    Description

    We are Micòl (51), Arturo (18), Cosimo (15), and Amir (8).
    I NEED SOMEONE FOR JUNE
    Arturo will be away and Cosimo amd Amir are studying for their annual exam. Cosimo appreciates manual creative work, so sometimes he wants to learn new skills from adults.

    We live in a small and simple house on the hill in Cassibile, 10km from Siracusa, near the "Riserva Naturale di Cavagrande del Cassibile" and near the beach of Fontane Bianche.
    We are an unschooling family.

    If you are connected with NVC, you are very, very welcome.

    June is time for exams so it is a pleasure for me to have extra help.I love someone who can cook for us sometimes.I also appreciate a lot having an adult to talk with an the end of the day maybe with a glass of wine.

    Details of the works we would like to do are below. We would like to host people who can drive in case it is needed.

    We have water only from the rain so we ask to our hosts to be very careful in using it.
    That's why I ask you to use a compost toilet and an external shower where the water is recycled.

    We want to host people:
    -who understand that we are sharing the house, so we clean common spaces together or with turns
    - who tries to respect and use carefully food, water, electricity by not wasting them


    Italian speakers are very much welcomed from my kids!!!
    We don't smoke and prefer to host no smokers.
    Bring your musical instrument if you play....we need you so much!!!

    We live with 2 dogs and a cat at the moment

    PLEAS APPLY ONLY IF YOU READ EVERYTHING
