  Description

  We are a family of 5 people (a couple of twins, and a younger girl, two dogs, two cats, three chicken). We live in the Alps, close to Aosta but especially close to the mountain of the Gran Paradiso. We love nature and we are both working with the National Park. Our kids are 8 years old and 5 years old. They are very fun and active, they love to do practical activities and ask questions. We like to walk in the mountain, to sky, to snowshoeing, etc etc. We live in a big house with a big closed garden where the kids the dogs and cats can stay lots of time outside. Since we have no parents living close we would like to have help during the week with children, and most importantly we would like to have for them and for us a nice person to talk with, exchange cultures and talking another language (especially French, English or Spanish).
  we prefer person interested in staying for about 1 month.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  We are a nice family working and living close to the nature. So people staying at our place will surely benefit by a simple but honest enviroment and by a lot of contact with nature (we both work in a National Park). We also like to cook and prepare dinner. We are not very active in the social city life, but it is possible from our house to reach the city with the bus.
  We move a lot across the valleys of the PAark, so it is great to have people who don't get stressed with changing routine often and able to accomodate in different environment .

  Help

  We are a family with three young children, so we need some hours in the weeks helping with them. It means staying with them at home, playing or speaking or occasionally prepare a dinner. They are very fun and like to know new people. They speak Italian, a bit of French and some english. We also may ask some help with the chicken, dogs and garden.
