  Description

  Hi, my name is Giulia and I'm 47 y.o, I'm a mother of a seven years old and a eleven year old girls , we live in a lovely country side little village,( population of about 30 people, just few houses, no restaurant, no shops ) called LA BEFA , area of MURLO , province of SIENA - TUSCANY -
  Our typical tuscan rustic house has a garden, we have four cats and two dogs. There is a train station walking distance, 10 minutes drive is the closest town called BUONCONVENTO and we are only 25 minutes away from the very famous MONTALCINO city. We are surrounded by wood forest with great tracks for walks and bikes ride .... it's the perfect place for people who love silence, nature and sports.
  
  For this summer we are looking for an energetic person with good energy and good soul to look after our girls and two friends. They leave next door, a boy of 5 and his brother of 9 y.o. They like to play outside, run with their bikes, go down the river, play with the dogs... they are funny and independent. No cell phone, iPad or TV. They like to work little project like gardening, carpenter, drawing... play music and learn new things.
  
  We can give accommodation, a private room with bathroom at our neighbors's house and fully excess at our house, kitchen, living room, bathroom. We will also provide food, we like to have our meal all together. We will welcome you in our family and would love to share time together while my daughters can learn English.
  
  Our daughters go to Waldorf school, we don't really like the summer camp in the area and I'd like to create a good opportunity for them to learn English and meet different people and culture. I'm very busy during the summer while the rest of the year I'm with them. We already experience two Workaway and we love it! Each one brought something special and an unique experience.
  
  
  Traveling, discovering the world, understanding one another is the salvation for our future.
  
  Giulia, Alessandro, Sofia and Jasmine

  What else ...

  Tuscany and this country side is perfect for people that love nature, outside sport, food and wine. I'm a sommelier and can take you to visit and meet the best Brunello di montalcino wine producer. pubblic transport are not the best but you can still get around , a car or a scooter would be better.
