  Description

  Hi, I'm Maria Giulia and I'm 30 years old. In June 2022 I married my best friend and last June we were blessed with a baby boy.
  He's our first child and we are really excited about this journey!
  
  We work full time, but fortunately we are quite flexible: my husband is a Lawyer and I'm a Digital Marketing Manager with smarworking benefit. Atm I’m back from maternity leave but still not working full time. Our baby boy stays mainly with his grandparents but it would be great to have someone that can help out taking care of him.
  
  We are building our dream house in the coutryside, with the benefit of a beautiful garden, plenty of space and fresh air, just 10/15 minutes from the city center (Bologna).

  Types of help and learning opportunities

  Language practice

  Babysitting and creative play

  Help around the house
• 

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  I think that a workaway would love to stay with us because we are a young couple, super friendly and full of life. Moreover, we live really close to my birth family (brother and sister, parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins…) so every week end is a celebration and every day is an occasion to share thoughts, opinions, point of view.
  
  Finally, Bologna is kind of a strategic place to visit the most beautiful places in Italy (50min trains to Milan, 2hrs to Rome, 30minutes to Florence, etc)

  Help

  We are looking for someone who’s willing to stay with us and help us taking care of our son and our house, where we are going to move in about a month (at the moment it’s still under construction). We would love to find someone fluent in english because I really would like for my son to familiarize with the language from a very young age.
  
  First things first, we are all for gentle parenting and Montessori’s approach and we would like to find someone with the same vision about our son’s education.
  
  As for the tasks and details of the work, since we are very flexible, I will be happy to discuss them thoroughly with the “aspiring” workawayer.
  In general, we are looking for someone that can help us with the management of our son (who’s 9 months old) and of the house and that can bring into our house another culture and a different point of view!

  Accommodation

  The workawayer will have his own bedroom and his own private bathroom. The house is still under construction so everything will be brand new! As I mentioned there is a big garden and of course we are going to provide food for every single meal

  What else ...

  My husband in his free time loves to run and he's training to run a marathon this year.
  I, on the other hand, absolutely love practicing yoga and climbing!
  
  We love the sun, warm weather, nature and the sea.
