    Description

    hello everybody. I am Nino from Venice, after working for many years as a hotel manager i decided to buy a house and make my own home and we need some help to renovate this house in center of Venice near San Marco.
    I am married and have 2 sons. I like to share my experience with other .I speak English and bit of Spanish and France.
    our house is in sestiere (Castello) and it is just few minute from san marco square. Near our house there are very nice bars and coffee where you can enjoy daily life. The help we need is cleaning and fixing doors and windows and giving color to the walls and take our dog for the walk and we need baby sitter to take care of our 2 kids. we need also who can fix hydraulic electric person who can fix small things.Note that we can not take couples or families.
    We welcome social animals and hard workers or simply positive people who can bring here a wave of good energy!
    House Rules
    How many hours will you help?
    You will volunteer for 5 hours a day for 5 days a week. About the hours: Here we take work seriously, that means we are working, not talking, for that you have all the rest of the day we know what it means 5 hour real work if you play around time will be longer.!
    Your free time...
    The two free days you get all the day off, but can not be taken consecutively so you work 5 day and you get one day off.
    Other things to have in mind:
    when you have day off we do not serve food at all and we ask you to go out and see the city and come back for sleep.
    We allow for workawayers to drink and smoke in the house. Obviously we do not tolerate any excess! And needless to say we do not provide alcohol or tabaco. we give lanch and breakfast not dinner,
    no student who comes to venice for stady .

    We hope to hear from you soon!

    All the best, Nino
