    Description

    Hi, I’m Mara, and I live with my husband and our sweet newborn baby, Kamar (which means “moon”). We are in Bitonto, a charming city located just two train stops from Bari Airport Italy, in the stunning Bari province of southern Italy. Our city is full of history, culture, and beauty, and we are surrounded by amazing places you can explore during your free time, like Matera, Alberobello, Bari, Monopoli, Polignano, and Lecce.

    Our home is in the heart of the old city of Bitonto, and we would love to share not just our space but also our culture, food, and time with you. You’ll have your own private room, and we speak Italian, English, French, and Arabic, so you can feel comfortable communicating in the language you prefer.

    I’ve worked with many associations and participated in exchange programs, and now I’m excited to offer others the same opportunity to experience life in a new place. We’re looking for someone who enjoys spending time with babies, loves exploring new cultures, and is happy to help us with daily tasks.

    What we ask from you:
    • Babysitting and playing with Kamar
    • Light housekeeping to keep our home cozy
    • Running small errands or shopping if needed

    In return, we’ll provide delicious meals, a comfortable room, and plenty of free time to discover the beauty of southern Italy. If you love babies and are curious about Italy, we would be so happy to welcome you into our family.

    What else ...

    We would love to host someone who is kind, respectful, and has a positive attitude. A warm smile and a friendly personality are important to us, especially since you’ll be spending time with our baby. We prefer a non-smoker to keep our home environment healthy and comfortable. If you are open-minded, enjoy cultural exchanges, and are happy to lend a hand, you will fit perfectly into our family!
