  Description

  We are a family living and working on a wine and dairy farm situated 30
  min South of the beautiful city of Florence, Italy. Our family consists of four members including our 4-year-old son and 2-year-old daughter.
  Prior to becoming parents, both of us had the opportunity to travel extensively around the world, where we gained valuable knowledge and expertise in the field of winemaking. We were fortunate enough to learn from other people and share our knowledge with them.
  However, since the arrival of our little ones, we have dedicated ourselves to the responsibility of raising them while also running our farm. We take great pride in ensuring that our children receive the best upbringing, while simultaneously giving our utmost attention to our farm and its activities.
  Additionally, we have embarked on a new agricultural project near Siena, which began in 2019. It is located just 45 minutes south from where we currently reside.
  We have taken on a beautiful and challenging task of planting vineyards in a steep and high elevation area. This area is characterised by a traditional Tuscan landscape with numerous dry wall stone terraces.
  We believe that our passion and dedication for agriculture and winemaking, combined with our commitment to our family, makes us an ideal choice for those who value quality products and responsible farming practices.

  Aide

  We are looking for a couple that both loves the countryside, being outside, and are excellent at swimming. The idea is to have a couple that can help in two main things: kids and agricultural help in the garden.
  
  You will have your own independent bedroom in our house and be able to join us for meals.
  
  We are asking for 25 hours each person weekly.
  
  Kids:
  
  The children will have a school break from July until mid-September, during which we will primarily require assistance in the mornings and on one or two evenings each week. During the school term in June, September and October, we may need your support in the afternoons or in the mornings should they fall ill. The maximum weekly hours are 25.
  
  A driver's license with manual shift experience is essential, as we live in the countryside.
  
  Some housework is required, such as tidying up the children's bedroom, organizing toys, helping with laundry, unloading the dishwasher, and sometimes preparing meals for the family. These tasks are an important part of our daily routine and we kindly ask that you take an active role in helping out with them.
  
  Agricultural project:
  
  It will be mainly helping in our garden and help maintaining the surroundings of the house. We are seeking assistance with various manual tasks during the growing summer season, including managing the growing vegetables, harvesting, and other related duties.
