Description
We moved back to Italy three years ago after a long time spent in Cambridge UK. We speak English and Italian fluently.
We live now in the picturesque countryside of Tuscany, 2 kms from the historical and elegant Siena, with two happy funny kids. It is a very lovely place surrounded by vineyards and olive trees, you would need to love the countryside and happy to bike or walk to go everywhere.
We would need you to help us 15 hours per week: helping with cooking, laundry, entertaining the kids,setting up our new business for social activities provider for a community of neighbours , such as emptying rooms, relocate furniture, gardening hard and soft, painting , exploring the wood for track tracing on maps. Therefore love for nature , creativity and fixing skills are highly appreciated.
We are generally very positive family, always ready to laugh (sometimes we get angry too ). Our children are regularly active and outgoing.I am an Architect and Giotto is an aeronautical engineer, we do those jobs part time.
Workawayers will not be asked to help towards the business or any business activity, and that any help with preparing food will be for the family's own consumption only, not for any paying guests.
I am sure you will have great time with us.

What else ...
Tuscany , the region where Siena is, is rich of historic treasures considered one-of-a-kind worldwide: the region is full of art cities and little picturesque villages with a huge cultural heritage, but is also extraordinary because of its fascinating landscape, with its bucolic countryside and rolling hills. Not to mention its amazing islands and coastal areas, its protected parks and, last but not least, its food, simple with authentic flavors, and its wines, ranked among the best in the world: to put it simply, there are really many reasons to visit Tuscany.
