  Help

  We are an italian family with 2 children at the age of 10 and 6. We live in a village called Viagrande near the city of Catania. Our house is an indipendent one with a small garden.
  
  We love nature and simple things. We love traveling and sharing cultural experiences.
  
  We're searching for helping hands with:
  - Babysittig
  - House-keeping
  - Gardening
  - Cooking
  - and more..
  - language practice
  
  From a workawayer we expect to:
  Babysitting (playing with the kids, doing activities with them)
  Help with housework (cooking, washing dishes, type up rooms and so on.)
  
  Sharing experiences and have good time together
  
  I wish have good experiences, so I would like to be clear from the beginning😊
  
  No smoke in the house
  No phones while you're doing activities with children (unless is important)
  I ask you cooperation during meals.
  
  We are looking for interesting exchange with friendly people from other countries. You should be open minded, specially for children.
