Description
Ciao!
We are a Finnish/Italian family with 2 small children, living part of the year in the countryside of Tuscany.
We own a property with our private home and next to it a separate house where we run a small accommodation business in our property (in which we have own staff). - there will be no help with this
When in Italy, we need a pair of helpful hands with the family life and everyday household activities. We have a big garden that needs a lot of love and care. We have found Workaway as an great way to provide an opportunity to those who want to experience Italian family life and countryside life and learn the language, while in return receiving help and building long-lasting friendships.
Current situation 2026:
We will need a babysitter (or two) who could help with active play with our kids and some general house hold activities in May. If you can speak Italian that's a big plus! :)
We will also need workawayer (or two) in August-September to maintain our garden and to be a house watch over the summer time.
Don't hesitate to ask for further information! :)

Waoo, what luck or shall I say, destiny that my Workawaying was at Laura and Giacomo's. They are absolutely kind, generous and wonderful hosts who offered an "exceptional" work exchange with total independence and trust.

I stayed in the villa for one month (September). Toscana is a magical place (doesn’t matter how much you see photos, in reality it is much much more charming)!
