Description
Hi! We are Elena (Italian, 30 yo), Richard (Canadian, 36 yo), and Jordan and Fiona (6 months old)
We are a new and young family, we are very friendly and welcoming with anyone we meet.
The arrival of the twins has been a blessing: they require a lot of work and focus, which is why it is important to have some time without them during the day, to relax the mind and go back to them fully recharged. We believe it is important to love the self first, in order to be loving to the people around us. :)
The twins have different personality and different needs, they are a lot of fun and they are teaching us a lot!
Types of help and learning opportunities
Babysitting and creative play
Help around the house
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We are a simple family, that loves being outdoor, mostly at the beach.
Mum likes her yoga and going to the farmers market, dad likes to swim and run. We both love to go for a surf, when time allows :)
Living with us will give you the chance to connect to other people in the community and eventually look for a paid job, as your hours with us are sufficient to pay the rent of the room.
Projects involving children
This project could involve children. For more information see our guidelines and tips here.
Help
Who are we looking for? Someone with..
👶🏼 experience with babies,references ~ working with children check are a must
🙂 reliable, positive attitude and good energies
💪🏽 strong arms: think about this...one baby needs to be held,and as soon as you put him down,you MIGHT need to pick the other one up ...you basically don’t need to go to the gym anymore!YAY!
Practically, you'll be asked to look after the twins while mum runs errands or while she studies for her university courses. You'll be working for 3 hrs each day, for 5 days per week.
Languages spoken
English: Fluent
Italian: Fluent
Accommodation
We live in a house that has 3 bedroom and 2 bathrooms: you will have your own toilet and bathroom.
Babies take a bath in your bathtub daily, so hopefully it is not a problem for you, as there is also a shower in the same bathroom.
We have surfboards that you can rent and we live at a 10 minutes walking distance from the beach in Suffolk park. Come and enjoy our community!
What else ...
We would love it if you were an Italian speaker (mum speaks Italian to the babies to get them used to it,and so it’d be amazing if you do the same), but it is not strictly necessary.
Ideally you love being outdoor: we live 10 mins walk from the beach and 20 mins bike from Byron town..hopefully you won’t lock yourself in your room for most of the day eheh
