Description
If you are not from Europe, please provide photos of your visas or personal permission to reside in Europe. We cannot assist with visitors visas.
I am primarily looking for someone to to help in July and August with my daughter, doing crafts,walking and simple yoga exercises . Please read rest of info.
Our family Peter(Sudtyroler) Ana(Canadian)and our youngest daughter Natty now live in the Italian Alps, on a small farm at 1600m on the dolomite mountain range with 8 cows, a dog and 3cats. We previously worked for a NGO in Africa/Tanzania and have had many years experience working with volunteers. We really enjoy meeting people from all the corners of the world. Unfortunately Peter was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, so is unable to keep up with all farm chores. We now do have local workers helping with the cows, However the gardens are primarily Ana's responsibility and she needs help.
Our youngest daughter is intellectually disabled and has epilepsy. She also enjoys company of others and happy to show you around our farm.
