    Description

    I am Mimma, a 55 year old woman, I have been working in a healthcare facility for 32 years and I have a small B&B at home. I live with Stefano, an eighteen year old in foster care and I am part of an association that organizes summer holidays for Ukrainian minors in Sardinia and I myself am a host family.
    I am also part of the ProLoco of Ploaghe, I like to volunteer.
    My parents live in the same town as me and so does one of my three brothers with his family. I love traveling. A few years ago I hosted some people in my house who did some work in exchange for accommodation/food, both I and they had a good time

    Io sono Mimma, una donna di 55 anni, lavoro in una struttura sanitaria da 32 anni e in casa ho un piccolo b&b. Vivo con Stefano , un diciottenne in affido familiare e faccio parte di una associazione che organizza le vacanze estive per minorenni ucraini in Sardegna e io stessa sono famiglia ospitante.
    Faccio anche parte della ProLoco di Ploaghe, mi piace fare volontariato.
    I miei genitori vivono nel mio stesso paese e anche uno dei miei tre fratelli con la sua famiglia.
    Amo viaggiare.
    Alcuni anni fa ho ospitato in casa mia delle persone che in cambio di alloggio/vitto hanno svolto dei lavori, sia io che loro ci siamo trovati bene

    I have a garden of about 100 square meters where the dog and the cat live.
    My garden has not been cured lately, I need someone to clean it from bad weeds and remove the soil, also the accommodation of the dog and the cat wants to be fixed.
    The help I need at home is related to our cohabitation and household chores to be carried out during the hours I work (washing dishes, drying linen, cleaning various).

    I will require a minimum commitment of 3 hours of work per day for 5 days or 5 hours for 3 days until the completion of the cleaning of the courtyard
    I need help starting immediately and I can host until 20 November.
