I currently live with my parents in a big house in the historical city center in Massa (MS), Tuscany (Italy).
I have two childred of 12 and 8 years old (one male and one female).
The house is structured on 3 levels plus one underground level that is used as cellar (in Total 4 levels).
Un the upper level a big terrace is available with a nice view on the mountains.
Massa is located in the middle of Tuscany and you can easily reach a lot of famous historical cities including Florence, Pisa, Lucca and also many other less famous medieval villages.
Moreover seaside is only 4 km far and also the VIP city Forte dei Marmi is 30 minutes far.
If you are interested in walking an mountains Massa is really near to Apuane Alps where the white Carrara marble is extracted (several mines can also be visited) and also one of the most famous italian cave is there (Antro del Corchia).
Last but not least: the food is incredibly good in this area!!!
Babysitting and creative play
General Maintenance
Help around the house
Language practice
Teaching
This project could involve children. For more information see our guidelines and tips here.
Obviously it will be a great chance to improve italian language skills. Then if interested in Architecture and art, the area is plenty of verynice places to visit.
We like to cook for our family and we are quite professional on that, so if requested, we can teach our italian kitchen secrets to our guest :)
I currently run a shop and the main activity is about graphics and printing on a large amount of different materials. We have several different machines and devices for that and if requested we can teach how to use them effectively.
I need support in:
- babysitting my children while I'm working (my shop is 10 minutes walk from my house)
- english speaking activity with the children
- generic help in making english homework in order to improve the quality of their school learning
- is needed that the guest speaks also a little bit of italian to interact with the family
- collect children from school and eventually bring them to afternnon post school activities
- Driving licence would be preferred if possible (to facilitate above point)
Italian: Fluent
Private room with shared bathroom (first or secondo floor, reacheable using stairs).
The use of the kitchen is included and also of the common spaces (that are really big in the house).
Massa have a train station and bicicle can be easily used (also private car and moto/moped wuold be a good option).
We have public transports, the number of passages during the day is not very high, but considering the city is quite small they can be easily used as well.
As mentioned before Massa is in Tuscany, so _hundreds_ of very nice places are asily reachable via tran or car.
