  Description

  My name is Nelly, I am 45 years old, and I live with my soon-to-be 20-year-old son in a beautiful garden apartment, about 30 minutes by train from Zurich, in a rural area. We are open-minded, easygoing, and always happy to meet new people.
  
  I am involved in animal welfare and share my home with four cats, a rescue dog from Hungary, and a rescue Puppy from Bulgaria.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  We don’t live far from Zurich, a city full of amazing things to see and do. The lake, the mountains, beautiful hiking trails, theaters, concerts, clubs—Zurich has so much to offer!
  
  I’d be happy to go on trips together, and I can also show you where different communities meet in Zurich if you’d like to explore on your own. There are plenty of opportunities to connect with people and experience new things.
  
  I also love meeting people from different cultures and exchanging languages—so I’m excited to get to know you! 😊

  Help

  Since I teach in the mornings, I would love some support with my animals and around the house. This includes walking, playing, cuddling, and, if you enjoy cooking, maybe even preparing a meal now and then (we can take turns, of course!).
  
  I will be at home, and my son (a student) will also be around from time to time. You won’t be alone with the animals! 😊 I am a singer, actress, and producer, and I’d love to share this exciting time with someone who enjoys being around animals.
  
  
  What would be great:
  ✅ Experience with dogs & Cats
  ✅ Patience & understanding for shy or anxious dogs
  ✅ Help with feeding, playing & early puppy training sessions
  ✅ Comfortable around cats (since I have four!)
  ✅ Reliability & the ability to work independently
  
  just a bonus, not a requirement :
  
  (If you enjoy riding and have some experience with horses, my brother would also appreciate some help with his horse — riding, mucking out the stable, and so on. A driver’s license would be a plus, but it’s not a must.)

  Accommodation

  A cute guest room is available for you, equipped with a desk, a wardrobe, and a comfortable bed. You'll have your own cozy space to relax and feel at home.
  
  There’s always plenty of food in the house! If you enjoy cooking, that’s a bonus—we can take turns preparing meals together. I’d love to share good food and nice moments with you. 😊

• 

  What else ...

  The bus to the airport or to Bülach train station, where you can catch trains to Zurich City, is just around the corner.
  
  I’d be happy to cover a multi-ride ticket for you so you can easily get into the city and explore. 😊
