English lessons and child care near near Assisi, Italy

Details

  Description

  We are a family of 4 with two children 9 and 10 years old. We live in the small town of Cannara, which is near Assisi, in the central region of Italy called Umbria. Our house is in the countryside, 1.5 Km from the town and we own a small piece of land which we enjoy sowing in our spare time. We love nature and all animals and have two dogs, three cats, chickens and duks. We like to think of our house as a farm but we actually produce only eggs at the moment.
  Max, my husband, is a social worker and works full-time in Perugia. I am junior webdesigner looking for a job after being working at home, handmaking clothes. Max and I are vegetarian while the children sometimes eat meat.
