    Description

    We are looking for someone who can help us with our teen agers homeworks (or just practice english or spanish with them), gardening, home decorating and painting (with chalk paint or similar)some chalk paint works in Tuscany, italy

    We are a family from Florence, Italy. We live 10 minutes far from the city center (easily reachable by bus or bycicle). We have two teen agers (16 years old girl and 13 years old boy).

    We live in a nice and quiet block (South Florence), close to shopping areas, restaurants, pizzerias, gyminic centers, movie theaters, swimming pools, discos and bars for youngs (some places ask green pass in order to enter now because of covid 19).
    We would host you in a comfortable apartment with its own kitchen, bedroom, sitting room and small outdoor. The apartment is the one we would like to decorate with your help . You would have access to the garden where we would need your help in gardening (which is my 77 years old mother garden).
    We live in an apartment in the same building so we can have meals together (but you can also use your private kithcen of course if you prefer) or do anything together.
    We wolud like to have you here in order to help our teenage kids in their homeworks (not everyday and only if needed), and talk to them in a different language (preferably english or spanish because they study them at school). We would also love if you can help us in doing gardening, in elder companionsheep if needed (my mom is a 77 years old and lives close to us, and sometimes she needs help in keeping the house clean), and help us decorate furnitures in the apartment where we will host you.
