch and dinner with us with everything we have in our house.
After completing the day's tasks, you will have complete freedom to enjoy your time, and on weekends you can join our plans—we always do something fun! 🎉

Smoking is strictly prohibited both inside and outside the house (we do not accept smokers).
