The Experience

I'm seeking a female volunteer to help teach English or Spanish to my daughter, assist us in the kitchen, with household tasks and other activities based on the guest’s skills, as indicated in the required areas. We enjoy a high quality of life in a comfortable apartment; our food is mostly healthy. During weekends we enjoy many connections and friends, plenty of opportunities to socialize, go out, and take trips.

I had a lovely and interesting experience with Samuele, his mother and Elisa. I enjoyed sharing languages and experiencing family life in Italy. The tasks were simple, and it was a valuable cultural experience. One thing that could be improved is clearer communication about when the five working hours start and finish. A little more guidance, such as a short tour of the city, would have helped me feel more comfortable, especially as I was new to the area and unfamiliar with the language and public transport. More opportunities to join the activities mentioned in the profile would also have bee

My experience with Samuele and his family was wonderful. Tuscany is beautiful, and I was welcomed with a lot of warmth and friendship. Elissa is an adorable child, and I loved spending time with the family and helping with meals. I also contributed to Samuele's business strategy, focusing on digital expansion and monetization, and offered a family constellation session to support his personal and professional development. It was a great experience, and the town is beautiful and very close to Florence.

The volunteer work takes place in a family home. The host lives with his 9-year-old daughter with whom the room is shared; volunteers sleep in a bunk bed.
The daily tasks are simple, and the schedule is arranged directly with the host. He is not strict about the number of days off, which is great if you want to take a short trip around the area.
The location is excellent very close to Pontassieve train station. From there, you can reach Firenze Santa Maria Novella station in about 20 minutes, with connections everywherIn Pontassieve, it is also possible to go trekking along the CAI 7 trai.

My experience with Samuele was emotionally exhausting. Although he was polite at first, his attitude changed after I declined an invitation due to my limited budget. His behavior became passive-aggressive, and I often felt that nothing I did was good enough. Tasks were unclear, leaving me waiting for instructions. Three days before my departure, he asked me to organize 30 heavy boxes of books, including during my days off. I left feeling drained and disappointed. In hindsight, I would have preferred to pay for a hostel, as two days are enough to explore Florence.

Samuele replied

Ask yourself: why do you repeatedly resort to lies, both in private and in public?
What kind of life are you building, for yourself and your environment, with this attitude?
Beyond being morally unacceptable, dishonest and unfair, don't you feel that this behaviour is in stark contradiction with your own ethics, humanity and moral values, especially considering the studies you have undertaken?

My experience was broadly positive; I always felt welcomed, respected, and above all included.

Samuel's family made me feel at home, always making sure I enjoyed my experience.

The tasks are varied, schedules are respected, and all the family members are available to lend you a hand when needed.

Endless thanks for this incredibly memorable experience
