  Description

  Hi everyone!!
  Are you a patient and sunny person? I need a companion for my 79-year-old mother, who is completely independent but widowed. A sociable, kind person with a touch of melancholy. She was a kindergarten teacher and then for years a writer. Now she has lost her memory a little and needs new stimulation and some company. She lives in a big house facing the sea in the same municipality where my family lives. I am looking for an au pair in exchange for board and lodging. If you are interested, please write to me. Thank you
  
  Other:
  he summer season is quite finish and I am searching for a help for the last 20-25 days. I need someone to serve the breakfast (8.30-10-30) or to serve dinner +cleaning kitchen. We ask for flexibility because we are not an hotel. I Need also a help for gardening and fix everything before the closure for Winter. I can provide hospitality also for a couple of people if they can stay in a double room. I will pay 8€/hour until the end of the tourism season.
  
  If you are interested please write me, I'd like to have a deep conversation with you.
  Thank you in advance

  Hi, my name is Paola, I am a farmer and a host in summer in my Agriturismo in Calabria region. This is a very beautiful place in front of the sea where, in autumn and winter, I take care of 2000 olive trees and in summer I host tourits. Me and my sister are involved in it, she prepares breakfast and me the dinner. You will love the calm and the beauty of the place: we have just 6 rooms, no TV, sea view, trees all around for 45 ha.
  I need a help during the tourism season, mostly august (20-30 days).
  What we do:
  We have 6 rooms and most of the guests make long stays (more than 3 days). we don't do daily room cleaning. No restaurant. Only people that stay at the Agriturismo can eat during the dinner. I cook and I need a help to serve dinner and to clean the kitchen for about 4 hours/day. We need flexibility because we are not an hotel and responsability.
  During the day there a lot of things to do but the most pleasant is going to the sea or read a book in the silence of the countryside. If you are without car you can walk (you will need a cup and good feets! sea is at almost 2 km!) or take our rides because there are always some of us coming and going. The nearest village is 2,5 km away.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  The Farm holiday (summer time) is a touristic place for families during the summer, very calm and peaceful. I can share my knowledge about local food, we can go together to buy food and vegetables to the local market and visit local farmer to share their knowledge about wild herbs, honey etc. or visit some beautiful places as the ruins of ancient Magna Graecia, we can swim together in the free time. I speak english, french and portugues (spanish a bit). We are very friendly and respectful people, I think you will enjoy.
