Description
we need help with the house, we are interested in practicing foreign languages and sharing italian knowledge.
please apply only if english, spanish or french is your native language and if you are over 30 ( younger only if you have already experienced living on your own, due to unfortunate experiences we had to set this limit).
thank you!
hello, I live in the countryside with my 16 year old very ‘grumpy’ son Dodo (Edoardo) and our birman cats. We have a garden and a little vegetable garden, by the river Adda. We live in Canonica d'Adda, 30km est Milan where I work in marketing and sales (biotechnology field). Canonica is a small quiet village but all facilities are there: pharmacy, supermarket, library, gym, restaurant, pizzeria and so on. Milan and Bergamo are reachable by public transportation, and Treviglio is the closest. We like to cook, also veggie menue, to do outside activity like walking and cycling, we organize parties at home and often visit friends. My family lives nearby. Dodo is quite independent, he speaks english, spanish and is learning french. My cats are very gentle and my boyfriend, who spends most of time with us, also speaks fluent english and understands spanish and french. Feel free to ask any question!

we can share our passion for italian food and culture, and teach you some italian of course, there are also italian classes for foreigners at walking distance october to may. our house is filled with books (IT EN FR) and books can be borrowed for free from the public library too. we can teach cooking and cat ethology. we have been travelling quite a lot and we have a good knowledge of different cultures and approaches to daily life. please note that during summer time we normally do not spend much time at home, we may therefore not stay as many days together as in the different seasons of the year. when none of us is at home, we offer accomodation but not meals. when we are not at home in summer, we may host more than one workawayer if you want to spend holidays in the area with a friend. school in italy is closed mid june to mid sept.
Aide
We need help with daily activities, wake up and breakfast for my son (in order to make sure he is off in time for school), taking care of cats and cleaning/reordering the house like a family member. you may do gardening too.
It is very important for us that our guests can independently manage and respect the house, be eco-friendly (no useless waste of water, light, paper, food etc) and be very careful with the cats as they are not allowed outside.
Please note that my son is a teen, in full bloom, it is a challenge to manage him and have him his tasks done at times. He is very creative, active, independent, but he dislikes rules.
We are willing to teach italian, but it is important for our son to learn other languages, so when he is at home we prefer not to speak full time italian with our guests.Langues

private room and shared kitchen, living rooms and bathroom (though we maily use the other bathrooms in the house).
we cook and offer meals when shared with us. when we are not at home, or we do not have meals together, you need to take care of your own food and meals (there is a supermarket nearby)Autres infos...
there are several activities ongoing in the villages on the Adda river, specially in summer, or you can move to Milan, Bergamo or even farther towns you may reach by train.
the area is very interesting for historical and natural reasons (Crespi and Venetian walls of bergamo are Unesco site, Leonardo sites, early '900 power plants, ...). there are many paths for walking, running or cycling along the river nearby.Informations complémentaires

Possibilité d’accueillir les digital nomads
when I am not travelling for my job, I mainly work from home. I just need to go to the office in Milan for meetings once or twice a week. Our wifi is suitable for any kind of need (webinars, meetings, big file downloads). It can be cabled too. There are tables around the house or in the garden, many plugs and the environment is very quiet. In the village where we live there is a post office, copistery shop (but I have plenty at home) and pc repair. A scanner, printer (but please take care of the ink if you plan to print frequently), headphones, loudspeakers available too.
Espace pour garer des vans
Please ask by message and I will find out how long campervans can be parked in the street in front of my house.
