    Description

    Dear workawayer!
    We need a person who wants to improve and understand a bit of Italian cause our main need now is to cover our baby 's needs when we are at work. So at the moment we need some help in babysitting Elaia (born in 2021) , also driving her to the kindergarten and some little help around the house if possible.
    We are a young, multicultural couple with an amazing baby girl : Elaia is a really calm, sweet and smart girl. She loves when we sing, play music, dance, go out, go the beach, ride and walk in nature.
    We just moved in a beautiful house with garden near the beach of a safe small village called Furnari (Falcone).

    Federico and I, both we are italians from Sicily but with different background with strong values and easy-going attitude.
    I ve been living, working and travelling during 5 years abroad between Spain, London, Singapore before coming back to Sicily again with new awareness and consciousness of me so also new understanding of the Island I belong to.
    Yoga helped me to find my way in 2001 when I was living in London.
    I am an experienced Yoga teacher since 2010, I LOVE learn and practice in India and before Covid restrictions I was used to go there and practice yoga for 3 months with different guruji.
    I CAN Speak fluent English, Spanish and some French too
    Federico is working in a Farmacy and is also a musician of SudCantica Group (South italian folk music)
    We are young, smart, tidy, very clean and very healthy italian couple pleanty of simple values.
    We live in the really safe and smart countryside near the beach of furnari.
    Next village, is the beautifull reserve of Marinello lakes in Oliveri (Messina), in the island of Sicily.
    We had an amazing au pair from Brasil till may 2022 and another from Argentina till december 2022 and after that, we ve experienced few workawayers with great opportunities of growth, experiences and enthusiasm.

    If you are an experienced, trustfull, clean, tidy girl with some Italian skills that wants to help us around those needs you are really welcome.
    I wish to increase my teaching yoga Classes as I opened a YOGA STUDIO in Falcone.
    Once x week, I would love to go to Messina where my parents live (Messina is 40 minutes by car via motorway)
    You ll have a nice room in a really safe place where to live, very near the beach of Furnari where walking, jogging, go to the beach and some nice people and musicians around.
    We also live close to train station for your sightseeing, travels and we ll be happy to help you on discover Sicily when possible.
    We believe you can stay for few months (or less if you cannot) We will offer a nice treat, a cultural exchange, 3 meals for day and a nice accomodation also.
    I speak Italian as mothertongue then very fluent Spanish, English and I can speak also a good level of French.
    I would love to share Yoga and Yoga center' S activities when possible,share my languages, competences and some sicilian recipes as I love cooking.
    You can easily speak Spanish and Italian with Elaia cause she is already bilingual (italian and spanish) or again teach her some English.

    We' re looking forward to meet you on a video call, to talk to you and understand if we will live together soon and enrich our lives!
    See you soon ♡

    Maria Cristina, Federico & Elaia
