Description
We have recently moved to a new house in a village nearby Bergamo. I (Anna) am a doctor, Francesco is a Mechanical designer. We live with our 2 years old son Elia, our daughter Emma (she is seven) and our dog Jaspers.
We work during all day but we like spending our free time cooking, reading, playing music, playing with our children, walking with jaspers, watching movies and simply staying together. Usually we like to have dinner with workawayers, the idea is to share experiences while setting the table and preparing the meal... as a family!
Sometimes during the week-end we are busy with a volunteers association, spending time with people with mental illness, some other times we like to go out with our guests for some touristic tour.

Help
We need someone who can help us in the house. We want to do a periodical "big cleaning" but we never have time.
So, we could ask for cleaning glasses, floors, and others many things need in a house periodically.
We would like that you play with our children while we Cook the dinner and help at the end of the meal.
We have a big garden, you can help us cutting lawn, gardening ecc.
You can organize yourself (morning or afternoon) in the time we'll be not at home. Everyday we discuss together the planning for the next day.

If you have a car, no problem, you can easily reach Bergamo (15 minutes), Brescia, Milano, Verona, Mantova, the lakes (Garda, Iseo, Endine, Como), and the mountains.

Bergamo is a very cute little town. You can explore Città Alta and the lakes around (Garda, Iseo, Como). 50 minutes by train from Milano and Brescia. Very close to Milano Bergamo airport.
