  Description

  ***Summer availability***
  
  Hello Workawayers! This is Ivana (40) with Viola (4).
  We live in a flat in a village in northern Italy, 45mins by train from Milan and 15mins by car from Mxp airport.
  No seaside (alas!) or mountains nearby (both about 2 hours by car). Lakes (Varese and Como) approx 40 mins by car.
  Our village is quiet, just 9000 souls, but we live smack in the centre and everything is within walking distance (supermarket, pharmacy, library, bar, train station etc).

  Help

  I am looking for a native English speaking female workawayer to mind my daughter in July and August 2025 while I work (from home, part time). I am trying to raise Viola as bilingual Italian - English. I speak exclusively English to her whenever possible. She understands most of it, but answers to me in Italian. She is starting to make a little effort with English speakers and can communicate basic needs. We hosted a wonderful US workawayer last year and that really boosted her speaking ability so I would really like to repeat the experience.
  
  Help would be required Mon-thu or Mon-fri (I am flexible), around 25 hours weekly.
