Description
Hello! my name is Ilaria and I live in Italy, more precisely in Viareggio that is a seaside resort in Tuscany, only 15 minutes away from Pise and 1 h from Florence. Viareggio is very touristic during summer time, but it is also attractive in the month of February due to its famous Carnival.
I studied biology at the university of Pisa and then moved to France for a PhD.
My boy Fabio was born in France in 2017, he is now almost 6 years old and he is an adorable bilingual child, passionate with Star Wars, dinosaurs and avengers.
After my divorce in 2020 I moved back to Italy with Fabio and we bought an independent house in Viareggio. In our place we also have Merlino, a lovely cat that is 2 years old. The house is just in front a nice parc, 5 min walking from the beach. A grocery shopping, a pharmacy and many other shops are at walkable distance from our place.
Fabio goes to school every morning 8 to 13. and usually goes climbing on Thursday afternoon. He takes swim classes during the summer and would like to play football next September.
I practice dance and pilates once per week and I like to go jogging and reading whenever I have some time !
I also like hiking and try to spend time mainly with outdoor activities if the weather allows it.
No TV or videogames here 🙂
I work for a biotechnology company mainly from home, my role is Field Application Specialist and I support customers of South West Europe. It can happen I need to travel to some customers for urgent matters. In these cases, my parents usually help me with Fabio, as they live pretty close.
Types of help and learning opportunities
Babysitting and creative play

Help around the house
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Workawayers can live in an italian family, learn the language, taste italian food, and specialties. They can be travelling around in Tuscany, and appreciate the cultural and naturalistic treasures of the region. This would be a valuable cultural exchange and may create strong interpersonal relationships
