  Description

  Hallo! We are a very active italian family and we need help with different things.
  My husband is a gardener and needs help in different gardens, I need to do some changes around the house and you can spend time with my 12 years old son who is home schooled at the moment.
  He is very independent but loves company!
  For example you can bring him to the beach, teach him some subjects and bring him to different activities.
  He loves trail running, skateboarding, climbing and parkour. He would like to learn how to play the guitar.
  In the free time we do lots of activities and we live in front of the beach in Albenga, Liguria.
  We live in a touristic area where different outdoor sports are possible.
  Please let me know if interested.
  We are looking for a boy, better if English, Spanish or French speaking in Europe already!
  Skaters superwelcome!!!!!!

  Accommodation

  We live in a small apartment but you can have your own room on the terrace. I usually cook but you can fix and eat what you like.

• 

  What else ...

  We live in Albenga, a charming place in Liguria. Very busy with tourists in the summer. Shops, bakeries, pizzeria, and train station at a walking distance to go seeing some places. We do not have a fixed schedule.
  Luca is a gardener and is away working most of the day and I, Margie, organize the activities.
  Leo in the morning goes to some summer camps or on the beach with friends ot workawayers.
  Lunch is usually at home or at my mom's unless you are working with Luca and have lunch with him.
  In the afternoon depending on the day Leo goes trail running training or skateboarding in Nice in France.
  We usually have dinner all together in the evening.
  Evenings and weekends are free.
  Friendly and easy-going environment.
  During the summer we have trail running competitions, we go scuba diving at the local island and we do different things
  We have been workawayer ourselves in an animal sanctuary and Leo is used to talk to different people in different languages and he loves to play!
  We do not watch TV and Leo is not used to use devices, he is a homeschooler and he has been to forest school.
  We ask the workawayer not to stay on the phone when with Leo and give him some attention, he loves company!
  We need somebody who likes to work in gardens, enjoy challenges, to stay with kids and enjoy playing.
  Please note that if you know you sleep in all the time, get tired easily and just want to have a vacation on the beach our family is NOT for you!
