Help with dog and home projects in Santiago - great location

Details

  Description

  I am 34 years old - I work in finance at an IT company. I live in barrio El Golf in Santiago de Chile. My flat is very conveniently located in an urban hub a few blocks away from a subway station and bus stops. There are many restaurants nearby as well as a big shopping mall. There are also parks and amenities around. This is a great place to stay with easy access everywhere - a safe neighbourhood from which you can explore Santiago and surroundings. You will get a single bedroom with a balcony plus a bathroom which is shared though pretty much used by you only.
  
  I am vegetarian and I am on a journey towards minimalism.
  I love languages, music and dancing.
  
  I am interested in hosting a workawayer because of the cultural exchange. I wish to become a workawayer myself one day too!
  
  I live with my dog Pola. She is a great being and I would like you to take her for walks and play with her. I would also like some help with some random tasks and projects around the house - some cleaning, fix things, maybe do some painting, help me organise and declutter. As I work most of the time, it is likely that some of the home projects take place over the weekend when I am off or in the evenings.
  
  To stay with me, you need to like dogs, be clean and tidy, wishing to eat vegetarian and be respectful of quite time 10pm-8am (aprox). I expect 25 hours a week in return. You will guaranteed have two consecutive days off every week and a max of 5 hours per day. Happy to have a couple of longer sessions in return for 3 consecutive days off if we both agree.
  
  
  I only have one room and really only need one person's help. If you are coming with a friend let me know and maybe I can accommodate. I want to receive people once a month for 2 weeks mid month. Hence, 1 (or 2?) workawayer per month for two weeks. I will need time to recharge in between the experiences.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  You will be in a very nice and well located area in the capital of Chile. From here you can explore the city and go to places. We can also enjoy some activities together. If you play music, that's a plus - I have musical instruments and I love singing. I speak English, Spanish and German. Happy for you to practice your Spanish with me.
