  Help

  We are looking for an English native speaking girl, a little expert. Active and proactive. Children are very creative, a little noisy but nice, used to being outdoors, taking long walks and building games. They are affectionate and kind children, they love contact and sharing very much. However, they need to perfect their education by being in contact with various people who are authoritative and available.
  
  
  Siamo alla ricerca una ragazza madrelingua inglese, un po' esperta Attiva e propositiva. I bambini sono molto creativi, un po' rumorosi ma simpatici, abituati a stare all'aria aperta, a fare lunghe camminate a costruire giochi. Sono bambini affettuosi e gentili, amano molto il contatto e la condivisione. Necessitano comunque di perfezionare la loro educazione stando a contatto con persone varie che siano autorevoli e disponibili.

  Il papà è madrelingua inglese la mamma no però ama comunicare in inglese Sarebbe interessante la conversazione I bambini sono abituati a sentire parlare in inglese a dire qualche parola pur essendo italiani madrelingua. Per loro la nostra TV è settata in lingua inglese. Ci capita di tanto in tanto di spostarsi in una casa che abbiamo in Trentino e quindi c'è la possibilità di venire con noi.
