Description
Hello! 😊
I’m looking for someone who can cook meals for our family.
I enjoy food that’s both nutritious and tasty, including simple recipes.
Please note: I can’t host more than one person at a time.
This is a better fit for someone who appreciates the warmth of family life and enjoy stay in a quiet and cozy villa.
Please reach out only if all these conditions are met — and feel free to tell me what you’d enjoy cooking for us during your stay! 😊
I'm 38 years old. I'm very fond of self development, psychology, spirituality and esoterism.
I'm a psychologist, counselor and meditation coach.
Also I’m psychoterapyst and i usually work remotely.
I also organize holistic events in the nature.
I like travelling and making experience abroad. I love staying close to nature, meeting new interesting people from several cultures, know different way to live and thinking.
I need help with the chores in the house and in the garden and cook meal.
The food is mostly vegetarian and local, i don't eat meat. I prefer good and healthy food. I'd like hosts that prefer this kind of cusine.
My project is creating holistic and international house. I'd like that my son grew up in this kind of habit
I live in Mascalucia (near Catania) with my boyfriend and my son Lorenzo ( 7 months) close to my parents in a villa, with garden and pool. I recently moved back here.
***Furniture restorer are welcome. I have a wooden desk and a nightstand to restyling

Melissa made us some delicious meals and took care of the daily cleaning, especially in the kitchen, with so much care and respect. To me, she was like the family. It was such a pleasure having her around—I hope we’ll meet again, and who knows, maybe even plan a little holistic event together! 😊
It was a pleasure to meet her. She's sociable and adatable.
I hope to see you and Terez again!
