  Description

  Help our little family be less stressed by helping us with household chores (and maybe a bit of babysitting).
  
  We are a family of Spaniards living in sunny Lugano. Marco and Cristina are the parents of the wonderful 18 months old twins, Leo and Rodrigo.
  
  We have two extra rooms in our house since the babies are still sleeping with us and thought that we could use them to host some wonderful people that could help us with the house and that way we would have a bit more time to rest and enjoy our fast growing babies.
  
  We get by without the help but we never get to go some deep cleaning in the house or have time to organize. We have also some plans to decorate and DIY in the house but we would need some extra hands for that.
  
  If that sounds interesting reach out to us, we would love to have you with us.

  Help

  Clean the house, assist us decluttering and organizing, help with laundry. Sometimes Cristina would need help to go to places with the babies like the park or the swimming pool, that's an optional but it could be helpful.
  
  
  We have some decoration ideas but need help implementing them, if you are good with that and/or are strong enough to love furniture around, you could also help us with that project.
  
  Also, Cristina is going to start a podcast about neurodivergencies so if you have any editing and podcasting experience you are welcome to help her with that as well 😊

  Accommodation

  We have two extra bedrooms, so you will be placed in one or the other depending on the availability of the room. We have two bathrooms, we normally only use the smaller one because is closest to our bedroom. The bigger one will be for you, but we use it for the washing machine and to bathe the babies. Both bedrooms share a balcony so you would have your own balcony.

  What else ...

  Lugano is a wonderful little city in the heart of sunny Ticino, we live 10 min away from the train station so our apartment is well connected. In Ticino you can hike, swim in the lakes or rivers, visit many beautiful villages around and also visit Italy (we are only 8km away to the closest Italian border).
