  Description

  We are an Italian family: Daniela 65 yrs, a lover of walks; my husband Francesco 72, a lover of the vegetable garden;we are both retired. My mother 92 yrs, still quite self-sufficient; Alessandro 23 yrs is my son who works outside but often in the evening he's at home. We live in the Tuscan Chianti area, in nature, we have a large vegetable garden.
  We are looking for 1 person or one couple, better if they come by car because the first village is 2 kms away.
  Only my son speaks English fluently,I speak a little English.
  We welcome english speaking people and I'd loved exchange language.
  We need help in the house: ironing, cleaning,cooking and helping my elder mother.
  We need help outside: cutting grass, clean the vegetable garden and the garden, removing paint from the wooden windows.

  Help

  I am looking for help around the house for daily house tasks, such as cleaning and helping in the kitchen, and various tasks such as repainting fixtures, a little help in the garden and in the vegetable garden and, if possible, it is not important, a little help when I have difficulty with the PC . I would also like some exchange to teach Italian and learn English, but Italian or French speaking guests are also fine
