    Description

    I'm Victoria, I'm Uruguayan, I'm 43, I'm an entrepreneur. I have a 8 year old son, Giulio. He is a very smart, empathetic, sensitive and nice child. Giulio goes to the Swiss school, he is learning German.
    We like to know new places, travel, go to the mountains. Watch movies in the evening. We are sporty people.

    We have two cats, Sleepy and Slapy.
    We live in the historic center of the city of Catania. Via Umberto I is one of the main and most beautiful streets in the city. From here it is easy to reach the metro and numerous bus lines.

    I am looking for a responsible, patient and friendly person with communication skills with children, who can manage and supervise our son, organize his creative activities and help him with his homework. We are looking for a person who speaks English or Spanish to be able to practice the language and give us some English lessons.

    As an additional family member you will help with some light house chores such as tidying Giulio's room, setting the table, emptying and filling the dishwasher, taking out the garbage if needed and helping with the management of the pets.
    Hours may vary according to our work commitments without exceeding 25 hours per week.
    I look forward to hosting a kind and caring person who can fully integrate into our little family. We are sociable but respectful of the privacy of others.

    Italiano:
    Sono Victoria, sono uruguaiana, ho 423 anni, sono un’imprenditrice. Ho un figlio di 7 anni, Giulio. È un bambino molto sveglio, empatico, sensibile e simpatico. Giulio va alla scuola svizzera, sta imparando il tedesco.
    Ci piace conoscere posti nuovi, viaggiare, andare in montagna. Guardare i film la sera. Siamo persone sportive.

    Abbiamo due gatti, Sleepy e Slapy.
    Viviamo al centro storico della città di Catania. La via Umberto I è tra le principali e più belle vie della città. Da qui è facilmente raggingibile la metro e numerose linee di autobus.

    Sono alla ricerca di una persona responsabile, paziente e simpatico/a con capacità comunicative con i bambini, che possa gestire e supervisionare nostro figlio, organizzare le sue attività creative e aiutarlo nei compiti.
    Cerchiamo preferibilmente una persona che parli inglese o spagnolo per poter praticare la lingua e ci dia qualche lezione di inglese.

    Come membro della familia aggiuntivo aiuterà con alcune piccole faccende di casa come mettere in ordine la stanza di Giulio, apparecchiare, svuotare e riempire la lavastoviglie, buttare la spazzatura se c’è bisogno e aiutare nella gestione degli animali domestici.
    L’Orario potrà variare in base ai nostri impegni lavorativi senza superare i 25 ore settimanali.

    Non vediamo l’ora di ospitare una persona gentile e premurosa che possa integrarsi completamente nella nostra piccola famiglia. Siamo socievoli ma rispettosi della privacy altrui.
