Description
Hi everyone,
I am Marianne a 47 year old woman from Holland/The Netherlands. I am living together with my dog and 2 cats. At the moment I live in my holiday home until 15th July and I mostly need help in my garden and wooden gardenhouse in Purmerend. I am looking for a non smoking person or couple without animals.
My english and dutch are very good, I learnt some french and german a long time ago and I speak a little Spanish through learning on duolingo.
Kind regards,
Marianne

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
I can help you with your english when that is not your native language, we can talk about our travels, if you like and I can cook dutch meals for you (or other of course). If you like to do things together I will have the time to go with you and show you around or discover new places together.
Help
Most tasks are just simple so you do not need a lot of skills. It is important however that you close each door behind you so the dog and the cat are where I want them to be. Examples of tasks to be done: weeding, weeping the floors (not often) cleaning the windows one time and maybe preparing the move.

Accommodation
The wooden house you will stay in has one double bed in it and a gas stove. There is cold water but showering is possible in my fathers house a few times a week.
What else ...
I need only 5 hours help per day in cleaning and the garden and if you like in cooking so you will have plenty of time to go to nice places for example Hoorn, Purmerend, Zaandam, Alkmaar, Amsterdam. The garden house is in walking distance of a train station Purmerend Overwhere.

Sammie
Sammie is very fond of being close to me and his friends Simba en Woody but he does not like strange people and when he is scared he tends to go home or hide until he is alone or with me again.
