    Description

    Hey my name is Greta, I live in a small town in the north of Italy called Santa Margherita Ligure, in the province of Genova. I own a restaurant and so I need English-speaking childcare for my three year old daughter. The job includes a small separate house with bathroom and kitchen for you during your stay in my garden. I live with my mum and daughter in very picturesque hills and is near to many towns.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    During the day you are free to explore Liguria. I am a train away from Cinque Terre, 15 minutes away from Portofino, beautiful beaches nearby, Milano and Florence are 2 hours away.

    In the nearby town of Rapallo there is a language school if you wish to learn Italian. I want you to speak English with my daughter but my mother only speaks Italian so you can practice with her.

    Because I own a restaurant you will have access to authentic Italian food and Ligurian recipes.
