Dear candidate, we are a friendly family and we hope you can have a great experience with us. We are looking for a a girl, preferably with a minimum age of 23. We will need 5 hours per day (approximately 3 in the morning and 2 in the afternoon, but this is flexible), helping out on a variety of tasks: some help with my mum, that is going for a walk with her, ensuring she takes her medicines and she drinks the required quantities of liquids daily - not the easiest task :), some house cleaning and (only if your mother tongue is English or Brazilian Portuguese) some reading and playing with my daughter. For the rest of the day (and in the evenings), you can go out exploring the island, enjoy the beaches (the nearest one is only 300 meters away) and have fun with the new friends you will make.

We are a family of 4: myself, my wife Roseane, our baby Lorena (3 years old) and my mum (84). We will need help for 3 months, between late June and late September. During this time, we will be predominantly in Ischia, beautiful island in the gulf of Naples, where you will have your own, large room (over 20 square meters) and bathroom. We live in a big house with garden, equipped with wood-fired oven (we sometimes bake our own pizzas there) and barbecue, by the sea, with stunning views from the roof terrace, which features sunbed, chairs, table and hammock. We will also spend between 2 and 3 weeks in Naples during August, where we would still have a room for you, but possibly not a private bathroom. Anyway, this is something we can leave open: you could take a trip somewhere in Europe for a week or so during this time, or even stay in Ischia a little more on your own for part of this period, if you so fancy.
