Description
Hello! we had so many wonderful experience and we love to host! summertime is more flexible but we still need for help. We need help starting from June 1st, we will be very busy and we'll need help with our 7 years old daughter and our 2 years old dog Luna. It could be possible to be asked to move for a period from Palermo to a small island 1 hour and an half from Palermo where the grandma has a nice and cosy house and where we love to spend sometime in summer or to be asked to stay in Palermo with the dog while the family is away.
If you are looking for a colourful crowded full of life experience this is the right experience for you! If you need relax silence and solitary place maybe it’s better to look for something different! ☺️Me and my husband Lorenzo are the parents of this large family composed by our daughters of previous relationship: Elena 24(not living with us) Lavinia 16(visiting during the week) Viola 13and our common youngest baby girl Mira 7 in October always living with us. We live in our just restored home that's on the last floor of and old building on a beautiful small square in the old part of the town and we love it with the antiques monuments and markets and the long walk on the seaside. Lorenzo is an architect and he works the whole day. I run my own activity and I’m not at home for most of the day. Our daughters go to school in the morning then some of us come back in the afternoon and we are all together for dinner. we need someone playing with Mira in English, during the afternoons and one night so that we can go out and walking our 2 years old dog Luna.Types of help and learning opportunities
