The Experience

I have a house just 3.5 miles from the city Centre but also not far from the beautiful countryside that surrounds Manchester. I am requiring 5 hours a day Monday to Friday. Weekends off to explore the area. My Father is elderly and lives a 10 minutes' walk away. He needs 2 hours a day just to help with basic things, cooking and chatting to. 3 hours at my home for cleaning and walking and feeding Tito. Breakfast and evening meal provided.

Diane was a lovely and welcoming host. She communicated what she wanted done clearly and kindly, respected hours/the days off and was willing to be flexible when needed. Her dog Tito is very cute as well. I will and have recommended Diane to other travelers I've met! Til we meet again next time <3

Dianne is incredible woman, she gave me so much. I am happy to have helped her these weeks. I think we have created a true relationship, so I'm sure we keep in touch in the future! And Tito!! I love him so much, he is a beautiful dog, he is so smart and cuddly. I will miss both of them, but I's sure we will meet in the future.

To stay in The Dianne's Being at Dianne's house was a great experience, Dianne is a very intelligent and very kind woman and Tito is a very beautiful dog, taking care of him is a nice experience. I was able to practice my English and Dianne was willing to show me around the city and even introduce me to her friends who are excellent people. I didn't want to leave there, I felt very comfortable.
