Description
Ciao! Hola! Hello!
Welcome to my profile — thanks for stopping by!
I’m Denisse, 38 years old, originally from Mexico, a working mum, a wife, and the proud human of a very lovely dog. At home we fluently speak Italian and Spanish, and if you’re an English speaker, we’d love your help practicing it too! In return, I’m more than happy to help you learn or improve Italian or Spanish.
We’re a family of four:
Luca (42) – the Yin to my Yang and the official "Chef" of the house
Me, Denisse (38) – multitasking human in training
Mila (6) – our gorgeous, energetic dog who considers every walk a grand adventure
Isabel (2½) – our sweet little girl full of joy and curiosity
We live in Lido di Camaiore, a beautiful town in Tuscany where we’ve built our cozy home. We’re only 600 meters from the beach, and the area is absolutely lovely during summer — perfect for bike rides, sunset walks, and enjoying the seaside atmosphere.
If you enjoy dogs, beach vibes, good food, and a friendly multicultural home, we might be the perfect match!

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
The Viareggio Carnival is one of the world’s most famous, featuring enormous floats up to 30 meters tall. Parading along the promenade, they use satire to tackle politics, society, and the environment. 2026 parade dates: Feb 1, 7, 12, 15, 17, 21.
From March to May you can enjoy the quietness of the sea. Long walks, a hot coffee or a drink in your favorite bar while you read a book or hear people enjoying the day.
From June to September, our city comes alive, turning into a sun-soaked Tuscan dream straight out of a romantic novel. Endless adventures await — from charming streets to hidden corners — and cities like Pisa, Florence, and Lucca are just a scenic train ride away.
Help
Between work (we both have full-time jobs), family, and the everyday hustle, my schedule can get pretty busy — that’s where you come in! I’m looking for someone who can:
- Take Mila on the long walks she absolutely loves — she’s only 9 kg, so super easy to handle.
- Give us a hand with light household tasks during the day
- (Optional but awesome!) Chat with us in English so we can practice — and I can help you with Italian or Spanish in return
We’re looking for someone friendly, reliable, and ready to join the little adventure that is our family.

I would love to learn some basic French and Deutsch. I am trying to speak more spanish to our baby cause I want her to understand and speak Italian and Spanish since she's young.
Accommodation
We offer a bright, cozy 16 sqm room with its own private balcony. The bathroom is shared with me in the morning (from 7:00 am to 8:30 am), and after that it’s yours — it’s just outside your room. The room is part of a spacious 160 sqm home with a lovely garden and patio, perfect for enjoying the outdoors, relaxing, or soaking up the Tuscan sun.
Free Wi Fi, Netflix, Paramount and Disney available.
We follow a Mediterranean diet, so we eat a bit of everything! We’re happy to buy extra so you can share in meals. You’re welcome to join us for lunch on weekends and dinner during the week if we cook something. To make things easy, just make a list of the "must" foods you usually eat (for example: bread, fruit, a type of yogurt, etc.) and we’ll make it work!
What else ...
We kindly ask everyone to be respectful and tidy inside our home, so we have just a couple of simple rules:
No shoes inside — we like to keep things cozy and clean in general.
Kitchen access: We ask for the kitchen to be free from 7:00 am–8:30 am and 18:30 pm–8:00 pm, while Luca is preparing meals.
There’s a bus stop just a few minutes from our house that can take you to the train station, making it easy to explore practically anywhere. You’re also welcome to use my bicycle to get around.
During summer, there’s a free beach if you’d rather not pay, and plenty of bars nearby where you can sip a spritz while listening to the lively chatter of Italians enjoying la dolce vita.
