Description
I am 55 years old, live and work in Innsbruck. My son is studying in Vienna, so I just have to manage my everyday life. I have various qualifications as a bookseller, architect and mediator.
After a colourful, varied and unconventional professional life, I have been working in a socio-economic project for long-term unemployed people for seven years. I run the workshop, we restore antiques, carpentry and upholstery work are part of it. I know a lot of art, design, ceramics, glass and rarities of all kind.
My job is wonderful, but from August 2022 I would like to take the opportunity of a company sabbatical.
I love the nature, traveling, hiking and exercises. We have many mountains in Tyrol, but the longing for the sea has become huge.
Cooking and reading are great passions. I like gardening and I a good worker with my hands.
I love variety and everything lively, I can keep myself busy, and I am almost never bored.
I speak Italian very well, can speak English pretty well. Would like to learn some French, mostly I can understand it, but to speak I need hands, feet and a glass of wine.

Ich bin 55
Jahre alt, lebe und arbeite in Innsbruck. Mein Sohn studiert seit 6 Jahren in Wien, deshalb muss ich nur mehr meinen Alltag managen.
Ich habe verschiedene Ausbildungen Buchhändlerin, Architektin und Mediatorin. Nach einem bunten, abwechslungsreichen, unkonventionellen Berufsleben, arbeite ich seit 7 Jahren in einem Sozialökonomischen Beschäftigungsprojekt für langzeitarbeitslose Menschen, ich leite die Werkstatt.
Wir restaurieren Antiquitäten. Tischler und Polsterarbeiten gehören dazu. Ich kenne mich mit Kunst, Keramik und raren Alltagsgegenständen aller Art aus.
Eine wunderbare Tätigkeit, aber jetzt möchte ich die Möglichkeit für eine betriebliche Auszeit von einem Jahr nutzen. August 2022 geht es los.
Ich liebe die Natur, das Wandern und die Berge, davon haben wir wirklich viele. Aber meine Sehnsucht nach Ferne und Meer ist riesengroß. Kochen und Lesen sind ganz große Leidenschaften. Ich bin mit Gartenarbeit und Handwerk vertraut, ich liebe Abwechslung und alles Lebendige, ich kann mich immer beschäftigen und langweile mich nie. Ich beschäftige mich mit alten Drucktechniken. Ich spreche gut Italienisch und Englisch, kann Französisch und Spanisch meistens verstehen, aber zu einem Gespräch reicht es nur mit Wein, Händen und Füßen.

I received Vera for 10 days and was very happy with all the very good help she proposed. Vera helped to clean the garden after the winter/spring and helped repairing a wood door among other things. She worked very quickly and in complete autonomy, which was very appreciated as I was very busy during this period. The garden looked really nice after… read more

I had a wonderful time with Vero, she really is a great help and a wonderful human being. She has an eye for what needs to be done and is very easy going, hard working and experienced in what she is doing. I will miss her work, her company, her cooking, her love and care for everything she is doing.

We had a great 2 weeks with Vero and she was very easy to get along with. She worked in the garden and did some woodwork preparation for decorating in the hallway when the weather was bad. She also did some housework for me which was really appreciated. Meal times were easy and she was happy to cook in the kitchen with me or on her own and enjoyed… read more

It is helpful if you like working independent. A good place to hike and enjoy nature. I'd like to come back and see how big Ruby has gotten and if she is following yet 😊 thanks for… read more
