    Description

    Hello everyone! My name is Daria, I'm 28 and I'm mum to a 20 months old boy named Ulisse. Today I'm here because I'm looking for a sweet, sociable and reliable girl that can come and help us in our daily life for the summer. Ulisse's dad just left for a seasonal job abroad, this is also why I'm writing.
    Ulisse is very tender, slightly introverted but also super curious and energetic; at first he may look shy but as he warms up to people it becomes the sweetest, most playful boy and I'd love to find in our future gest a beautiful goodhearted person that can connect and share with him the best part of themselves.

    We live in an apartment with a terrace and a littel garden, in a splendid little town in central Italy. We love our surroundings and we often go bathing either by the beach or by the river (Ulisse is very fond of it). Unfortunately, since we live in a small town, public transportation is scarce, so I need you to have a valid driver's licence to lend you my car, both to facilitate Ulisse's tranfers and for you to explore around.

    If you come here you are welcome to speak with Ulisse the language you are most confortable with, while with me you can speack either English, Spanish or French... We are a multicultural family and we love cultural and linguistic exchange. And of course if you are interested in learning and practicing Italian, I'm willing to help.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    I've always been passionate about languages, and soon I'll attend a master to learn how to teach Italian to foreigners. So if you want to be my first student, you are welcome!
    So, yes, at the very least I can share my language, then, of course I can cook and show you the Italian recipies I know and If you are curious we can try new ones together. Here's a place for foodies! We are surrounded by nice traditional restaurants so, both in the house and ouside you'll have the opportunity to try authentic, delitious food.
    During my time off, I can show you around, bringing you to my favourite places, or suggest you nice spots if I can't join.
    On the other hand, more or less on the same vibe, I'd love to learn about your language and culture. And if you also love cooking, I'm super willing to try what you make!

    I work as an employee at the local post office 5 days a week (Thursdays and Sundays off), so the help that I need consists in bringing Ulisse at preschool in the morning and picking him up by 1pm. It's a 10 minutes drive from home. During Ulisse's permanence at school, you are free to use the car, just being attentive to remain at reachable distance in case he's sick and needs to be picked up.

    After coming back home he needs to take his afternoon nap. As he sleeps I'd appreciate if some lunch could be made so that when I come back at 2.15pm, we can eat together, if it pleases you.
    Thursdays and Sundays are going to be your days off, as well as the afternoons as soon as I get home. It goes without saying that if you want to partake in our Sundays and afternoon's activities, you are more than welcome!

    If you’ll join us starting from July, the help needed is going to be a bit different because preschool will be closed during the months of July and August. This means that I’ll need you to spend 4/5 mornings a week caring for Ulisse, while I’m at work. And since your job is going to be more consistent during these two months I’ll gladly offer a weekly stipend of 50€ (200 a month).
    This year I'm learning about cultivating vegetables and I'm building my little garden, if you have knoledge, or you'd like to learn with me, I'd be happy.

    Furthermore, some light help with the daily chores is required, in the spirit of nicely coexisting.
