Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
I'm living in Florence, close to city center. You can either walk (20/30 min) or take the bus which is right behind the corner.
Florence offers you so many different things: art, theatre, food, culture.. it's a quite small but beautiful city, you'll enjoy it for sure!
I'm a masseuse and I work either in Florence and in Chianti and would love to meet people from around the world.

Help
I'm living in a new house in florence and I'm really looking for some help in cleaning and gardening the new house, some painting and small building work.
I'm also looking for some help around the house and someone who could take care of my dog while I'm at work.
He's really friendly and since quite old he doesn't need special care or very long walks, although he still enjoys going out at least two times a day.
I also would like someone who can help me keeping the house nice and tidy, as I'm not the most tidiest person in the world :)
My daughter went to a language school and she speaks English, French and German, so it would be very nice to have someone who can let her practice with one or more of these languages.
Please note that since I'm quite busy at the moment, I might not answer immediately at your messages.

Accommodation
We usually have very healthy food meal, mainly vegan but not exclusively. I like to cook my meals every time and I don't like precooked meal.
But sometimes we also like to have some bigger meal with some Italian food or some fancy ethnic food.
Vera, my daughter is very talented in cooking asian food.
For what concern the accommodation, I have only one bathroom and a living room with a confy sofa that can be dedicated to the person who will come and help us. Because all of that, I'm more comfortable in hosting a female helper. thank you for your understanding.
What else ...
I'm quite busy during summer time as I work mainly during hot season and I'm more free in winter and stay more at home.

We had a very nice time while she was with us.
She helped me a lot in many different tasks and never complain about the hard work.
Do not esitate to host her in your family!
I immediately felt very welcome and spent a total of 2 weeks with them in Florence.
The tasks I did were always clearly formulated; the focus was on exchange and togetherness. All in all, just as described in the profile.
I only have good memories… read more
