    Description

    Hi! We are Stefano and Velia, an Italian couple with a lovely one year old boy Alessandro.

    We’re a friendly, easygoing and active family who love traveling (and spending time outdoors), exploring new places and enjoying nature.

    We live between Italy and Portugal, where we have a beautiful home in the Algarve, close to the ocean. You can actually see it from our kitchen window!

    We need a kind, caring and reliable person who really loves spending time with children and would love to be part of our family life. We hope to find someone with whom we can build a trusting relationship, sharing everyday moments, different cultures, and a wonderful experience together!

    We live in Aljezur, a little town in a natural park in the western Algarve surrounded by beautiful nature, beaches and sea. It’s peaceful and laid back so ideal for anyone who loves the outdoors (surfing, hiking), relaxing lifestyle etc.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    We’d be happy to welcome you into our family and share our Italian culture, language, food and traditions with you. Living with us in Aljezur would also give you the chance to discover Portuguese culture, enjoy the beautiful beaches and experience the relaxed lifestyle of the Algarve.

    We love music, nature and outdoor activities, and we’d be happy to teach you a bit of surfing if you’re interested! We also have lots of local friends and contacts involved in different activities and disciplines, so we can help you discover new interests, meet people and feel part of the local community.

    We value an open, friendly atmosphere where everyone feels comfortable and respected. You’ll have plenty of free time and independence to explore, meet new people and enjoy your own experiences.

    Help

    We need someone to help us look with Alessandro’s daily routine while we’re working for around 20–25 hours a week. We’re not too strict about the schedule but happy to work things out together depending on your availability and preferences.

    Playing together, reading books, going for walks, spending time in the garden, preparing simple snacks or meals for him, changing nappies and putting him down for his nap when needed: these are the main tasks you'll be asked!

    We might occasionally ask for a little help with cooking or tidying up after Alessandro’s activities, but childcare would definitely be the priority.

    Accommodation

    We live in a lovely detached villa with ocean views, garden and swimming pool. You’ll have your own private bedroom and bathroom so you can enjoy your personal space and privacy.

    We would love to see how it goes: we surely can share meals, but we are also open to give you a stipend if it suits you better. We believe we will find the best solution while living together!
