Description
Hi, we're a family of 4. We live in a nice apartment in Torres Vedras which is about 30min drive from Lisbon. We have a bus stop a 5min walk from home and there are buses to Lisbon all the time.
I'm Romana, Portuguese but I always felt like a citizen of the world and I spent 6 years living abroad. I have my own business as a marketing strategist.
My husband is Italian and he also has his own business. He is a photographer
We have 2 boys - Leo is 4 and Diego is 11. They're sweet and kind kids.
Diego speaks great English and also Italian and Portuguese. Leo speaks Italian and Portuguese.
Every Friday we cook pizza from scratch and every Sunday we do pancakes. We love our little food traditions.
We're easy-going and friendly.

Help
We'd love to get someone to help with the kids when they're on their summer break. Their very independent so we just need someone who can take them to the park and keeps them busy and happy - away from screens when we have to work. We have a cleaning lady who comes every 2 weeks so the help around the house is more to keep things organized and tidy, asking the kids to keep their toys organized, helping with cooking, and doing the dishes.
