Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Palermo is an amazingly beautiful city riddled with art and architecture. Sicily is a fantastically diverse island with so much adventure. The weather is good, we have very short winters. It would also be a great opportunity to learn Italian from the kids, living in Italy learning the culture.

Help
I am looking for a female any age,who can help me with my garden project and help me with my daughter. It would help if you could speak English and German as I would like my daughter to start learning German. Also very importantly to have a driving license to pick her up from school. I teach English to children from the ages of 5-12 Yrs, I will need some help
with this. This will include preparing paint , clay, supporting me with the animals and with the kids.so someone with some knowledge of teaching but in a creative way, using the nature around us.
