    Description

    Hi, we are a young family living in the Tuscan countryside: me, my partner Gabriele, our daughter Iside, and our dog Pablo. We are looking for a reliable and committed person (who doesn't use alcohol, cigarettes, or drugs) to help us with daily household chores and care for our daughter, so we can have more time to focus on our work. Specifically, this person will spend time with Iside, playing with her, going for walks, teaching her little skills, and caring for her like a little sister, so we don't have to worry about constantly keeping an eye on her. Additionally, we will occasionally ask her to help with light housework, tending to the vegetable garden and chicken coop, and caring for the animals. We would be delighted to host her in this beautiful, wild area of Tuscany, full of woods and wild animals. We will take her on walks, visiting villages, and learning about the ancient history of our region with other friends.

    Ciao, siamo una giovane famiglia che vive in campagna tra le colline toscane; io, il mio compagno Gabriele, la nostra bambina Iside e il nostro cagnolino Pablo.
    Cerchiamo una persona affidabile e seria (che non faccia utilizzo di alcool, sigarette o droghe) che collabori con noi nella gestione quotidiana delle faccende di casa e nel prendersi cura di nostra figlia, in modo che si possa avere più tempo per dedicarci alla nostra attività lavorativa.
    In particolar modo, questa persona dovrà dedicarsi a passare del tempo con Iside, giocare con lei, fare passeggiate, insegnargli piccole cose e seguirla come fosse una piccola sorellina così da toglierci il pensiero costante di tenerla sotto controllo.
    Inoltre, occasionalmente chiederemo di svolgere piccole attività di pulizia in casa, manutenzione dell'orto e del pollaio e cura degli animali.
    Saremo felici di ospitarla in questa bellissima area selvaggia della Toscana, piena di boschi e animali selvatici.
    La porteremo con noi a fare passeggiate, visitare paesi e a conoscere la storia antica della nostra zona insieme ad altri amici.
