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 with our daughter (2009) and/or dog sit our female border collie.
English mother tongue is welcome.
The accommodation will be in a room with private bathroom and organic vegetarian food will be provided if required.
Work hours will be flexible according to the guest needs and our schedule, totally 25 hours/weekly max.
Since we are living in the country side, this is not the right place to party or hanging out in the night.
Of course, during the free time you can reach many beautiful places by bus, train or bike.
