Description
Hi, I'm Marie, I'm 70, I live in an old renovated farm in the Monts du Lyonnais (50km far from Lyon), which is reachable easily by bus.
I need some help to work in the garden and make some general maintenance : right now, I have work rather for men or a couple.
Work is pretty flexible, around 4 hours per day and free week-end.

Housing is in my house, in individual room (couples in double bed room), with a private bathroom.
Internet access.
I have been doing ceramic and potery for about 15 years and I would be glad to share this passion with you !

Celina and Claas are very nice, respectful, and discreet people.
It's very easy to live with them.
We only spent a week together, but it was very enjoyable: we had good discussions and also played a few games of papayou!
They are hardworking and did their best to complete the work assigned, even though their health wasn't at its best.
