    Description

    We are an easy-going married couple Renata (53) and Bango (65) living in Stobrec near Split. Bango works and I don't work. We've been married for 30 years. Our house is 10 min walk from the beach and 15 min walk from a nearby river Žrnovnica with a beautiful promenade. The climate is very nice with lots of "spring" days during winter and really hot summer. The area is ideal for windsurfing, hiking, running, swimming, diving etc. We are hikers and spend most weekends hiking (but not in summer, it's too hot). Split is a 1700 year old city that offers all in one - Diocletian's Palace (on the UNESCO's list of protected heritage), beautiful nature, night life, museums, entertainment and outdoor and indoor activities. With mountains in the north, islands in the south, small towns and coastal villages close to Split there's plenty to see and do during your stay here. I'm a smoker and we have a cat Žućko.

    We can provide accommodation only in exchange of 3 hours work per day, weekends off. I (Renata) need help with cleaning our apartment (a MUST - at least part of the time) learning Italian (intermediate) or German (beginner) - native speakers only!, gardening, computer (Excel), using technology at work, or any skills you may offer that might be interesting to me.
    We could make a cooking arrangement or the helper could use the kitchen and prepare her/his own meals.
