  Description

  *UPDATED* S.o.s. Looking for the perfect Nanny and a ‘copilot’ 🤣 in beautiful Apulian countryside
  
  We are a funny and not too ordinary family living in the countryside of Polignano a mare, (Apulia, south of Italy). We love nature and we care about respecting the environment, we live with one amazing dog and many cats outdoor. I have been living for a long time studying and working in the north of Italy, Spain and Uk. Our kids are 6 years old and 4years old and they always smile -almost always :-D
  At the moment I need someone to stay with me helping organizing the house and playing with the kids. Sometimes I need help at the bar (we own a bookbar in town).
  You would have your own bedroom (could be shared with another volunteer) and 2days off ;-)
  
  Please, be our Mary Poppins and/or my copilot !!!

  Help

  We need one Volunteer for a long stay (at least a few months) to help basically staying with the kids and me while I am organising and doing stuffs at home, shopping around or working, for 4-5hours per day 5 days a week. Helping with house keeping would be also appreciated :) You will always be both with me and the kids in the helping hours. And of course speaking English with us, I think this would be a great benefit for the kids, although their young age.
  We also need a second volunteer with DIY skills who could help with general maintenance, refurbishing the old house, and small eco projects. And if you like gardening you will find lots of things to do!
  Hours for babysitting from 3 to 8 pm. More or less..we will see and of course we will choose together the best solution for everyone :)
  Driving licence is needed.

  When available, You would have a bedroom with a double bed. If not, During summer we set up a tent in the garden, with mattress, pillow, sheets and blanket. At the moment I am very busy at work so I can't always cook for us, but I would provide food for volunteers and they could use kitchen whenever they want.
