  Description

  We hope to see you soon!
  
  Hi, my name is Giulia and I live with my one-and-a-half-year-old daughter Gea in the Bolognese Apennines. Our house is surrounded by greenery and is 30 minutes from Bologna by train (it takes 15 minutes by car to get to the station or 30 minutes by bicycle if you are fit).
  
  I work as a psychologist and art therapist and am very passionate about these disciplines, to which I devote my study and dedication. I love art, creativity and meeting people in all its forms. I am trying to support Gea in her growth by encouraging her curiosity and interaction with others, and I believe that meeting people who travel as a way of life can help Gea open her little eyes to the world.
  
  We are looking for respectful and kind people to share our home with. We live with our cat Missy in a small village where there are five other families (each family has their own house and there are shared green spaces).
  
  The house has two floors and requires routine maintenance, cleaning and feeding the wood-burning stove. Our day starts at 7 a.m. Gea goes to nursery and has her own regular babysitter. Babysitting is not required, but support at home and in our daily life is appreciated.
  
  The main request is help with the wood stove and dinner preparation (we are mostly vegetarian-vegan) and cleaning the house.
  Small maintenance jobs if you know how to do them (putting up shelves, painting furniture, doing a bit of babysitting and, of course, PLAYING!).
  Gea loves books, music, drawing and walking in the woods.
  
  Digital nomads are welcome (if you work a lot, we can agree on a fee), but if you want to volunteer, the schedule could be 4 hours a day for 5 days per week (two hours during the day, plus preparing dinner).
  
  A minimum stay of 3 weeks and an introductory video call are required.
  
  If you have non-vegetarian dietary requirements, we ask that you take care of your own shopping.
  
  We hope to meet you soon!

  Ciao mi chiamo Giulia, vivo con la mia bambina che si chiama Gea di 1 anno e mezzo nell’appennino bolognese. La nostra casa è circondata dal verde e dista da Bologna 30 minuti con il treno (occorrono 15 minuti di macchina per arrivare alla stazione o 30 minuti di bicicletta se siete allenati)
  
  Io lavoro come psicologa e arteterapeuta sono molto appassionata di queste discipline a cui dedico studio e dedizione. Amo l’arte, la creatività e l’incontro con le persone in tutte le sue forme. Sto cercando di sostenere Gea nella sua crescita supportando la sua curiosità e lo scambio con gli altri e credo che conoscere persone che fanno le viaggio uno strumento di vita, possa esser utile a Gea per aprire i suoi piccoli occhi sul mondo.
  
  Cerchiamo persone rispettose e gentili con cui condividere la nostra casa. Viviamo con il nostro gatto Missy in un piccolo borgo in cui sono presenti altre 5 famiglie (ogni famiglia ha la sua casa e ci sono spazi verdi comuni)
  
  La casa è a due piani e necessita di manutenzione ordinaria, pulizia degli ambienti e alimentazione della stufa a legna. La nostra giornata inizia alle 7 Gea va all’asilo e ha una sua babysitter di riferimento, non è richiesta attività di babysitting con Gea ma un aiuto nella casa e nella nostra quotidianità.
  
  La richiesta principale è il sostegno nelle faccende domestiche, la preparazione dei pasti (siamo tendenzialmente vegetariane- vegane) e piccoli lavori di manutenzione se li sapete fare (montare mensole dipingere mobili e fare un po' di guardianaggio e naturalmente GIOCARE!) Gea ama i libri, la musica, disegnare e fare passeggiate nel bosco.
  
  Sono benvenuti nomadi digitali (se lavorate molto possiamo accordarci su una quota) se invece volete fare volontariato l’orario potrebbe essere di 4 ore al giorno per 5 giorni (due ore durante il giorno e la preparazione della cena sempre)
  E’ richiesto un tempo minimo di permanenza di tre settimane e una video chiamata conoscitiva.
  
  Se avete esigenze alimentari non vegetariane vi chiediamo di occuparvi della vostra spesa.
