****WE ARE LOOKING FOR A WORKAWAYER FROM BEGINNING OF MAY UNTIL 8TH AUGUST***
Hi, I am Daniela, a single mom from Pesaro, Italy. I have 2 children, Giacomo who is 8 years old, Tommaso who is 14 years old. The boys are very affectionate, shy at the beginning with new people around, but they will warm up easily and then comes the fun. Tommaso, my older son is a football player, he is always up to date on all football news. Tommaso also likes to go out with his friends. Giacomo is a really brainy young boy, he is interested in almost everything, he enjoys painting (especially when he can make a big mess with it), he loves helping with baking and cooking too, and he likes to swim, going to the beach, collecting shells, rocks, he is an active boy and he is a football player like his brother.
We live really close to the center and the beach, 15-20 minutes by walk, or you can go by bike. Pesaro is the city of music, the city center offers you amazing things, like shops, restaurant, bars, cafés, or you can just enjoy the beautiful sight of the sea, have a walk at the beach, go for a swim at summer.
We like to have trips, we enjoy being in the nature, go by bike to the sandy beach, and we are helping with horses at a ranch in a little town called Mombaroccio (30 minutes by car). I am passionate about riding since I was a little girl, and there I can enjoy the company of many horses. Usually we help with the feeding, or with smaller things around the farm (packing the hay, for example).
We can't wait to hear from you and for you to be part of our family!

Animal Care
Babysitting and creative play
Creating/ Cooking family meals
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
The boys can definitely entertain you with dancing and jokes, but we can also teach you some Italian (since the boys don't really speak good English yet), teach you about our culture, how to make Italian food. We would love to show you our beautiful city as well, and the surroundings too. My parents live close to Como, north of Italy, where we usually spend some of our holidays. We would be happy to take you with us during our trips to the north and show you the fantastic places there too.
Projects involving children
This project could involve children. For more information see our guidelines and tips here.
Help
I am looking for a girl (preferebly native English) who can help me taking care of the boys, help me prepare meals on the weekdays (you don't have to be a chef, but you will have to cook quite often), have lunch with Tommaso and Giacomo when they come back from school. In the afternoon the boys have to do their homework and Giachi might need some assistance. Also, it would be nice if you can teach them some English. The workawayer who will live with us will have the mornings free, and mostly all the weekends (Friday, Saturday and Sunday). We love the idea of cultural exchange. We would like to improve our English knowledge and help you learning italian!
We really wish to have wonderful experiences togheter that will enrich all of us!

Accommodation
We live in a peaceful area, in a 5 floor building. Our apartment is on the 5th floor, it has 3 bedrooms, a spacious living room and 2 bathrooms. The workawayer will have her private room with a big bed, a little couch, a desk and wardrobe and we will share the kitchen, bathroom and living room areas. There's a grocery store 3 minutes away from the flat, fruit/vegetable shops just below us, you can find everything at this neighbourhood (bakery, café, bar, pizzeria, post office, clothing stores, etc.).
What else ...
There's an Italian language school (10 minutes by bike, 20/25 minutes by walk) if you would like to learn Italian more intensively, I can give you the details about that.
Pesaro has a train and bus station with really good connections (25 minute walk from our home), from there you can reach bigger cities easily, like Bologna, Ancona, Ravenna, Rimini, Urbino, or even Florence, Rome, Milan.
At summer time, this part of Italy is full of life, young people, everyone is at the bars on the beach, there's always music and good atmosphere. Of course it is quieter in the autumn and winter, but the city's Christmas market is really beautiful and there are always smaller events at the main square (like flower market, French market, concerts, etc.).
