Spend time here in Como lake, Italy

Details

• 

  Description

  We live on the beautiful lake of Como, in the north of Italy, between the city of Milan and the Alps (we are also very close to the Swiss borders), halfway between Turin and Venice.
  We are a family with 3 (almost bilingual) kids, aged 10, 9 and 5, who understand and also speak English.
  We look for help taking care of them in English (playing, reading to and with them) and help around the house. There can also be some gardening, for those who have it as a passion. We are especially looking for people who share the passions of our kids: drawing, playing guitar/singing, playing different sports.
