Description
I'm a single guy divorced and my kids are with their mother. I work a lot, sometime at home, sometime away, and I need to maintain my house and garden nice and clean.
My house is quite big with a garden and swimming pool, in a small village, just in front of a river. It's located just near a quite big town (Villefranche) and 30km from the big city of Lyon, 2h from the Alpes.

Help
I just need some help to maintain my garden and house nice and clean. I also need help for iron laundry. Some plumbing work can also be done as I've started to create a new shower. I would also appreciate some cooking.

He was very respectful of my interests. My best memory was when he took me to the villages of Beaujolais and let me taste plenty of wines. It was truly a valuable experience.
