    Description

    Hello beautiful people ! I am Nadia , a mother of 3 children living in the beautiful foothills of the pyrenees , about 40 km north of Carcassonne.

    I am looking for people to give me a hand with little tasks around the house, main things right now will be cleaning the garden, building stone walls and build a bbq area and in autumn I need to do some work on the house too. At the moment am having a lot of work with my business so not so much available with my time that is why I would prefer to have a couple or 2 or 3 people that can entertain eachother. Would be nice to have some help with cooking too .

    I love meeting new people, I prefer deep conventions that chitchat, not too much into talking actually:) I love my space and quite time and enjoy calm and peaceful people. I am an omnivore but don't mind to cook vegetarian, vegans am not sure if this is a place for you but your welcome if you feel to try .

    I live in a beautiful place in the foothills of the pyrenees sins 8 years now . There is a really nice community of people around here and cool events in the summer, they are amazing walks in the mountains, nice lakes and rivers to swim , caving and climbing spots , hot springs..


    My main activity is a fire oven pizza/coffee shop that I run a few days a week in a old stone building I renewed and where I built an oven in the center of the village, it became a nice social place were people meet around a pizza and a local beer . My goal is to use the maximums of local and organic ingredients , there are a lot of small organic and short circuit farmers in the area.

    2 or My children are big now(15 and 18) so only at home during the holidays.

    Get in touch if your interested and we can meet or chat by phone to figure out if we are made for each other:)
