Description
We are an Italian-Austrian family living in Capena, a small town 30 minutes from Rome.
The main interest of our family is art: ceramics, mosaics and painting.
The residence is placed in a big garden with nature, animals and mosaics,
there’s a fairytale atmosphere.
We would like to host a workawayer from another country and culture who would take care of Niccolo’, 3 yrs old by teaching him another language and help me in cleaning the house. Alternatevly we may need support at our Ceramic Lab if you are a ceramist or a painter !
If you love art or you want to learn better contact us! Please contact us if you wish to stay at least 2 full months!

Help
We would like you to support us to:
1) entertain our baby with different activities able to stimulate his mind and fantasy (during the afternoon since i the morning Niccolò is at the kindergarden). We believe these activities can be very easy if done with affectivity, love and real interest, these are the main characteristics we search !
2) housekeeping activities
Daily you’ll find always the support of the mother, often smartworking at home, of the father working in the ceramic laboratory in Capena, of the grandmother , grandfather …and so on.
3) if I have already found a workawayer supporting us with Niccolò, we may need a second workawayer helping us as ceramist or painter (contact us and we let you know what we need the most at the moment!)
We would like you to help 5 hours per day. Saturday and Sunday will be free.
If you like ceramics, during your free time you can attend the courses done by the father of Niccolò.
