NYC Therapist, Art Student Mother Seeking Florence Apt | Cat Sitting Nov'25

Description

About Me: I’m visiting my daughter, who is enrolled in a four-year bachelor’s program in Studio Art and Art History in Florence. I usually visit her twice a year, and during these stays, we both appreciate quiet, comfortable spaces that feel like a real home. Our family has a background in both art and human sciences: my mother was a professional puppeteer for 32 years, I studied Bulgarian Philology and taught language for many years, and later earned an MA in Forensic Mental Health Counseling in New York. I am now taking steps toward becoming a licensed therapist. We love traveling and caring for people’s homes, pets, and plants. I take pride in treating others’ spaces with the same care I want for my own Manhattan apartment, which I sometimes sublet (karma works both ways!). What We’re Looking For: We’re seeking a quiet, well-kept apartment in Florence - ideally near Via San Gallo or within walking distance of the Lorenzo de’ Medici Institute facilities on Via dell’Alloro, Via de’ Giraldi, or Piazza Strozzi - for November 2025. I will stay the first week, and my daughter, an award-winning young artist from New York City recognized by institutions such as the Rockefeller Center/Climate Museum and the Scholastic Art & Writing Awards, will remain for the rest of the month to focus and study during her finals. We will be happy to help with plant or pet care. I also plan to list my own Manhattan apartment on SabbaticalHomes, and look forward to being part of this community that values independence, trust, and connection among creative and academic travelers.
