    Description

    Hi!
    I'm Brì (38 years old) and I live with my little daughter Nina (1.5 years old).

    I'm a single mother, recently separated, and I'm rebuilding a new balance with my daughter.
    In the past I also traveled as a helper. I crossed the Atlantic to Cuba and lived for a year on a boat in the Caribbean, then hitchhiked through Eastern Europe. I truly believe in cultural exchange and in sharing everyday life in a simple and authentic way.

    Now we live in Milan and I’m looking for someone who would like to share a bit of our daily rhythm and help me keep our home peaceful and well organized, so I can spend more quality time with Nina.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    I work during the day and in the evenings I dedicate most of my time to my daughter, so I’m not always very present — and I prefer to be honest about that.

    What I can offer is something different:
    • A real immersion in everyday Italian life in Milan.
    • A lively, international home where friends, colleagues and couchsurfers often come and go.
    • Independence and trust — I don’t control your time, and you will have space to live your own experience.
    • The chance to connect with my network of people from different countries and backgrounds.
    • Conversations about travel, the sea, life choices, and different ways of living — when time allows.

    If you are looking for constant hosting and daily activities together, this might not be the right place.
    If instead you are looking for a genuine exchange, autonomy, and to experience Italy from the inside while being part of a dynamic home, you might enjoy staying with us.

    Help

    I’m looking for 4 hours a day, 5 days a week.

    What I mainly need:
    • Cleaning the house and keeping it fresh and tidy.
    • Cooking lunch and dinner for me and you (simple and healthy meals — nothing complicated, just good homemade food).
    • Laundry and general organization.

    Our home is lively and cheerful. We often have friends or couchsurfers coming and going. It’s not a silent house — it’s a warm, open and welcoming space. If you enjoy being around people and a bit of movement, you will probably feel comfortable here.

    Women only.

    Please write to me 2–3 weeks before you would like to come (not earlier).

    If you are practical, warm, flexible and happy to be part of an active home with a little child’s energy around, we’ll be happy to welcome you!!!
