Description
Hi, would you like to join our family in the Stelvio National park and enjoy skiing or hiking while aupairing?
We are a family of 3 people, Patrizia, Daniele and our 12 aged son Filippo and 3 cats. I (Patrizia) currently work in a bank but I recently became a hiking guide as I love the outdoors and would like to show our beautiful area to everybody! Daniele is a manager in his skifactory.
We live in a private house in Bormio, a small ski resort in the Italian alps. Bormio is a tourist town, 1200 meters above sea level in the Stelvio National Park, about 200 km northern to Milan, it is known for winter sports and thermal springs. In 2026 we’ll have the winter Olympic games here! Ski slopes, an ice stadium, and also a thermal swimming pool are very closed to our house. We are looking for a girl, preferably english or german mother tongue, a non smoker, who helps us with a little housekeeping (laundry, dishwasher, tidy up) and cooking at lunch time.
We need somebody who speaks English and/or German with our child and spends some time with him during school holidays, that is available to help him with homework and it’s a plus if she can play guitar or flute. Filippo is a very independent and active child who likes winter sports, especially freestyle skiing.
We are active people and would give priority to a person who shares our passion for outdoor sports. Especially in the winter months we will give priority to skiers.
We are part of a purchasing group (a group of families who buy directly from producers with attention to sustainable products), we eat mostly organic food and have a high awareness for the environment and we appreciate if our guests behave in a sustainable way as well.
For us it is important to build a good connection to our guests, for this reason we think it is important to share meals, to spend time together and we would like to detox as much as possible from mobile phones and reconnect face to face.
For this reason we ask you to avoid using mobile phones or electronic devices during meals and especially when you are with Filippo. If your mobile phone is an extension of your arm, please don't apply for this position!
We’re not vegetarian but are willing to host vegetarians, it would be more difficult to host vegans as we often prepare meals with dairy products and eggs.
Unfortunately we cannot host somebody who is gluten intolerant.
