    Help

    We are looking for a simple and cheerful person or couple who can help us with small gardening (pruning, vegetable garden, sowing and harvesting), help at home with small tasks and house cleaning and maybe participate in lunch and dinner. You can also accompany us into town (with our car) to run errands (such as shopping, medical visits etc etc)
    It is essential that the person has a driving license. Much better if they come with their own car to
    visit the beauties of the Umbria region.

    Cerchiamo una persona o una coppia semplice e solare che ci possa aiutare con piccoli lavori di giardinaggio (potature, orto, semina e raccolto), aiutare in casa per piccoli lavori e pulizie domestiche e magari partecipare al pranzo e alla cena. Inoltre potete accompagnarci in città ( con la nostra auto) per svolgere commissioni (come spesa, visite mediche etc etc)
    E' i dispensabile che la persona abbia la patente di guida. Molto meglio se venisse con la propria auto per
    visitare le bellezze della regione Umbria.
