More details about your skills

We both grew up in hands-on Australian families as one of three siblings, where DIY projects and regular trips to the hardware store were part of everyday life. We’ve worked together on house renovations and picked up a range of practical skills along the way.

Gardening has always been important to us too. We’ve built our own wooden garden beds and learned how to grow and care for vegetables, and we’re comfortable around animals, with Eva regularly helping look after hens and dogs at her family home.

Eva has several years of experience working with children as a nanny for different families. While Cruz hasn’t worked as a nanny, he’s great with kids and grew up in a family where caring for younger cousins came naturally.

Background-wise, Eva has a degree and Honours degree in Psychology and Business. She has worked in the mental health space, including conducting art therapy sessions for young people, supporting Indigenous people, and being a counsellor for those experiencing homelessness. Cruz has a degree in Law and International Relations. He has worked as a paralegal in Perth, and has more excitedly spent time working in the court system of Jakarta, Indonesia.

We are also both lifeguards in Australia and that is where we met. So, we are very capable swimmers and people around the ocean and water.

What else ...

After complete our studies in Australia, we moved to Italy to learn the language and a different way of life! We're travelling around in Italy at the moment for the year, looking to experience a range of things we don't know about, make friends and get a little closer to what it is that makes us feel at peace. We're hoping this time we have created for ourself gives us a chance to find part, or at least the start, of what it is we want to do, individually, and together.
