Description
Hi, I am Elisabetta (34) and togheter with my husband Roberto (37) we live in the countryside near Turin with our sons Marcello (4yo) and Adriano (2yo). We decided to move in Susa Valley few years ago to enjoy nature. We both work as naturalist guides: Roberto organizes hiking tours in the Alps, especially with foreigners while I work mostly in environmental education with kids.

Help
Our son Marcello is 4 years old and his brother Adriano is 2 year old, so for first we need some help with the babies, especially in the afternoon when they are not at school so it's really important to create a good relation with them (they are very cute and quiet guys, so it's not difficult) but it's really better to have some experience with kids because they are little babies and they only speak italian. Moreover we need some help in doing all the things that our big house needs, some examples: to water plants, to collect fruits and vegetable from the vegetable garden, to do jam and other product with fruits or wild plants, to seed new plants, to cut the grass, to clean the house, the common areas, the room that we rent to tourists and the garden, to cook for everybody and to tidy up after meals. We do often some big building job like painting, putting tiles or build some stuff in the garden, we always have a lot of ideas to complicate our life and we are very open to everybody's new ideas.

Accommodation
Private room with private toilet. We host workawayers in a double room with terrace. We have two rooms and we rent the other one (a four-place room) to tourists as a guest house. There is also a small tavern with a kitchen to use in common with us and tourists.
With 5 hours per day of work we will offer every meal (4 per day) and we can prepare food together (typical food, pasta, pizza, etc) in our home kitchen. We have a mostly vegetarian diet. Meanwhile travellers are allowed to use the other kitchen (especially in summer, when you don't have to heat it) with fridge and everything they need to cook by themselves if they prefer it and we can offer ingredients for the meals.
We can also decide another combination of work/meals according to everyone's needs
What else ...
We live in a quiet village at about 30 min from the city of Turin, very close to nature and the Alps, connected with the city with a bus (directly in the village) and a train every 30 min (in a close village, reachable by bicycle in 15min or car in 5min). In their time off travellers can walk in the near wood, hike starting directly from home, it's possible to do many sportive activity, there's a canyon with a fresh water stream at about 15min walking where we can bath in summer, there are two lakes at about 30min bicycle where it's possible to bath and canoing. We are close to Sacra di San Michele, an important monument that is reachable with a path or with a via ferrata. There are few bar and restaurants/pizzeria in the village but the city offer everything you need.

The room and facilities were fantastic and as described, although I'd have to say the view from the bedroom window was better than we could've expected. During the days we helped in the garden and around the house, and played with the kids. We had plenty of time and easy… read more
