  Help

  We need help for houseworks like basic house cleanings, laundry, ironing (we have washing machine, dryer and the a dishwasher): for the laundry and ironing we spend about 5h a week; for house cleanings we spend about 5h a week. We need help also for grocering about once a week; it usually takes no more than 2h a week.
  
  Me and my wife work so we need some baby care for our 4 years old daughter, especially when she gets sick and she can't go to the preschool, or when we can't come back in time to pick the baby up from school. When needed the workawayer have to prepare some simple meal for the baby. For this reason we fell more confident with a female workawayer.
  
  We would like practicing our English and introduce our daughter to the English language, but cause she can't still speak English it would be very good if the workawayer could speak at least some basic Italian to interact with the baby for her needs.

  Accommodation

  The work awayer will get a windowed room with a wardrobe. The room is about 8 square meter. We will share kitchen, bathroom and living room. The workawayer can choose to eat food together with us or alone, even if it would be very appreciated if she could prepare some food when we're busy at work and we're late. We usually have dinner about at 7pm and we wake up at 6 am during the week.

  What else ...

  The apartment is close to the train station. Trento is at 15 minutes by train and Verona is at about 30 min by train. Buses works very well here. If the workawayer has a valid driving license and we get enough trust on him/her, we can sometimes share our car.
