    Description

    Hello,I'm Paola, I live in Rubano, 4 kilometres from Padova in an area close to Venice, Verona and Vicenza in the North of Italy.
    We are surrounded by hills called Colli Euganei.The sea is only 1 hour by car and so the mountain. I'm an English teacher at the primary school. I live with my daughter and 3 dogs. A very small one, and 2 medium size. Pepe is a small maltese.He s a little bit shy but very good dog,
    Maya, one of the 2 medium size dog, loves running , eating and playing with the ball. She 's very affectionate. Molly, the third one, is sometimes scared because of her first 3 years of her life in a shelter but she's very affectionate and lovable, she always wants snuggles and hugs.

    I'm looking for a pet loving girl that can help me with walking the dogs, feeding them and a little help with household chores like vacuuming, hanging out the laundry, taking the dishes out of the dishwasher. An English or Spanish speaking girl would be preferable even if a French one would be fine too
