Details

  • Description

    Description

    We are a Swiss couple (Erika 52 and Markus 55) with 2 adult daughters and a grandchild. Our daughters have already moved out but visit us regularly. We live in a large house with a garden, pool and 20 turtles. We enjoy hiking, biking and skiing. We could use some help around the house and garden as we both work high percentages. Our home is located in western Switzerland in a village which is easily accessible by public transportation. Bern is about 40 minutes away and Fribourg about 15 minutes.
