Description
Buongiorno!
We are a family of five that recently renovated our families' 17 C farmhouse. We have our home, the children, the fruit and olive orchards, lavender field, garden plots and grazing land for our 3 horses to look after. It's a big job! I am looking for a positive, energetic, responsible and hard-working person to assist us with our many outdoor or indoor projects, mostly weeding, cleaning and organizing!
Please let us know if you have any experience with any of these skills; yard/home maintenance, gardening, teaching, painting or hold a driver's license...and what passions you may be able to share with us, like a passion for guitar or drawing or animals or storytelling, for example.

Help
I request approximately 25 hrs per week and you can organise that how you wish. We would like help with outdoor projects, specifically gardening; weeding and indoor help of decluttering and cleaning. The rest of your time is yours to spend how you wish.
We are a 50-minute train ride from Florence and live in the Mugello Valley, rich in art, food, wine making. There are a multitude of biking, hiking or running trails with stupendous views right outside our gate. We have high speed, reliable WiFi. Night life not so happening though and it is family living.
