    Description

    I am a working young at heart pensioner who has worked all my life in hospitality. I have two daughters living nearby, with five grandchildren . I have been running my b&b on my own for the last twelve years, as well as being a licence holder in a neighbouring town until five years ago. I am looking for assistance with the b&b, by way of helping with the work I am finding harder to do so quickly,i.e. changing beds and hovering etc.
    As well as providing accommodation I will pay you for the hours worked.

    Help

    Owing to my increasing years, I am looking for help two to three hours a day over four to five days a week, in the running of my small homely b&b at the top of mainland Scotland. Basically changing beds, and tidying rooms and kitchen. The season lasts until the end of September, and there are plenty of things to see and do in the area. Working hours in morning only, and I am flexible with days off.
