Description
We're a family with four young children (3-8 years old) living around the world. We'll be spending five weeks in our organic sanctuary in Tuscany and are looking for one or two helpers to help us take care of our kids within our 50 hectares property.
This is a fantastic opportunity to spend five weeks on the famous hills of Tuscany if you're passionate about nature, organic/regenerative agriculture, and sustainable farming.
We’re looking for 1 or 2 people to spend 5 weeks (from June 17th to July 22nd) in Tuscany, to help with the children, some cooking and tidying up.
Presence is required for 4-6 hours/day.
.
We are looking for well-mannered, responsible, and proactive people who can spend time with the children inside our organic farm on the hills of Tuscany while we do online work within the property.
.
Our kids are bilingual in Italian/English, so you must be fluent in one of these languages. Big plus if you have experience doing activities with kids (art, exploring nature, gardening, etc) and if you enjoy cooking.
.
You’ll be offered a room + bathroom in a beautiful villa inside our 50 hectares organic sanctuary on the Maremma hills overlooking the sea, plenty of local experiences such as food tasting, hiking, sightseeing, and an unmissable opportunity to spend time in Tuscany.
.
Florence, Siena, Pisa, Rome, and countless other fantastic sites are within a 1-2 hour drive. The best beaches in Tuscany are 15-30 minutes away.

What else ...
You'll be staying near the medieval town of Suvereto, Tuscany. A train station is available (15-minute drive). If you plan on going to town often, you will need to drive your own car or motorbike to be independent in moving around. Bikes are also available on the property; you can rent a motorbike nearby. The area offers biking, hiking, horseback riding, beaches, and countless sports opportunities. You can visit Florence and Rome in a day if you'd like. This area of Tuscany is simply spectacular. The property is an agriturismo, so we have guests from all over the world. We grow organic olive oil and are starting a permaculture garden, so this is the place to be if you're into sustainability and regenerative agriculture.
