Description
hi! Irene here, single mother of Uma, a thirteen years old girl who is in her very rebel phase of live :) we live in Italy, in the famous ceramic city Faenza, nearby hills and others famous artistic sites. I'm searching for a little help to look after Uma and our cat Macchia when I'm travelling.. the father is present but her age is complicated, and I need a bit of supervision at home.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
I'm a therapist and I would love to exchange experiences of different medicines in cultures, I can speak about this for days! is my great passion and continous research in life, since 27 years. I really love nature and as soon as I can every week I join a natural place in Appennino to walk and regenerate. Uma loves art, music and stay with friends all time, but she can't stand school and rules :) she's very smart but also very complex .. and teenage is quite a phase! we are not so fond of "cucina romagnola" as much people here are, I love silence and she loves high volumes, so sometimes this house is a mess, but there is love :))

Help
my daughter is growing up so fast and she is.. soo in love with freedom :))) I need someone who can have a look on her when I'm travelling abroad, (half august and half september), knowing that.. she can't stand to be "babysitted", because she's now 13. we live with a lovely cat, very free too (going outside in the backyard and sleeping in here when she wants to);

Accommodation
we have a host room with toilet; the house is quite big; we live 5 minutes by foot to the city centre. our kitchen is usable, I prefer in some hours and not in others, because I stay upstairs but is a open space and I can hear everything that is going on.. and due to my work I need silence in some periods of the day. When I travel some habits can obviously change.
What else ...
is my first searching of a help like this.. I'd love Uma can meet people of others cultures, but I'm also very protective of my living space because it must be a nest in which I rest and regenerate.. I'm planning a journey of 13 days at the end of august and after the experience of last year I prefer to have help around the house here, because Uma is a little bit out of control when she knows house is free :) and the father is working all day, so can't check everytime where she is.
