Description
Come enjoy life in the Veneto countryside not far from Venice. Single mother with 2 children needs a helping hand!
My name is Kelly, I am 43 years old, I am a single mummy to Conor (aged 6) and Violet (aged 19 months) and I am a wedding planner.
The children are great, they give the best hugs and are expert ticklers! They are looking for a someone who enjoys playing, cycling, playing football, hiking, swimming, reading books, cooking and basically spending time with them. I am so lucky that we live somewhere they get to be children with the freedom to enjoy the outdoors.
We live about 40 mins from Venice in a very sweet town, ideally you will be able to drive and can borrow my car when I do not need it.
The beach is less than an hour away and there are also lakes and mountains nearby, its basically offers the best of both worlds. There will be the chance to travel around Italy with us as in the summer months I have weddings from the toe to the top of Italy!
Conor goes to school 3 days a week until 430pm and 2 days a week until 1230pm. He also has football twice a week. Violet may start nursery next year, but this has yet to be decided.
