Seeking Work Trade- House Sitting and Land CareTaker Couple

Seeking one COUPLE ONLY!

We have a large retreat in Paradise on the Hilo side of the Big Island of Hawaii with a 3 bedroom inn that needs house sitting and house cleaning. Computer/Marketing experience such as being able to write ads and find resources to promote the inn would be a huge plus.

The landscape needs lawn mowing and weed whacking. Also have an outdoor cat that needs to be fed. Construction, Handyman and Gardening skills are a plus.

There are no dogs or cats allowed in the inn and No smoking, drinking or drugs allowed on this sacred land.

We would like to try out a couple for one month and see if it works out.

This is a work trade opportunity so you would get your own 1 bedroom rustic cabin outside the inn, but there is a possibility of profit share for a valuable couple. You may have pets in the cabin.

Having your own income or work at home job on the side is a plus.

This opportunity starts on January 5th . From then we can re-evaluate after 1-3 months to see if you are a good match for the opportunity.

Please send your resumes that list your work experience.

Mahalo!

Electra,

I am graduating in about a week with a BA in Sustainable Agriculture. I have been working on a goat/sheep/cow dairy in North Carolina for the past 10 months making artisanal farmstead cheeses, milking, providing medical care and keeping all the records on the livestock. My boyfriend and I have been together for 3 years - he currently works for a forestry consultant - and we both want to move. Both of us are meticulously clean and enjoy keeping our living space as such. Luckily, we also enjoy cleaning I am interested in moving to Hawaii and am wondering if there are any farms nearby your place? Although neither of us have housekeeping experience, we find satisfaction in cleaning and I have been working in a USDA-inspected cheeseroom for the past 10 months, which requires LOTS of cleaning! Let me know if this interests you and I can send you my resume through email!
