Areas we cover
Jaen · Jaén
Jaén is a mid-sized provincial capital, with a historic centre on a slope and flatter newer districts such as Expansión Norte, the Bulevar and Las Fuentezuelas. The economy revolves around olive growing, and that shows in the hours: in some campaigns families are out all day and need help at home. It is also a city with a large older population, living alone or in couples and needing steady company.

Part-time mornings are the most common, often combined with caring for an older person in the afternoon. As a stable, local market, the same person tends to stay for years in the same house, and cover is arranged by recommendation.
What the service includes
Garden and outdoor upkeep: pruning, irrigation, lawn, pool and seasonal plant care.
Before hiring, decide what is seasonal and what is weekly: pruning, irrigation, lawn and pool are not distributed the same way in winter and summer. In Jaen gardens in Centro and Expansión Norte usually need a fixed day plus an extra visit in spring, and that is what gets written down.
What we ask of the professional
Experience with Mediterranean gardens, basic machinery skills and availability by the day.
In Jaen we ask for experience with Mediterranean gardens and basic machinery; the work is spread between Centro and Expansión Norte, almost always in full days, and a driving licence makes the journeys much easier.
Legal framework
May be employed or paid per day; machinery work requires risk-prevention compliance.
In Jaen we support the family through the paperwork: we review the contract before it is signed and check that registration and contributions are up to date.
