  Description

  We are a family of three looking for nice, friendly people who would like to spend quality time with two kids and help with household tasks.
  
  My name is Laura and I am a single parent. I enjoy dancing and listening to music, I work in the social sector, and I study part-time. My children are 10 and 14 years old, and the older one has a cognitive disability. They are both very lively and independent: one is passionate about sports, video games, Japanese anime, and Beyblades, plays basketball, and loves mountain biking; while the second loves creative activities, music, cooking, beauty treatments, and hanging out with friends.
  
  We live in a village nestled in nature among the hills of Italian-speaking Switzerland, in the Malcantone region. Public transport allows you to reach small urban centers like Caslano and Ponte Tresa in twenty minutes, while cities like Lugano, Bellinzona, and other Ticino destinations can be reached within about 30 to 60 minutes.
  More information about the region is available on the website:
  
  Our home offers a guest bedroom with a private bathroom and good Wi-Fi connection. We are happy to share the living room and main meals whenever possible.
