About the workproject

We need 1 volunteer

We are a couple living in a small village on the top of a hill in the heart of Tuscany. We are exactly in between Pontedera (the homeland of "Vespa" Piaggio) and Volterra a very nice secret town which is worldwide famous for its ancient inhabitants: Etruscans. We have 2 daughters and they and their partners work everyday so we take care of their children: Marina (8), Marta (5) and Giorgia (1). We are lucky to have the chance to enjoy them but somethimes we wish a little help and this is the reason why we subscribed Hovos. We wish only English mother tongues because our children are learning English and this can a way for improving it.

We are Lucia and Paolo, we have always lived in Peccioli and we have been together for the past 45 years but: do not be scared! We are openmind and very enthusiastic to share time with other people. Until 2007 we had run a grocery in the village. Now we are on retirement but we never stop working: Lucia cooks everyday and she prepares soups, cakes for our family and for our dauhters' family. i pick up our grandchildren from school and daycares, I lead them to sports and out for walks. We run a simple life based in our village but we are sure you would not get bored with us.
