Description
Hello !
We are an active outdoors international family (Swiss-Italian-English) living on beautiful family run wine and dairy farm near Florence, Italy. I am one of the owners and make our wine while my husband is a carpenter abd the creative side of the couple:) We share the large property and gardens with my mother, my sister, her family as well as various cats and dogs, cousins, aunts and all our friends who come in and out. It's an idylic family home that we want you to enjoy, be a part of and of course, come back to visit.
We are looking for some help to take care of our three amazing boys, aged 11, 9 and 5 years old. You must love the countryside, being outside and be a strong swimmer – we have a swimming pool and it’s where the children spend most of their time in the summer. You will have your own room in an independent apartment with my sister’s au pair. We eat our meals together using fresh produce from the region. The general rule of thumb is that you help when children are around or sick, help with the garden, water the plants etc. the most important thing is that you get to do this in a setting that is full of life and beauty! A driver's license with manual shift experience is essential as we live in the country.
Some housework may be required (tidying up the children's bedroom, toys, helping out with the laundry, unloading the dishwasher).
As for languages spoken at home, its our own special mix of Italian, English, German and French. You name it, we speak it!
We look forward to meeting you and we are happy to answer your questions.
