Description
We are a family with two kids (10 and 8). We all speak English and Italian. I need help with looking after a small group of kids and with homeschooling. Teaching kids in the most fun way possible, inspired by Montessori. We are into healthy eating (me and my daughter are vegans, but my husband and son are omnivorous, three of our family are gluten free as well), living healthy and we have a cat. Our neighbours have animals such as donkeys, goats and sheep. You can take lovely walks here and from here it's possible to visit many places such as Bergamo Città Alta, Endine, Lovere, but also Milan, Venice and Como. We are used to having guests who feel like part of the family because we also have an Airbnb listing so you can encounter many nationalities here and have great conversation. This year we started a vegetable garden, so if you have gardening experience and can help us rookies with that it would be great. We are looking for someone who will stay longer so we can finish the school year with stability for the homeschooling kids.

Help
I mostly need help with homeschooling, together we will look up the kids' government programs and then we will teach them that in the most entertaining way possible. Inspired by Montessori. The weekends are always off and the work time is not divided so that will leave you time to yourself to go sightseeing or hiking.

Our veranda is an annex to our house but is independant cause it has a bathroom and a kitchenette. Lots of windows where you can see nature and a hill. It's like waking up in a forest :)
