    Description

    Ciao! we are 4 plus 1 English setter dog called Macchia. I'm Valentina 46, Lorenzo 45, Viola 16 years old and Mirta 13 years old.
    I work for our family farm in the beautiful Sicilian countryside, basically in the summer time from June to august we live there, but during the winter we live in Palermo because girls go to the school, Viola is studying at first year of high school and Mirta is studying at first year of a secondary. Lorenzo is an architect.
    Usually I work during the morning and in the afternoon I'm totally dedicate to the activities of the girls; homework and sports, Viola is playing aerial acrobatics 3 times a week and Mirta artistic gymnastic twice a week, then I cook cake or go around I love to paint with them and read books.
    I prepare lunch and dinner usually.
    All the family speak English, because we use to travel a lot, we use to live at the Bahamas, Switzerland and Brazil for a period and we use to have many au pair from all around the world, because we enjoy different cultures and exchanges
