  Description

  My husband and I own a yoga retreat and beach club in Sicily- it is open from April-November. When the retreat is closed, we split our time between home and travelling.
  
  Our first baby (Santiago) was born in March 2025 so we are looking for help around the house and with Santiago. Baby care will always be done with one of us also present.
  
  When she left our first au pair sent me this message: Thank you for everything and amazing experience. I had a great time being part of your family. I loved seeing Santi grow and how fast he is changing and learning new things. You will always have a special place in my heart ❤️ I am already missing you all 🫶
  
  How much you’ll need to help will vary dependent on activities we have going on. I am happy to be flexible and discuss hours week by week. So you’ll have tilme to go to yoga classes and workshops (when the retreat is open), the beach (5min walk from our house), go sightseeing etc.
  
  I am British and my husband is Italian. We are outgoing, sociable and relaxed. Our baby is really cute, easygoing (unless he is hungry or tired, of course) and happy to be held by other people.
  We also have 2 dogs and a few cats- we have other volunteers to help with their care.
  
  When the retreat is open, we have an international team of staff and volunteers (in their 20s and 30s) who work at the retreat and beach club. So you will have plenty of people to socialise with. You will be welcome to join them for meals at the retreat or beach club. We have been hosting Workawayers here for years and have always had good experiences.
