Hi! I'm Flaminia, a single mum with a 19 old daughter Vera and a 13 old dog Batu. I'm a masseuse and I work either in Florence and in the Chianti area. My daughter is attending the last year of high school and Batu is a nice mix Labrador- border collie black hairy dog who loves to be cuddled.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
I'm living in a very small village in Chianti, 20 minutes outside Florence. it's a very quite place, but at the same time if you wish to go to the city, it's easy and quite near.
in the nearby there are some beautiful woods and wineyard where we love to have long walks and Chianti is one of the most beautiful area in Tuscany and probably the world.
I'm a masseuse and I work either in Florence and in Chianti and would love to meet people from around the world.

Help
I'm looking for some help around the house and someone who could take care of my dog while I'm at work.
He's really friendly and since quite old he doesn't need special care or very long walks, although he still enjoys going out at least two times a day.
I also would like someone who can help me keeping the house nice and tidy, as I'm not the most tidiest person in the world :)
My daughter is attending a language school and she speaks English, French and German, so it would be very nice to have someone who can let her practice with one or more of these languages.

Accommodation
We usually have very healthy food meal, mainly vegan but not exclusively. I like to cook my meals every time and I don't like precooked meal.
But sometimes we also like to have some bigger meal with some Italian food or some fancy ethnic food.
Vera, my daughter is very talented in cooking asian food.
For what concern the accommodation, as I don't have a third room, I've divided the living room with a curtain and I've created a nice sleeping corner. Of course is a walk-through room as one of the two bathrooms is there, but the space I've made is really comfortable. Because I don't have a proper room for guest, but just a bed on the floor in the living room, I'm more comfortable in hosting a female helper. thank you for your understanding.
What else ...
I'm quite busy during summer time as I work mainly during hot season and I'm more free in winter and stay more at home.
Guests in their time off are welcome to go to Florence or going around the area.
There are some buses during the day to go to Florence very close to my house.

I immediately felt very welcome and spent a total of 2 weeks with them in Florence.
The tasks I did were always clearly formulated; the focus was on exchange and togetherness. All in all, just as described in the profile.
