Description
We consider someone who can stay for at least 2–3 months and has some experience dealing with children. In exchange, we are open to discussing a weekly pocket money, if you work more than 4/5 hours per day ( as up to 5 hours are included in the exchange of food and accommodation), or if you put in at least some effort, in this case we will reward you. The amount depends on your experience with children, or at least "effort" and on your willingness to help with some light housekeeping around the house (like loading or unloading the dishwasher, tidying up the table, and passing the vacuum cleaner). We don't pay any pocket money to people who use our house like a free hotel, or watch TV all day, as that's not very helpful for our daughter. We are very busy parents, and we appreciate polite, responsible, independent, individuals who use common-sense and are willing to help when they can see that some help is needed. Don't expect us to explain everything in detail, as we appreciate some common-sense and some flexibility from both sides. If you are the right person, you will get good friends, a friendly and relaxed family environment, some family joy, a weekly pocket money, and a place to live in a safe environment near the beach.
A female workaway is preferred for dealing with my daughter.
We are a sociable, relaxed, and caring family, although we are very busy with our jobs, in yacht engineering and design. We live in a 4-bedroom house with a garden in a quiet road in Chiavari. The village has parks, cafes, shops, cinema, markets, lovely beaches, and a swimming pool. There are lots of fun things to do! The train station is only 10 mins walking from there i can go anywhere.
We are an international Italian/Spanish/British family . Me, the mom, I’m a Sales and Marketing Manager in the yachting industry, full time, my partner Max is a Yacht Engineer.
We are looking for someone, who can help us From Monday to Friday, for at least 4/5 hours a day, helping us with our kid school drops, some homework, and cooking light meals on a daily basis (lunch and dinner).
You will have your own bedroom with internet, a terrace, and privacy. You will have plenty of free time in the morning, evening, and weekends, as most of the help is required in the afternoon.
We would like to share our language, traditions with someone who is cheerful and loves the family environment, we hope you will enjoy this experience with our family. We had au pairs and nannys from all over the world for more than 12 years, and we had so much positive feedback.
We can only afford to have individuals in good mental health, so if you are suffering from depression, epilepsy, panic attacks, or are taking any sort of medication, please let us know in advance.

Help
IMPORTANT: We consider only someone that can stay at least 2/3 months and has experience in dealing with children. In exchange we can discuss a weekly pocket money, the amount depends on your experience and attitude and hours you put in. We will pay someone who is able to do at least the basic chores. Primarily, we need some help with our daughter by helping her get ready for school between 7:30am and 8:30am , then picking her up from school in the afternoon, doing some creative activities like reading or painting, drawing, and then, at 6pm cooking a light dinner (basic pasta, rice, vegetables, etc.). We need you for 4/5 hours/day, and the extra hours you will get paid, after a previous discussion and planning. We would like someone who is caring, responsible and can cook a light dinner.
