Description
hi! Irene here, single mother of Uma, a fourteen 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 when I'm working, or away for a day. the father is present but her age is complicated, and I need a bit of supervision at home.. and help with homeworks, even if she will say "no!"

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 :))

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 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; she will stay by him by night sometimes

Haha, I had an incredible time - I was exposed to the richness of Faenza, all its hidden gems, and treated like a friend rather than a burden. 100/10❣️
