Description
I am a German national, living in the southwest of France in a 1790 maison with a pool and 6 en suite bedrooms. I have a young cat who is very playful and cute, his name is Louis.
I grew up in Germany and then lived in the US for 40 years. Now enjoying my time living in France.
There is a spacious garden area and pool with lounge chairs. The house is within walking distance from the "little Venice of France", it also has cafes, small shops, and a weekly market. There is even a local bookstore that carries English books and has a garden cafe.
I need help with the housekeeping, garden maintenance, and small repair jobs around the house.
I enjoy sewing and crafting as my hobbies as well as being in the garden. I work with textiles and often have small tasks that I need assistance with such as taking apart wooden frames.
