    Dear readers,

    I am looking for a mature woman, ideally a Steiner-trained teacher (!!), who also speaks English, is very responsible, and can cook and clean to help me at my home in Vallemaggia (CH), as I have two children, Pedro, aged 3, and Vittorio, aged 16 (who is already quite independent), on my own, and I am setting up my own business in the field of organic construction, restoration and conservation of historic buildings.
    Unfortunately, I don’t have time to do everything I’d like to, but above all, providing my children with proper care and keeping the house tidy and clean has become a challenge, and as I can’t manage it, I absolutely need help with this for at least three months.

    In return, I can offer you a room in our home and meals during the exchange period.

    Gabi and family

    P.S.: An older lady would also suit me very well, as she could provide a ‘grandmotherly’ presence for my little ones.
    Hugs to all of you and I wish you a great life,

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    We want receive a honest person, with a big heart but with capacity to management our work very well. If is possible with past experiences at baby sitting.

    In the past I receive many person's around the world through workaway and I was a workawayer too. I started to worked at home of a founder of workaway person. Very nice experiences.
    This type of philosophy can change your mind and obviously the world. It's possible to change this system where governments wants to control our live.

    I think I'm a rebel person inside, but smarter. I try to arranged all my staffs with creative and positive thinking.

    I have a lot interest in microbiology applied at restauration and bio carburante or food. Chemistry is another branch I'd love to sharing. If you are a philosophy person, a little scientist and artist person...maybe here, you can have a good ground to put your seeds.
