    Description

    Hello! We would like to have some help with our home in North of Italy.

    We need someone that is a native FRENCH speaker, because in January I will start a Master Programme in Paris and I need to improve my French!!

    We live in a beautiful house with one dog and some chickens.
    It is a very big house, there is always something to do, either in the house or in the garden. In the garden we do the vegetable garden, we cut the grass, we prune the trees, we clean the chicken coop and other things. At home instead there would be the usual jobs to do: cleaning, washing ... tidying up and so on.

    The house is about 40 minutes from Milan, 30 minutes from Lecco, 40 minutes from Como and Bellagio ... in short, there are many beautiful places to see!

    We are very close to a bus station, 2 minutes by foot.

    I am Building Engineering and Architecture at the Polytechnic of Milan, my mother is an architect and my father a doctor.

    You could learn Italian and visit all the north of Italy.

    As I wrote before there are a lot of great places nearby. Around the house there are many paths for walking or running.

    We will teach you some Italian, although it is very important for me to learn French. If you like the mountains, we can go walking together every now and then. Or canoeing and many other lake sports.
