    Description

    Hi! I am Federica from Tuscany.
    We (my ex-husband and I) have been welcoming workawayers for 12 years for our three girls when they were young.
    Now my children grew up (they are 20, 18 and 15). That means, that the person I am looking for needs to take care only of me.
    Since 2016 I need a wheelchair, that’s why I need someone to stay with me. The illness partially reduces my mobility and I speak ll a little weirdly but I have professionals people who help me during the day.

    I am 48 years old and aside from my illness I am open minded and quite interested in getting connected to people of different countries, cultures and nationalities.
    .My friends live all around Italy or Europe. I originally come from Milano, but I live in Tuscany since 20 years.

    Here,in Saltocchio, the train connect you with Toscana cities like: Lucca, Pisa, Florence, Siena, San Gimignano and Cinque Terre in Liguria.
    My house is very close to Ponte a Moriano train station (at 900mts 13 min walking) and you will have a bike to your disponibility as well , it is 3 min. from home to the station. The Beautifull Lucca is only 8,2 km from Ponte a Moriano. I need someone to stay with me.
    If you need more information, don't hesitate to ask me.
