  Description

  Hello. I live in a beautiful medieval village in the Charente, France. I have a huge love and appreciation for nature and animals.
  I am having an operation on my hand in early November and will need help with my animals and general help with shopping, cooking, cleaning. Nothing heavy or difficult. I have a three year old large, strong, Grand Griffon, Freyja. I adopted her some months back and she is the sweetest, most gentle dog ever. However she is frightened of many things especially men. She’s a hound so follows her nose which can cause her to pull when out walking. She is my main area I need help with. I am looking for a female, animal lover with a really good sense of humour and common sense. I have a car you could use and two living rooms so that you could have plenty of personal time. I would need you to arrive by the end of October to have time here with Freyja in particular before my operation which will probably be a day patient or overnight maximum. I’m not sure how long you would be needed following the operation but I would guess three weeks. Please feel free to ask for any other info you need. Thank you.

  There are many amazing lakes, chateau, villages, good restaurants. The coast being approximately 1.30 hours away. Futurascope, oradour sur glane, Bordeaux and Cognac all within easy distance for a day out. I am a relaxed person and am passionate about many things. I love to socialise and I love to laugh. I am respectful and hard working. I enjoy good food, good wine and the sunshine. I respect and love animals and nature is my passion. I am lucky to have amazing family and friends. I believe I am quite intelligent and I do not appreciate people who are looking to take advantage of others.
