Description
I'm a single guy divorced and my kids are with their mother. I work a lot, sometime at home, sometime away, and I need to maintain my house and garden nice and clean.
My house is quite big with a garden and swimming pool, in a small village, just in front of a river. It's located just near a quite big town (Villefranche) and 30km from the big city of Lyon, 2h from the Alpes. -

Help
I just need some help to maintain my garden and house nice and clean. Also maybe some iron laundry. Some plumbing work can also be done as I've started to create a new shower. I would also appreciate some cooking.

Fabien facilitates communication and is hospitable. It makes things much easier and is appreciated. He made sure to speak French, and even though we didn't share common points of view, it was enriching to get to know him and how a true French person lives.
