  Descrição

  We are an Italian family living in the hills minutes from Lucca town center. Our beautiful 200-year-old country house has a huge garden, an olive orchard and fruit trees, two horses and a dog - and a large swimming pool.
  Our 3 children are 16, 14 and 11; they are well behaved, understand and speak English, though not fluently. Hence we are looking for an English native speaker to help our children practice and improve their English language skills.
  We have a housekeeper and cleaning staff but expect the workawayer to prepare breakfast for the children, drive them to school and other activities - we provide an automatic car - and help keep the children's rooms tidy (cleaning is done by the staff). Some light help around the house is expected (for ex. setting the table, carrying plates and food to and from the kitchen, etc) as well as regularly walking the dog.
  A valid driving license is essential.
  We have hosted numerous helpers in the past. Our references are available. Please attach your references when contacting us.
