What's this?

Details

Description
We live in the north-est Italy, between Venice, Padua and Chioggia. More o less it takes 40 minutes to reach Venice with pubblic transportation. Dolomites mountains are located about 2 hours driving and there are a lot of art cities close by.

We have a house and a garden in a 4600 square meters propriety.

We'd like to have some help (2-3-4 weeks) from a person that could take care of the garden and sometime play/teach English to our daughter. We are also running a small business with organic vegetable plants grown into a green house.

English mother tongue is welcome.

The accommodation will be in a big room with private bathroom and organic vegetarian food will be provided.

Work hours will be flexible according to the guest needs and our schedule.

Alberto and Sabrina taught us so much about Italian life and culture. Our stay here was the true definition of a cultural exchange. We went to a big dinner with their extended family who were all incredibly warm and hospitable and made us feel so comfortable.

We had a great time with Alberto and his family. We felt welcomed as soon as we met them and felt totally comfortable in their home. The work was mostly in the garden, helping to plant things, remove weeds, or play with their daughter - it was a good balance, and we were able to choose which part of the day we wanted to work. They introduced us to… read more
