    Update: 08/2024 Athinais is already 9 years old!
    Till the 12th of September we will be on vacations! After that we will need a nice and cheerful person to live with us and help around!
    Also on the 27th of August i am starting a new job, new career!

    Ps please don't cancel in the last minute (and read CAREFULLY the profile before you text me, we don't accept lazy freeloaders!)
    We can accommodate one person.

    Hey reader,

    our names are Iliana and Athinais, mummy and daughter, crazy enough to leave our life in the Netherlands and come back to Greece..

    Since then we live in Athens, specific in Pagrati area, a really hipster and alternative area that believe me you will love! Not far from the center, on foot, by bus or by the metro! Here you will find an urban style of life.. Big city life but you are not gonna miss the parks and the playgrounds!

    Athinais is really outgoing, speaks basic English, sometimes she is easy sometimes can be difficult... as any child at the age of 8!

    We need a creative and a bit crazy girl! Not with a big attitude or ego but with a big smile! Talkative and NOT political correct.A great storyteller, a person that is not on his phone all the time and wants to share! We need to feel comfortable in our own apartment!! The language will be English (she is really interested in other languages also but she cannot speak them).

    I am working as a cook. Always there is food at home so no worries about starvation! There is always breakfast available like cereals, tosti, bread, honey and butter! Mountain tea and coffee! Please let me know if you are vegetarian or vegan and most important if you have any allergies!

    I am an easy going person, the tasks that i am asking for are pretty easy and i am doing my best to make you feel at home! Always free for a talk, open mind but sometimes with not much energy as Athinais is finishing most of it!

    We prefer someone for longer time that a week or two but everything is under discussion so just contact me.


    4 male cats are living in the apartment with us.

    Help

    The tasks are 3: Athinais, job, house.

    Athinais: Your standard help is to drop off / pick up Athinais to / from school from Monday till Friday at 16:00 Then you can come straight back home or visit a playground or take her to an activity.
    -If Athinais is sick she cannot go to school so if i am working you need to stay with here while i work.
    -Babysitting for a concert or a drink or some freedom.

    Job: I am working from Monday till Friday from 9:00 till 17:00 i am home at 18.00 max. Your weekends are normally free and also some evenings as her dad lives really close to ud and he is also helping!

    House: Daily help in households like washing the dishes or hoovering. Not much! Also cooking or shopping is really rare as i am always doing it. So really basic cooking skills needed, like to boil and egg or some pasta!

    ALWAYS i am discussing with you if there is an extra schedule what we would like to do during the week! I can show you also around!
    Weekends (and Friday) is possible that you can be free to explore around, mornings are free, many evenings and nights!
    Flexibility is a must from both sides!
