  Help

  You are the right people if you can help me with my 3 children (11/9/4 yo) and with some light house chores, as if my home were yours. I am searching for a joyful woman, like a elder sister or a auntie that can play with them. We hosted 5 aupair girls, and they were so lovely and helpful that I want to extend the experience also to other people. I will ask you some help in the morning (from 7:30) to prepare my little one and than bring him to school, than free time for you until 15:30/16:00 and than you should help me in the afternoon staying with them, playing, doing homework or bringing them to sports. I will also ask you to stay with them when they get ill and have to stay at home from school.
