Description
HI! Here Alessandra and Raffaele from Livorno, Italy.
We are looking for a native French speaker.
This Workawayer will reside in an independent room with its own bathroom for about ten days (the length of stay is not fundamental), and will take care of our garden with interventions that do not require specific professionalism, and will help Alessandra in deepening her knowledge of the French language.
These are activities that require a maximum of 3 or 4 hours a day, no more.
In exchange we offer a room with bathroom, and breakfast, lunch and dinner, and take tours around the city to discover the most interesting sides. There is no work on Saturdays and Sundays.
If this proposal is interesting for you, please contact us.
Ciao!
Alessandra + Raffaele
P.S. - We're no longer new to Workaway as we had several excellent experiences in the last 15 years, and there is no problem if references are needed, in addition to those already on this profile.

In Raffael's house, I experienced grandiose hospitality, endless cordiality, friendliness, comfort and living culinary art.
And I appreciate the kind offer to stay a week longer when I needed to fill the gap between two stays.
Raffaele is a person who makes things and situations beautiful.
Thank you.
I got more than I gave

It was a pleasure to spend almost a month at Raffaele and Alessandra's beautiful home in Livorno. The work was very easy, only things that you'd do anyway in your home + stay with a 15 years old while the rest of the family is away :) Alberto is a nice and relaxed boy, it was very easy to get along well with him.

I have had two wonderful Workaway experiences with Raffaele, one in Livorno and one in Sila. The time I spent in Sila was very peaceful and relaxing. The work was easy and enjoyable. The food I ate was delicious. Raffaele is an amazing and creative cook and you will learn a lot from him. His English is great so there is no problem communicating!

Giovane donna piena di energia e di divertimento. Conosce abbastanza bene l'italiano, ed è perfetta per insegnare l'Inglese a ragazzi e adulti. Riesce a trovare spunti interessanti e a esprimere gioia anche in situazioni apparentemente noiose.
Assolutamente consigliabile.
