  Description

  Hi!
  I’m Carlotta, my family is composed by Federico, my husband and our two little boys Tancredi and Ludovico. 5 and 2 years old.
  
  I studied art and design, I work for an entertainment service cooperative, and my job is organizing event. I love music, contemporary art, indie movies, pizza and aperitivi, going to the beach, walking in the nature and attending yoga class.
  
  Federico, my husband, is a sound engineering and from June to august he is almost never at home, because is the moment in the year that he works the most, concerts, theatre and conventions.
  
  We are looking for help with our two babies, especially to come with me to the beach in the weekend and to have let me have some free evenings:)
  
  I love knowing new people and I believe that every connection is an enrichment!

  Help

  The help we request is especially with our children, so we need you to have patient and experience in doing that:)
  1) Pick up the children from school some days ad going with them to the park
  
  2) going to the beach with me and the children in the weekend
  
  3)taking care of the children in the weekend that me and Federico work, we have also Federico’s parents that can help so we can find a way to share the time with babies.
  
  4)1-2 evening that you stay at home with babies and we go out.
  
  5) helping me at home keeping it in order (especially boys room) and helping me 1/2 a week folding and storing their clothes in the closet
  
  Times are flexible and needs might change according to actvities and events.. I will try to make a weekly plan every Friday so that we can get organized accordingly. Note that we do require some flexibility from you as plans with kids can suddenly change (sometimes kids get sick, they are too tred to do a certain activity and we have to be able to work around that).
