    Description

    I am a single mum, my name is Michela and I am 45 years old. My daughter’s name is Camilla and she is 11 years old. We live in Bergamo, a city about 50 km from Milan, in an excellent position to visit cities (starting from Bergamo itself, not very big but delicious), mountains, or lakes (Lake Iseo is half an hour by car and the wonderful Lake Garda is 45 minutes away). We have a four years old Maltese dog named Luna.
    I work as an educator in a retirement home for the elderly, I like the mountains, I love reading and meet friends.
    Camilla is a very smart and polite girl, she likes to dance, to draw, to play board games and to make funny video with her friends. On September she will start to have piano lessons.



    Mi chiamo Michela, ho 45 anni e sono una mamma single. Mia figlia si chiama Camilla e ha 11 anni. Abitiamo a Bergamo, una città a circa 50 km da Milano, in un'ottima posizione per visitare città (a partire da Bergamo stessa, non molto grande ma deliziosa), montagne, oppure laghi (lago d'Iseo a mezz'ora di macchina e il meraviglioso lago di Garda a 45 minuti). Abbiamo una cagnolina maltese di quattro anni di nome Luna. Lavoro part-time come educatrice in una casa di riposo per anziani, mi piace la montagna, amo leggere e incontrarmi con gli amici.
    Camilla è una bambina molto sveglia ed educata, le piace ballare, disegnare, giocare ai giochi da tavolo e creare video divertenti insieme alle sue amiche. A settembre inizierà un corso di pianoforte. Da grande le piacerebbe fare la stilista e ora sta imparando a utilizzare la macchina da cucire!

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    We are looking for a FRENCH or ENGLISH native speaker WA of any nationality to teach the language to Camilla. Workawayers can learn Italian from us or can go to Italian courses in their free time.

    We CANNOT help to have italian citizenship!

    Cerchiamo un WA madrelingua FRANCESE o INGLESE per poter insegnare la lingua a Camilla. I workawayers potranno imparare la lingua italiana da noi o frequentare un corso di italiano nel loro tempo libero.

    Non possiamo aiutare per avere la cittadinanza italiana!!

    Camilla goes to school from Monday to Saturday from 8.00 am ti 1.00 pm. Every two week-end she stays with her father from Friday night to Sunday, and also one day a week she goes to sleep at his home. We are in good relationship.

    We ask the workawayer to stay with her when she comes back from School, to prepare a meal , to play and teach her some French, English or Spanish for four days a week. We also ask a little help in housekeeping. On the other days the workawayer will be free to manage her/his day as she/he likes, we simply ask to be polite and to keep her/his room tidy, without leaving socks and dirty dishes around the house! We ask some little help to hoover or to put away dishes from the dish machine...
    We would like her/him to feel part of the family and spend time with us, showing her/Jim the city and accompanying her/him to visit the surroundings.


    Camilla va a scuola dal lunedì al sabato dalle 8.00 alle 13.00. Ogni due week-end rimane con suo padre da venerdì sera a domenica, e anche un giorno alla settimana va a dormire a casa sua. Siamo in buoni rapporti.

    Chiediamo al Workawayer di prepararle un pasto al rientro da scuola, di giocare con lei e insegnarle un po' di francese, inglese o spagnolo (la lingua madre del Workawayer). Chiediamo anche un piccolo aiuto nelle faccende domestiche.

    Negli altri giorni il workaway sarà libero di gestire la propria giornata come vorrà, chiediamo semplicemente che sia educato e che tenga in ordine la propria camera, senza lasciare calzini e piatti sporchi in giro per la casa!
    Ci piacerebbe che si sentisse parte della famiglia e che trascorresse del tempo insieme a noi, mostrandogli la città e accompagnandolo a visitare i dintorni.
