  Description

  Hi! We are a young family living in Malcesine, a really beautiful small town on the Garda Lake, next to Verona and the beautiful mountains of Trentino-Alto Adige! Our family is made up of me-Alessia, Davide, our little Riccardo who is 19 months old and we are waiting for another little boy who will be born in January 2024! My husband Davide has a business in the town of Malcesine and I’m an orthopedic surgeon working in Rovereto, a small town near us! Riccardo is a sweet, calm and funny boy! We are really enjoying the time spent with him! We also have 2 grandparents that help us a lot with Ricky!!! We are looking for someone who would enjoy to live with us, and helping us with the two boys as a “big sister” or “big brother”!Sometimes we could need your help for small daily activities like for example go shopping or cooking something simple or picking up Ricky at the nursery! Ricky will attend the nursery till 4 pm and I will be at home from work till September 2024, so your help would be needed in particular in the late afternoon! Of course you will have your day off in the weekend where davide stays at home and can help me with the 2 boys!
  In Malcesine you have plenty activities to do, most of them from march till end of October, period that we consider “high season” because the weather allows you to do more things!You can go at the beach, take a swim, practice kitesurf, windsurf and all that stuff! We also have a nice mountain in Malcesine, the monte b
  Baldo, where you can hike or take a comfortable cable car to go up! This mountain is very famous for Paragliding lovers! Davide and I are as well Paragliding pilots! If you prefer arts than sports, Verona and Trento are not that far and there you can have different opportunities as cinema, real great shopping, exhibitions etc.
  We are nature lovers and our house is out of the town, on a hill near the woods where you have a breathtaking view on the lake. So that’s why it would be necessary that you have a driving license so that you can be independent to move where you want!
  We love to travel and exchange culture! I grew up in Südtirol, a particular region of Italy where we speak also German! So I can speak both and I would love that my kids could have the same luck as I had, growing up learning other languages! At home we speak Italian, but we can speak German and English. I also speak Spanish and a little bit of French!
  We can offer a privat bedroom and bathroom at the ground floor of our house. It’s a small apartment connected by stairs with the rest of the house! So you will have your privacy but you’ll never feel alone! You can enjoy the meals with us whenever you want but you have also the opportunity to use your own kitchen if sometimes you will need your space!
  The hours worked in a day could be 3-4 hours but we are really flexible as we also have the help of the grandparents. And we would love that you could be flexible as well!
  We would like a staying of minimum 4-6 months so that the you and the children will have time to become familiar!
  If you are interested and have more questions don’t hesitate to contact us!
