I have recently relocated to Marbella and I am seeking work in Housekeeping/Mother's Help/Cleaning. I have 9 years experience within this industry and I have been running my own business in London for the past 3 years. I have some fantastic references and I have worked with children (young and old).

Restaurant critic Morris Bishop had a fantastic night out on Valentine’s Day at Da Bruno’s Sur Mare. Check out what he has to say about this Italian eatery: ”We were two couples enjoying a night out at one of my favourite restaurants in Marbella, and it is probably unfair of us to say that the highlight of our evening was listening to the voice of an 18 year old diva to be, who is still studying in the Malaga Conservatory of music. I say unfair, because the ambience, cuisine, service, and entertainment, were all of such a high standard as to be faultless. I rarely wax lyrical to this extent about an eatery, but this was an evening that will linger in my memory for a very long time.” Click here to read more… * Local acupuncturist One of our readers is looking for recommendation and asks: Hello!
