    Description

    Hello everyone !
    I am Alexandra, Hostel Manager in Montreux, Switzerland. As my boyfriend and I just moved into a new apartment, we would need somebody to help us mainly to paint it (walls and ceiling, 70ish square meters) and help us with some simple gardening and simple help around the house.
    I will provide accommodation right on Lake Geneva (double bed and private bathroom),food and painting equipment - in exchange of 5 hours per day.
    I would need someone who is honest, reliable and respectful and with a little bit of experience. I would like the person to start working in the morning, then finishing early afternoon , so they you can enjoy the rest of the day at the lake and even in the mountains.
