  Description

  Hi!
  We are an easy going family from Camaiore, on the west coast of Tuscany. Viareggio, Lucca, Pisa, Florence and other famous towns are very easy and close to reach by bus or trains. The place is lively full of nice cafes and shops. We were born and grew up here and even if we travelled a lot around the world decided to live here to grow our beloved children in the best way where we have our roots and relatives. Anyway to make them feel more part of the world we have been guesting aupair since 2009 and this experience has enriched incredibly all the family. We live in the country side but very closed to the town centre.
  
  We love art and good food. My name is Isabella, I am an English and German literature teacher and 49 years old, my husband Giuseppe is Oenologist and 53 and we have been merrily married since 1999. We have 3 sons. Filippo is 23, he studies at SOAS's University in London and he is not currently at home. Alessandro is 18 he studies Philosophy and Antropology at high school, Martino is 13, a scout and plays blues on the piano. They speak English fluently and they adapt themselves to new people easily. We have 3 cats and a dog, Monetina.
  We have an extra room for workawayers with internet full access and private bathroom.
  We are looking for someone to improve our English, give Martino and Ale some English lessons in the morning (noteveryday) and come to the beach with us during the afternoon sometimes.

  Aide

  We need someone who can help us improving our English, a good driver but for short tracks. As for the family habits, we like cooking, baking, reading, staying healthy and active: I swim, Giuseppe does marathons and we all like eating genuine food. We try not to give the boys any junk food and don't allow them to watch and play videogames for a long long time and prefer them to stay outside in the fresh air. In our free time we love going for promenades along the beach with our dog, Monetina or up to the close mountains, to theatre, visiting museums.

  Autres infos...

  We are looking for someone who is reliable, patient and friendly. We went to Asia and South American for aid programs even with the kids and think that having an aupair around is a way to experience a new culture and "travelling" more even staying at home. We are used to sharing life with people of different mood and habits. The grandparents live next door and adore their grandchildren. We were most of the time lucky to find nice people that are still close to the family and come to visit often. We are flexible and will do our best to let you feel at your ease. Transports such as trains, buses are efficient and from Camaiore it is very easy to reach the main Tuscan town and discover the natural surroundings.
  
  Thanks for reading!
