    Ciao!
    We are a Finnish/Italian family with 2 small children in the countryside of Tuscany. We are currently renovating an old villa and starting and running a small accommodation business. We'll need help with babysitting, gardening, and small household activities. Duties can be discussed more in detail according to the skills and interests of the workawayer!

    Current situation 2024:
    In April-June we need help with babysitting and household duties.
    June-August we will need a housekeeper who could help with gardening and general maintenance.

    Don't hesitate to ask further information! :)
