  Description

  ___________________________________________________
  I am a single mom in early 50ies. I live with my 14 old son in a small village, on Slovenian seaside, about 5 min from the sea. We live in a 2 bedroom flat, with our own entrance. We are easy going, likes to be in the nature, and likes to travel (I have been in more than 30 countries already, and my son in about 13 countries). The nearest beach is about 5 min away, possible to get there by bike or bus, or walk. We live close to touristic place.
  
  I need a reliable and responsible volunteer, age over 21, for about 1 week to 10 days weeks in July (possible in August), to help in house (gardening, painting, web designer, cooking, cleaning, ...socialising with my son (I do not have fix schedule work so we can not plan many days in advance) .I do some trainings for students, organise English language hours for kids, coaching, .. and teach my son English or Italian (if he will show an interest :) ) , occasionally you can teach me as well.
