  Descripción

  HI!
  
  My name is Fanni, a dominican/spaniard that studied fine arts and now has a little guest house in the Colonial Zone of Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic.
  
  I started this project two years ago and is going pretty well but I am a little bit stuck as I have to do everything by myself.
  The house is a quite place, it has a nice patio and I would like to improve the spaces with more art and plants.
  
  I'm going out of town for 3 weeks in February and I need someone to take care of it, who can check in, check out, prepare the rooms, check that everything is always ok and be a good reference for the guests.

  Intercambio cultural y oportunidades de aprendizaje

  The house is in the Colonial Zone, close to all the main historical places but also in a very familiar neighbourhood.
  
  I am Dominican and although I have only lived in the country for a couple of years I am able to share everything I know about Dominican history and way of life (bachata included) with travelers. In addition, there are some social/cultural/artistic movements in the area that may be of interest to assistants.
  
  I love languages ​​so it would be interesting to share the house with someone who speaks another one.

  Ayuda

  I would like help with
  - check-in and check-out's
  - assisting guests
  - clean and prepare the rooms
  - keep the common areas clean during the day
  - take care of the plants
  
  Ideally, I would like you to arrive at the end of January so we can share a couple of weeks and I can show you how everything works. It's not a difficult job and I don't plan to have many guests in the house while I'm away.
  
  The working hours can change a lot as it depends on guest arrivals, it would never be more than 3 hours a day as there are not so many things to do, but you have to be available almost all the time (I mean there are not fixed hours) beacuse check-ins can be at any time during the day (we also have a lock box so you can leave the key there for the guest, but you have to be available in case there is a problem).
  
  There would be a woman coming every Monday for the general cleaning of the house, but in the other days you will have to check that everything is in clean and in order. It is very very important that the house is tidy and clean.
  
  I need a very responsible, and autonomous person, ideally over 25 years old and with some experience in similar positions.

  Alojamiento

  The accommodation is in a house that used to be a hostel. Now I live there and rent the other 4 rooms.
  The helper/s will have a private room with two twin beds.
  As the room is next to mine, please respect the sleeping time as you can hear almost everything from the other room.
  
  In the house there are a kitchen, a dinnning room, that we use mostly for working, and a big patio with some plants. It is a 5 rooms house, I live in one and rent the other ones. Four of the rooms share 2 bathrooms ( one of them with hot water in the shower).
  
  As it is a little hostel, the visits are not allowed, the space has to be always tidy and clean and the guests respected.
  
  The food is not included, as I don´t really cook and my schedules for having lunch/dinner change so much the helpers will have their meals by their own. Close to the house are several "comedores" where you can have the typical dominican meal by 200 pesos ( less than 3$), The travellers can also cook in the house but the fridge is not very big and there is not a lot of space in the kitchen so please don´t buy a looot of food ( the supermarket is close!).
