*** HI,I NEED TO MENTION HERE that I/we, WILL NOT accept less payment than the minimum wage for any given country....We work hard but we also need to earn a fair living. Thanks for understanding.. :)


My husband and I are currently in Portugal, living with my parents to help my mother care for my dad while he was sick for a while.
I recently worked as a housekeeper for the season in a family run B&B in a National Park in Portugal (my husband was the gardener and maintenance person). The work involved the usual responsibilities, such as making beds for 7 lodges and 1 house, dusting, cleaning kitchens and bathrooms, keeping outdoor areas clean etc. It was a 3 month employment contract.
I was born in Portugal, raised in the UK (my husband is from India) and lived most of my life in the USA.
In the US I had my own house cleaning business for years and also worked for a housekeeping company where I worked for multiple clients on a weekly or bi weekly basis. Most of the work involved general house cleaning and maintenance and some required laundry or running errands. I was not required to cook meals but I have previously worked as a home help aid doing light housekeeping work and simple meals for elderly clients.
I was a self employed massage therapist in the USA and also worked at a chiropractors office and as a massage and bodywork therapist with focus on natural healing.
I have also worked as a gardener in England, working as a trainee gardener on a large country estate in Devon, and at a country house and family owned plant nursery, also in Devon.
My husband and I love working with animals and plants, growing food. I'm comfortable with housekeeping and cooking. We eat organic, natural foods. My husband is vegetarian but I eat fish, and no meat. I practice yoga and Pilates 5 days a week.
We would be happy to travel within Europe to the right working situation and family. We could either work as a couple or I could work and my husband could pursue his own online work and studies. We will consider long term or short term work.
Currently, I am also a part time voiceover artist, for audiobooks, YouTube, eLearning and meditation videos. My husband does the audio and video editing.
We are quiet, spiritual, nature loving people and a noisy, chaotic environment would not suit us. We do not drink or smoke and do not wish to work in an environment where there is smoke, heavy drinking or drugs.
For any questions, please feel free to send a message.
Thank you so much!
Elisabete :)
