Help in housekeeping
Report
Location: Gambara, Italy
I don't have a special project, I just find nice and interesting to host a student or a young traveller to give her an opportunity to visit Italy, to go to school here or to make new experience, because I really enjoy to share our cultures.
I'd prefer to be contacted by Japanese girls because I am a woman living alone and I'd like to learn a little Japanese.
What I can offer is a private room in a two story house (not big, but not very small), to share the common areas of the house (kitchen, bathroom (no bathtube, only shower) and living room), to share ingredients and tools for cooking (I'm not usually at home at dinner and lunch time, so I won't be able to offer prepared meals) and to share my time talking in Italian or in English or learning something about her language or culture, showing her the nearest cities, doing activities together, I'd like to be a friend more than an host.
My house is located in a village in the countryside but only 30 km far from Brescia, it is connected by bus to the city. I can also bring the voluteer at the nearest train station by car, everytime this is needed, when I'm not busy.
In exchange I just need some help in the current housekeeping: cleaning, dusting, moping, sweeping, tidying up, washing dishes, ironing, occasionally preparing meals.
There won't be a fixed number of "work" hours a day, and the guest won't have to "work" every day, so she can make as many daily trips as she want sor even longer trips (up to 5 days long).
I will be content as the whole house will be cleaned one time a week (she will decide if she wants to do all in a day or a little day by day) and if she does the daily chores (washing dishes and sweeping) once a day when she is not on a trip.
I think it's a really good chance to spend cheap holidays in Italy, as a tourist, or a cheap student accomodation.
Just imagine to come to Italy for pleasure or for studying and being hosted by a friendly aunt and helping her in the chores as a caring niece :)
Please feel free to ask me any question you want, we can accomodate things if you let me know your preferences.
I'm searching for someone who will stay at least three weeks. I'd prefer longer staying over shorter ones.
Requirements will be: to be tidy, honest, kind and not a very loud person, and to not to came home very late at night because I will be too worried if you do.
In the house there is a washing machine you can use as you want, and other electric appliance (like fridge, hair-dryer, (no dishwasher, sorry)) but at the moment there is no Internet connection. I think you can find Internet connection at the public library, there are public wifi hotspots at no-distance but outdoor, and we can arrange some usage at my parents house if you have unespected needs.
Please note that it is a no-smoking house and, although there aren't pets in the house, my parents have some, so it is likely they sometimes come at my home.
