Description
We have travelled a lot worldwide and we’ve been hosting workawayers for the last few years. We are a family of 3 and we live in a big house with garden, close to Milan. I work in the real estate rental field and my husband in the medical field. I volunteer for an association who help local families in need. We would prefer long term stay.
We would be very happy to host a smiling, kind and polite woman. We mainly need help with daily house chores, like cleaning, organizing etc. and assisting me in my activities. Inform us about your passions and skills and if possible we'll take advantage of that! For example we hosted workawayers who were great photographers and edited both family portrait and professional pictures, one who was so good in doing massages and painting walls or a stylist who was so good in renewing spaces, or students great in social media ! We preferably like to find an English or Spanish mother tongue tidy, humble and with organizational skills, that can also help our 14 years old daughter to improve her English and Spanish skills.
Gardening, manual works and cooking skills are well appreciated!

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Cultural exchange and learning…:
We’ll be happy to give you tips about Milan and Italy, and Sveva can teach you a bit of Italian if you want. Also, we can think about projects according to your skills and to the needs of our family.
You can enjoy the quiet countryside of our area while being just 30 minutes away by bus from Milan. You can choose if you prefer to walk and cycle in the nature or go to the cosmopolitan city of Milan, where you’ll find big opportunities like historical places, museums, shops, events, pubs and restaurants. Also, in less than 2 hours you can reach mountains, lakes and seaside -a lot of day trip opportunities!
Help
We’re looking preferably for an english mother tongue smiling soul that can help us keep home tidy and who loves organising and cleaning.
There's a daily tidy up routine and then every week a specific project to help on (Gardening, reorganising a specific space, help me in my charity work etc...)
We prefer long term stay (from 3 months till one year)
