Description
HI,
we are a young family with 6 wonderful children between 8 and 1 year old.
We are Italians and, after 8 years living in Germany, we have traveled around Europe and we live some months of the year (autumn and part of winter) in our beautiful country house in the hills of Umbria, near of Lake Trasimeno, near the border with Tuscany.
We try to live a free life in close contact with nature and our children are all homeschoolers. In our family, sport, healthy and natural nutrition as well as communication (non-violent communication) are of great importance for all of us.
We are very fond of languages and our children grow up bilingual (Italian and German) and would like to learn English and French better too.
We are looking for a person or couple or family who can help us especially in managing the twins (they are one and a half years old - born January 2022) and Davide (3 years old) and who can speak English, German, Italian or French with us. Sometimes you can help us also with house and garden.
We are looking for person who loves a healthy and sporty life and who is flexible and ready to live the chaotic daily life of a large family.
more informations about us:
- Anna (mother of the family, 37 y.) studied sociology and pedagogy in Italy;
- Michele (dad, 31 y.) studied Classics, History and Italian Studies in Italy and Germany and currently teaches from home for a German online high school.
- since June 2023 we have a medium-large dog, still a 7 month old puppy, very good and loving with everyone, children and adults.
We are happy to meet you in an interview and to see if there is good energy between us to be able to offer you a nice stay in the Italian countryside, excellent and healthy Italian cuisine and a great family experience.
Thanks.
Bye bye,
Michele and Anna
