  Description

  Hello,
  I'm Stella, mother of two boys, Lou (6 years old) and Auri (4 years old). I live in the same house as my mother, Erika (just upstairs). We are looking for someone who would like to help my mother in and around the house, especially in the garden. My mother now lives with another lady in her fifties on the ground floor.
  We live in a small, beautiful, and quiet village. The people here are friendly and know each other. There are numerous recreational opportunities in the surrounding countryside, such as hiking, swimming in the river, mountain biking, climbing and bouldering, canyoning, cycling, and mountaineering. The natural environment here is very beautiful and lush and has a lot to offer. We live very close to many valleys, each with its own unique character. The lake is only a 20-minute bike ride away in Locarno, the nearest town; Ascona, a very touristic and picturesque village, is also nearby. Here in the area, you can enjoy swimming in the rivers and lakes – the locations are beautiful. Foraging for wild herbs and mushrooms is also possible when in season. Further afield, you'll find pump tracks, mountain bike trails, bouldering rocks, and climbing walls... come and discover our region!
  
  We are an open and friendly family and would love to welcome someone who is friendly, respectful, independent and loves children, gardening, and nature.
  
  My mother enjoys eating fresh vegetables from the garden and is primarily vegetarian.

  Travelers can learn and practice the Italian language and culture, have fun with us or in the surrounding area, play sports, and explore nature. Visit Locarno or Ascona to meet new people – Locarno hosts numerous events in the summer (the film festival and "Moon and Stars," a concert series). You can relax by the river or lake, sunbathe, swim, or hike in the mountains. There are beautiful spots in nature; you can walk to the river, cycle to the lake, or hike directly from the house into the mountains.

  Bicycles are available for exploring the area. Locarno is a 25-minute bike ride away.
  
  The food is mainly vegetarian and simple. We don't waste food, so we also eat leftovers or bread from previous days; it's best if you're not too fussy about food. We live very consciusly and in a sustainable way.
  
  We're looking for someone who is responsible, quiet, and tidy, ideally not younger than 30 years, but we can evaluate case by case:)
  
  If we find that something isn't working well or you're not happy, we can renegotiate the Workaway arrangement at any time, either party agreeing to do so. We lie to be kind open and transparent about expectations and needs, let us know if this talks to you and you'd like to explore this area of Switzerland!
