    Description

    Hi, we're a family of four: my husband Franco, me, and two girls aged 6 and 10, full of smiles and energy. We live in the countryside, but less than a 10-minute bike ride from the beach! Our cat Uva also lives with us, happily running around the garden and occasionally coming into the house looking for food.
    We live in Imperia, a seaside town, just an hour or so from the French border.
    Summer is our favorite time because we can spend the day in the garden or eating pizza on the beach.

    Ciao siamo una famiglia di 4 io, mio marito Franco e due bimbe di 6 e 10 anni cariche di sorrisi ed energia viviamo in campagna, ma a meno di 10 min in bici dal mare! con noi c'è anche la nostra gatta Uva che scorrazza felice in giardino e ogni tanto entra in casa in cerca di cibo.
    Viviamo ad Imperia una cittadina sul mare e siamo ad un'ora o poco più dal confine francese.
    L'estate è il nostro momento preferito perché possiamo passare le giornate in giardino oppure mangiare una pizza sulla spiaggia.

    Help

    We are looking for someone who will take care of our daughters and who really wants to go to the beach almost every day, who wants to play seriously with them. Whether it's blowing bubbles, taking a bath with them, or simply building sand castles. (We are not looking for someone who stays under the umbrella all the time).
    We want someone who gets involved and wants to spend quality time with the girls, because you learn by playing. Help out with household chores if needed. We offer short cooking lessons and the chance to try your hand at gardening.
    It is required to speak only in English with the girls and play with them

    Cerchiamo qualcuno che si prenda cura delle nostre figlie e che abbia davvero voglia di andare al mare quasi tutti i giorni, che voglia giocare sul serio con loro. Che si tratti di fare le bolle di sapone, fare il bagno con loro, o semplicemente costruire castelli di sabbia. (Non cerchiamo qualcuno che resti tutto il tempo sotto l’ombrellone).
    Vogliamo una persona che si metta in gioco e che voglia passare tempo di qualità con le bimbe, perché giocando si impara. Dare una mano con le faccende domestiche se serve. Offriamo brevi lezioni di cucina e la possibilità di provare a fare giardinaggio.
    È richiesto parlare solo in inglese con le bambine e giocare con loro

    A single room on the ground floor adjacent to the ground floor bathroom, small but comfortable, with a double sofa bed, a clothes rack, and a cabinet. We're open to trying new dishes, so we'd love for visitors to feel free to experiment with us in the kitchen. In the evening, we all dine together and We really appreciate that you're willing to help out - setting the table, clearing it or loading or unloading the dishwasher, and maybe giving the floor a quick sweep. 10 minutes and the kitchen is clean again;
    Lunch can often be quicker and more convenient.

    Camera singola al piano terra adiacente al bagno del piano terra, piccola ma confortevole con divano letto matrimoniale rella per abiti e mobiletto.
    Siamo aperti ad assaggiare piatti che non conosciamo e quindi ci piacerebbe che le persone che verranno a trovarci possano sentirsi liberi di sperimentare con noi in cucina.
    La sera ceniamo tutti insieme il pranzo può essere spesso più veloce e fuori casa

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    Imperia has several areas worth visiting, and there's a bus stop near us, as well as a long bike path. We provide a bicycle and occasionally offer rides. The French border is about an hour away by train, allowing you to visit Nice, Menton, and Monaco. If you're a fan of small villages, the hinterland offers some truly picturesque landscapes.
    We generally maintain cleanliness and don't wear shoes in our homes.

    Ad Imperia ci sono diverse zone che meritano di essere visitate e vicino a noi c'è una fermata del bus, e parte una lunga ciclabile. mettiamo a disposizione una bicicletta e ci offriamo occasionalmente per passaggi. A circa un’ora di treno si raggiunge il confine francese e si possono visitare Nizza, Menton, Monaco. Se siete appassionati di piccoli borghi l’entroterra offre paesaggi molto suggestivi.
    In generale teniamo alla pulizia e non entriamo in casa con le scarpe.
