The experience

Hello! We’re Sam and Christina, and our little family lives in the Sicilian mountains with our 11-month-old daughter, Salina. We feel lucky to call our agriturismo home, where we grow what we can, care for our animals (two dogs, chickens, ducks, and sheep), and share our harvest with the lovely volunteers who come to help.We’re self-taught farmers, still learning every day, and we do our best to live simply, sustainably, and with an open heart.

Program Details

Sam works online as a Creative Director, and I work part-time in HR and teach yoga. We’d be happy to share our home, our meals, and our life here with someone who’s as excited about connection and community as we are :)

As much as we’d love to spend all our days with Salina, I’ll soon be returning to work, and rather than sending her to daycare, we’d love for her to spend time with someone kind and caring who she can really bond, form a connection with, and who can feel part of our little community.

Your main responsibilities:
- Daily home cleaning & light organization
- Preparing one healthy, simple meal a day
- Baby care (approx. 2 hrs/day as needed)

🕐 The setup:
- Approx. 5 hours/day, 5 days/week (weekends included ideally)
- You’ll stay in your own cozy house nearby with stunning mountain views
- We’re more than happy to carpool for groceries
- Enjoy fresh produce from the farm and the calm of nature

This is a special opportunity for someone who enjoys slow, meaningful living and being part of a nurturing home. If you're kind, practical, and love both a tidy kitchen and baby giggles, we’d be delighted to welcome you into our world 😌
