    Description

    Hi Every body !

    I am Pauline, a dynamic young worker who has just moved to the countryside near Nantes in a most bucolic setting.
    Curious about everything, I love meeting new people and especially those who come from far, far away.
    I like to discover new cultures and customs whether traveling the world or welcoming the world to my home.
    I don’t speak English fluently but everywhere I have been I have always managed to share good times with people I have met no matter what language they spoke.

    A few words about the tasks you will be entrusted with:

    First of all, I am looking for a person with whom I can practice my English and have a good time
    Secondly, I would need a helping hand with the daily chores around the house:
    Taking care of my dog when I am not there
    Helping me with meal preparation and cleaning
    So, if you are interested in these tasks, please contact me!


    Salut tout le monde !
    Je suis Pauline, jeune travailleuse dynamique qui vient de s’installer à la campagne près de Nantes dans un cadre des plus bucolique.
    Curieuse de tout, j’adore rencontrer de nouvelles personnes et particulièrement celles qui viennent de très très loin. J’aime découvrir de nouvelles cultures et coutumes que ce soit en parcourant le monde ou en recevant le monde chez moi.
    Je ne parle pas anglais couramment mais partout où je suis allée, j’ai toujours réussi à partager de bons moments avec les gens que j’ai rencontré peu importe la langue qu’ils parlaient.

    Quelques mots sur les missions qui vous seront confiées :
    Je cherche avant tout une personne avec qui je pourrais pratiquer mon anglais et passer de bons moments
    Ensuite, j’aurais besoin d’un coup de main dans les tâches quotidiennes de la maison à savoir :
    S’occuper de mon chien lorsque je ne suis pas là
    M’aider dans la préparation des repas et du ménage
    Alors, si ces missions vous intéressent, contactez-moi !
