  Description

  We are looking for someone to help us with our daughter, our dog or our garden while enjoying Bonn!! Few words about our family: Giorgio, the host dad, is Italian. He is a musician, a ski instructor, loves mountains and is outgoing. He is very social, has lots of friends and talks to everyone. Especially in summer, he loves having friends over. He has a good sense of humor and loves dancing with his daughter. Giorgio has his own company in music and information technology. He works from home, from his studio. Giorgio brings Sofia at school and goes to fetch her at 3PM from school every day.
  
  Anna is Italian as well. She is very open minded and is caring towards anyone. She enjoys a quiet life, spending time with Sofia and reading. She loves romantic movies, though only the ones with happy endings. She speaks fluently English and at a reasonable level also German.
  Anna works at DHL in Bonn. She leaves the house at 8 and returns at 7 most of the weekdays. When she gets home, she enjoys spending time with the family.
  
  Giorgio and Anna have been together since several years and have lived in Germany, in The Netherlands, in Italy and now since May 2020 they are living in Bonn, Germany. They have been married for 7 years. They frequently travel to visit friends and family and often have people staying at their place. They enjoy company and food.
  
  Sofia is almost 9. She likes to sing, dance and is a bit shy at first, but once she feels comfortable, she is outgoing. She laughs easily, has her opinions and speaks her mind. She likes going with the bike, she enjoys reading, arts and crafts and anything that needs some thinking (quiz, treasure hunts, adventures). She likes to go to the theatre to see shows, musicals and circus. Sofia speaks Italian, English and German.
  The dog Soky is a small mixed race, full of energy but kind to people.
  The garden is small without trees, it needs some simple work regularly.
  
  The weekends are spent with the family, doing children activities or sometimes travelling. Vacations are usually spent with family, in the mountains or at the sea.

  Help

  Apart from taking care of our daughter, our dog or gardening you would be asked to do some light house work, such as grocery shopping once in while, clean your own room, tidying the play area, packing dishwasher and clearing the table. Cooking is needed maybe once a week, while normally you would prepare healthy snacks (fruit-vegetables) for Sofia.
