  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 speak one of this two languages, is perfect! But if you’re an English, French or Deutsch 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

  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, prepare yourself for the beach! Our city comes alive, turning into a sun-soaked Tuscan dream so get ready and bring your sunscreen and swimming suit.
  
  Endless adventures await — from charming streets to hidden corners — and cities like Pisa, Florence, and Lucca are just a scenic train ride away.
  There are always some farther or more adventurous destinations, like Rome, Venice, or Volterra — perfect for a little mini-adventure on your days off!

  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! We're looking for someone PROACTIVE, who listens, felxible, a person who knows how to work in a team. Someone friendly, reliable, clean and ready to join the little adventure that is our family.
  
  The chores are the following ones:
  
  - 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 such as doing laundry, folding clothes, vacuuming...tidying up the house in general according to the needs of the moment.
  
  - Isabel is always present so she will definetely would like to share some time with who stays with us by sharing Halloween costumes while she becomes a chef, an artist, a witch or even a princess, but this is not an au pair job.

  Accommodation

  We offer a bright and 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 all yours — it’s conveniently located just outside your room. We simply ask for mutual care in keeping it clean and pleasant for everyone.
  
  The room is part of a spacious 160 sqm home with a lovely garden and patio, perfect for relaxing, enjoying the outdoors, or soaking up the Tuscan sun.
  
  I’m looking for someone who can help during the day, 5 days a week, for 6 hours a day, in exchange for accommodation, meals, and guidance.
  
  Free Wi-Fi, Netflix, Paramount+, and Disney+ are available.
  
  We follow a Mediterranean diet, so we eat a bit of everything. We’re happy to buy extra groceries so you can enjoy meals with us. You’re welcome to join us for dinner during the week and lunch on weekends when we cook, or you can choose to eat at your own time — it’s completely up to you.
  
  During the week, we usually have lunch at work, so you’re free to help yourself at home.
  
  To make things easy, just send us a list of the “must-have” foods you usually eat (for example: bread, fruit, a specific 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 kindly ask that the kitchen be free from 06:45 am to 8:15 am and from 6:30pm to 8:00 pm while Luca is preparing meals.
  As a general rule, please clean up after eating and follow the “chef’s” instructions on how to load the dishwasher properly :)
  
  We don’t allow guests we don’t know. The area is very safe, but we never take risks.
  You will have your own key, so if you’re heading out, please double-check that everything is locked up. Thanks so much!
  
  I'm buddist and I firmly believe that practice, fate and a life caring for others can create a huge difference in people's life.
  
  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. I go to a gym that is 15 minutes away by bycicle and they can give us a discount in case you wanna do some training too.
  
  There’s a bus stop just seconds 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.
