  Description

  Hi, I'm Paola and I live in Domodossola, a nice and small town in the heart of the Alps on the border between Italy and Switzerland.
  Domodossola has an international station and in a couple of hours you can easily reach Milan and in half an hour you can visit Lake Maggiore, also by train in 20 minutes you can get to Switzerland.
  If you love nature and mountains you’re in the right place! Domodossola is surrounded by 7 valleys each one with many beautiful paths to hiking, climbing or trekking, or mountain biking
  
  i live in a big house, my 27-year-old son lives with me but he is almost never at home because he works in Switzerland and my elderly parents live upstairs . My 32oldest son of 32 lives not far with his girlfriend
  In the courtyard there is a beautiful garden with 3 turtles. I also have a vegetable garden and I would need someone to help with a light maintenance of the green.
  I have two dogs and two cats Otto an 4-year-old puppy who would always like to play with the ball and Lady who loves cuddles and the sofa, Romeo and Cipollino the two cats who come in and out of the window and live in the garden.
  I'm looking for help to walk and play with the dogs, keep the house clean and garden in order and cook on occasion.
  You can sleep in an independent room with a shared bathroom, you can use the kitchen and everything in the fridge ; I don't have much time to cook.
  I speak a little English and German and hosting is also an opportunity for me to improve my languages
