  We live in Rome and looking for a help with the kids from 15-20th of June until 15th of July at the seaside.

  Help

  We are looking for a nice girl, who should take care especially of our girl aged 8 years old. We would like to find an affectionate "elder sister" more than just a baby sitter. We had several experiences with workawayers and aupairs in the past and we are still in touch with all of them.
  We would prefer an English Mother Tongue person as the children are used to be spoken in English, willing to play and stay with kids, rich of enthusiasm, imagination and creativity.
  We will be remote working from the seaside and would need someone to stay with the girl during working hours mainly at the beach (we have rented sunbeds and umbrella).
  Only light housekeeping would be much appreciated (as you would be at your own house).
  
  Weekends are always free and evenings are free except one per week.
