Live-in cleaner and babysitter


The experience

We are looking for a person to help us with house cleaning and looking after the children. In the mornings the children are at school or kindergarten; dad works from home (smart working), so he is at home but will often have to be away. Mom works part-time. We are looking for someone who can clean the house and take care of the children according to weekly needs. If you study or work remotely it could be perfect. We live in Ravenna city center, with a private room and a private bathroom.

Program Details

We are an Italian-Moroccan family who speak Spanish, French and Italian.

This year we are starting a new work adventure that will lead us to spend more time at home; we are looking for a girl who can help our family according to the weekly work commitments, there is no fixed weekly hours total (but not many)

The children go to school but if they get sick we would need help.
We expect to meet a proactive, flexible, and organized person, who likes playing with children and who is full of energy.
During the mornings you will always be free; the children go to school and you can tidy the house at your own pace (washing machine, dishwasher, beds, vacuum cleaner, etc.) about 2 hours every morning.
Sometimes you will need to pick up the children from school/kindergarten and wait until our return from work about 1 hour.

In our house you will have your own space, your room (double bed and desk if you need to study or work), your private bathroom and plenty of free time.
If you are a student or a remote worker and you want to live an experience in Italy, this is your chance; I can also help you find a free Italian course!

We live in Ravenna close to everything in the city center (historic); 2 minutes to the supermarket, park, gym, etc.; you will also have a bike with which you can go wherever you want and travel on weekends.


Activities & Shift

✔️In the morning while the children are at school, a little help at home with daily chores (washing machine, dishwasher, beds, vacuum cleaner, etc.) about 2 hours every morning and if you like cooking, that would be a plus.

👶Help with the children in case of a busy work week; if they get sick it may happen that we pick them up from school or kindergarten 1 or 2 afternoons and wait for our return for 1 or 2 hours at most (you can go to the park or play at home)

📖There are currently no pre-set shifts; they are decided together week by week.

The children are used to someone who looks after them and we are used to living with people who are not family but who almost always become part of it 💓


Rules

We do not have strict rules aside from common sense and not exposing children to too many screens. We love creativity and sport.
Actually the only rule is no shoes in the house 🩴😂

We would like to find someone who can stay 3-6 months.
You can speak with the girl we are hosting; she will tell you everything you want to know about us and about the city.
