  Description

  I'm Clara and I write for Rosi, my aunt. She is a wonderful 85 years old lady.
  She lives in Milan in a quiet residential area. She had an accident this year and two of her vertebrae were broken. She loved walking in the mountains and at the sea, and now she can not do it anymore.
  
  Now she is using crutches and moving quite slowly, but she gets tired very quickly. At home, she already has help with cleaning, but she would need help in the kitchen, for shopping, for the use of the computer and little things at home. Also she would need company, although not all the time.
  
  She loves art, music, contemporary history, children, animals. She understands English and French, but Italian is required for this position. We are looking for a girl or lady within the age of up to sixty years old, who can also take care of Puck, a splendid six-month-old red kitten.
  
  We are looking for a cheerful person, but not loud and noisy, rather discreet and optimistic. Despite her age, Rosi is completely conscious and open minded, very sweet and smiling. She has a daughter who is very present, but someone who has work commitments. She also has many nephews who love her, like me, but we do not live in Milan.
