Description
I live in Barga, a beautiful Tuscan town.
I am semi retired and live with my two black Labradors in a comfortable house. The house has modern amenities, air con, Wi-Fi. and walking distance to the local swimming pool, cafes, bars and restaurants within a few minutes.
We are an hour from Pisa and even less to the Italian Riviera. Local bus goes to Lucca and onwards to Florence. The Italian trains are excellent and ideal for exploring.
I speak fluent English and Italian, French well and conversational Spanish. My son, who lives locally, speaks Fluent English,Italian and Spanish.
I have recently moved house and my previous home needs to be cleared out, cleaned and put in order ready to be sold so lots of cleaning packing and throwing away. I would like help a few hours a day, 5 days a week.
I’m looking for someone who is clean and tidy, respectful and happy to help.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Tuscany is the cradle of art and every town at every turn presents art in all it's forms, architecture, music (Puccini was born in Lucca) and visual art. There is an interesting Scottish/American/Latin American connection in Barga with many ,many people immigrating to these countries in the 1800's.

Michael made me feel right at home. He cooked fabulous food and took me to see the surroundings and near by towns. I will miss Michael and his beautiful dogs Bonnie and Clyde!
