Description
Hello, my name is Zuzana and I’m from Prague, Czech Republic.

I have a background in business and economics, and I’ve worked in customer service, sales, art-field and hospitality. My last full-time job was in a 5-star hotel as a guest relations manager. But somehow I recognized this is not what I want to live anymore. I m more into a slow and simple life in smaller villages. I m a creative soul and I like being closer to nature. Everyone has a interesting life story, I like to listen and share and learning about different cultures.

My personality is calm, but energetic,artistic, emphatic, solid, responsible, kind-hearted and I love humor. I enjoy physical work, I’m sporty, I do yoga and other sports for many years. I m independent, non-judgmental and I value good energy and trust.

I m looking for a place that is warm and sunny, with a calmer pace, but still full of life-where things are more slow, but still alive.

More details about your skills
I have strong practical skills and a good eye for detail. I m experienced in taking care of houses, doing light maintenance, bring new ideas, decorating interiors to create cozy atmosphere. I recently painted my entire apartment myself.

I have family house in the countryside, where I take care of the garden or prepare firewood for the winter etc. I love to be around animals and have a lot of experience with dogs.

I worked as a au-pair many years, in many families, in different countries and in my home town as well. I enjoy to be with children, I like to support their belief in the safety of life and develop their potential.

I also enjoy working with leather and handcrafting items, like belts and collars and leashes for dogs. I love to be with dogs as well. I m surrounded by dogs all my life.

I also love photography, in creative unique way.

I love to prepare healthy dishes, especially with fresh produce, creating nourishing natural food is something that brings me joy.

I m a certified masseuse for sports and other massages.
Age

What else ...
I enjoy living simply/slowly, being outside as much as possible, and learning/see new things every day. I’m a creative and reflective person – I write, draw, I love music, dancing, meditation and meaningful conversations. I value silence as much as having fun. I respect other people’s space ( not only that one outside, but withing oneself). I find satisfaction in the balance.

I find beauty in everyday small things, I love early mornings, walks, dogs, sharing and caring.

I hosted Zuzana for 10 days and I was extremely pleased with the experience. She has a very strong professional ethic and approached every task with care and precision. Her attention to detail and reliability made a big difference, and I could always count on her to carry out any job thoroughly and responsibly.

Communication with her was always… read more

I went to Valeria's home for 10 days, in August/September. Level of her communication is high 10, she is very friendly and warm hearted person. She picked me up at the bus station and after my arrival she showed me everything, she wanted from me. Which was gardening, taking care of the pool and around, doing trash and light cleaning tasks around… read more the house and washing, ironing, feeding cats and that is probably it. Everything was clear and simple.
The room for you is tiny, but cozy, with small office upstairs. The room has a big fan and I used my own internet data (was not problem for me), as I could not catch hers there. Otherwise in the common areas of the house, the internet is everywhere.
The window of my room was located directly above a machine room. The motors there would occasionally switch on and off at irregular times during the night or early morning. If you prefer to sleep with the window or door open for fresh air/during the night, be aware that you may hear some noise from the machine room below, which is open, without door. For people, who are heavy sleepers and not bothered by such things, it is not an issue at all. I told this to Valeria and I think it was slightly better, but of course it is not possible to turn it completely off. :-)) I appreciate that she tried to regulate it.
During my stay, the food arrangement was quite simple, mostly fresh fruits and vegetables were available, with some packaged salami and cheese from the supermarket,pasta and rice, musli, nuts, eggs...If you are expecting a cultural exchange through home-cooked meals or traditional Italian cuisine, I do not have experienced. I guess it was influenced by holidays and timing, as Valeria or me was not home always, so we did not match. Great coffee is always available. :-)
The house is located right next to a four - lane road. Traffic is constant both, during the day and night. So sound of cars can be heard even with the large fence and solid gate. If you travel to hear nothing, this might be considered.
As the house is not located in the city, you will need to use public transport/bus, to get anywhere. Bus station is very close to the house, I just want to mention, that remember, that bus station is in the middle of the road, not on the side. :-) You can reach the city center in about ten minutes. On the way back, the buses can be a bit tricky, they do not run directly back from the center same opposite route, but instead make the full loop of the entire route. This means that while the ride to the center takes less than 10 minutes, the return trip can take up to an hour. As an alternative, it is possible to walk from the center, along the busy road, around 45 minutes. In heat I do not recommend. Please note that there is no Uber or Bolt available in this area, and taxis from the center can cost around 15-20 euros. Therefore it is important to plan your return trip carefully, especially if you are staying out late in the city. If you would like to go to the sea, for a walk or to visit the nearby villages without constantly dealing with the inconvenient bus system, renting a car or a scooter can be a great option, which gives you freedom. Around Catania, there are an incredible number of small villages, that are charming with amazing vibes, where you can spend wonderful time and enjoy local food in little cozy eateries.
So, on the end, I would like to sincerely thank Valerie for her kindness, hospitality, and warm attitude again. She has a beautiful garden with a swimming pool and wonderfully designed living spaces-everything is truly top-notch. I m very grateful for her friendly and calm, welcoming behavior. Both Valeria's kids are great people, very polite and nice to be around.
Every guest's experience is personal and depends on their own needs. This was my own perspective and overall everything was very pleasant, kind and enjoyable.
