Update January 2025: I'll might have space for workawayers in June. If you are interested, please get in touch with me near the end of May. My plans tend to change so I like to be 100% sure that I can host people.
Hello, my name is Kelly. Originally from the US, I have lived in Italy for over 30 years now. I have 3 adult children; two live nearby and one lives in Tenerife. I have been a workawayer (also woofer, SCI/IVS, and similar type things) guest and host for many years.
For the past 15 years, I have been a translator, working from home. The bad thing about working from home is that you (I) get used to the mess and don't see it anymore. The good thing is that I can travel and work.
I enjoy dabbling in arts and crafty sorts of things - none of which I am good at, but I do have fun trying.
I am happy to leave my house with people who are responsible, easy-going, independent, and have a good dose of common sense.
Please note that I cannot help with getting residency here in Italy. It is a total hassle and comes with a bunch of rules and regulations and costs that I don't want to deal with. Thank you for understanding.
We eat all food here. If you have any major allergies or food restrictions, this is not the right place to be.Arten von Hilfe und Lernmöglichkeiten

The house is on the Ancona- Rome train line. The area is safe, the people are friendly, This is a very good spot to take a little break from your travels and recharge your batteries. There are a couple of restaurants that you can walk to. If you are into outdoor sports, there are lots of rock climbers and cavers in the area.
Arbeit
The help requested is:
depends on the weather
but could be something like putting the few pieces of outdoor furniture indoors, giving the house a good clean, cleaning up the garden, cleaning up the kitchen in the evening (dishes and so on.... I have a dishwasher; unfortunately it doesn't empty itself out :) or maybe you will see the house and find something you want to do. I also have a biggish room on the bottom of my house and a staircase that could be painted (base coat white and then go wild with the colors to paint a mural/brighten things up if you like).
Maybe the "best" person would be one who doesn't mind getting their hands dirty, ready to tackle a project (that he/she/they have experience with .... ready to see it and do it (and know how to do it somehow, a "not perfect but that will work"aka MacGyver/Mickey solution mentality works wonders here).
As for the "how many hours per day" stuff: I wrote 20 hours a week. It would probably be less. I am less concerned about how many hours per day and more concerned about getting whatever you decide to do gets done.
At any rate, you will have plenty of time to do your own thing. You may decide you want to go on a trip to Rome, for a few days, that is fine by me.
I don't have any pets or things that must be attended to every single day.
The best type of workawayer for my situation are people who are independent, have a good sense of humor, are able to help out without supervision, and are basically able to figure things out.
Important to note is that we (right now just me) do smoke in the house. AND the house is not freezing but it is not super warm either.Gesprochene Sprachen

Private room, shared everything else. I have towels, sheets and all that jazz.
Was noch ...
Google "Grotte di Frasassi" to get an idea of the surroundings. The train station is about a 10-minute walk from my place. The closest (not the most beautiful) beach is 40 minutes on the train (make sure to buy tix online)

Kann Digital Nomads unterbringen
This is an excellent WA opportunity for digital nomads considering the flexibility of helping out for a few hours at whatever time works best for you. Unlimited wi-fi (unless you are synchronizing your google drive - that sucks up all the wi-fi when it is on - but it's a good excuse to get off the computer and do something else. I have a couple desks that can be moved to wherever you want, plus my work area (a table in the living room) that will be free to use.
Platz zum Abstellen von Camper Vans
I do not have private parking but there is a flat parking area near my house.
Hier sind Haustiere in der Regel willkommen
Maybe. If they are super chill (not barkers for example), don't eat the furniture, and you clean up after them it shouldn't be a problem. Everyone thinks their pets and kids are the best and sweet and no trouble at all but just think about when you are the person on the airplane sitting in front of the sweet kid kicking your chair or the person that has to listen to somebody elses barking dog much of the day (I already have that one). Be objective. I must say that I do love children and pets though.
