  Description

  Hello! We are a dynamic, warm, and tightly-knit duo:: myself (a 38 you professional single mother) and my sweet 4-year-old daughter, Stella. We are currently navigating an exciting transition, moving back to Milan after living in Hong Kong.
  
  We live in a beautiful cozy apartment in San Siro, one of Milan’s most desirable, safe, and green residential neighborhoods. Our home is completely a women-only environment, making it an exceptionally safe, secure, and relaxed.
  
  Since we just arrived from Asia, we are looking for a reliable, mature, and independent au pair to become an essential part of our small, supportive team! Because most of week I work from the office, punctuality and a steady routine are essential to our daily life!!!
  
  We require help for 25 to 30 hours per week max.
  
  Morning (8:00 AM – 9:00 AM): Help Stella with breakfast and walk her to her school downstairs.
  Afternoon (3:00 PM – 7:00 PM):3:00 PM – 4:30 PM: Dinner preparation for Stella and us.4:30 PM: Pick her up from school.4:30 PM – 7:00 PM: Playground time downstairs, bring her home for a bath, feed her dinner, and play until I return from work.
  
  + 1 evening per week for night dates.
  
  Because I occasionally work from home, our routine can be wonderfully collaborative and flexible!
  
  On days when I work from home and want to handle Stella's morning drop-off or afternoon park time myself to get extra mommy-daughter bonding, we will switch roles! On those specific occasions, during those exact same scheduled hours, you will help with light household tasks, instead of childcare. This includes simple things like running a load of family laundry, folding Stella clothes, emptying the dishwasher, tidying Stella's toys, or organizing groceries.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  We'd also love you to join our day or weekend trips, but we also respect your free time so up to you if joining and explore together or staying on your own.
  
  We love nature, hiking, cycling, I'm passionate about yoga (I'm certified yoga teacher) and traveling (been on a backpacking solo female travel to India, Iran, China, Senegal, Gambia among others).
  
  I speak several languages (Italian, French, Chinese) and would love to share ideas and experience with a like minded person, preferably girls or families (single parents only for a matter of space!).

  What else ...

  The Strong Points of this Position (Why You'll Love It Here!)
  Zero Commute Hassle: Stella’s school, the local grocery store, and a beautiful playground are literally right downstairs or a 2-minute walk from our front door.
  Total Safety & Comfort: You will be living in a peaceful, private, all-female household.
  Prime Central Connection: While our neighborhood is quiet and green, the Metro Line 5 (the Purple Line) is right by the house. It takes you directly to the Duomo, chic shopping districts, and university hubs in just 15–20 minutes.
  Perfect Balance of Free Time: With a split schedule, your entire midday (9 AM to 3:00 PM) and all your weekends are 100% free to attend language school, socialize, or travel around Italy.
  Apartment is no smoking allowed. Shoes must be taken off. Environment awareness when using resources is requested. We value a lot keeping clean and tidy
