Description
My name is Beatrice, I am 49 and I run a translation agency. My daughter will be 10 in July. She is calm and sociable.
We live in a house near the city centre and we have a garden. The area is safe and quiet.
We like going to the beach, cooking (and eating) and going out with friends.
NOTE > We have a nice female indoor cat.
Types of help and learning opportunities
Babysitting and creative play
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
I love hosting foreign travellers from around the world. I love foreing languages and cultures. I like to share experiences. I am also a good cook and I would love cooking for you and learning from you to prepare one of your local dishes. We can visit our city together or spend time at the beach.
Projects involving children
This project could involve children. For more information see our guidelines and tips here.
Help
I am looking for a friend for my daughter to play with for some hours during the day. My aim is for her to practise speaking English or learn some Spanish or French.
We are open-minded, flexible on days/hours and we are used to having foreign people around the house.
When you are here we would like to show you around, try local food with us and join us when going to the beach. BUT you are totally free during your free time.
I could give you the contact details of previous workawayers/au pair girls so you can ask them any question you wish to ask.

Spanish: BeginnerThis host offers a language exchange
I love all languages and I have recently started learing the Italian Sign Language. My daughter too is very curious about foreing languages, although she can only speak Italian and English. She sometimes asks me how to say something in French or Spanish.
Accommodation
We can offer a single room. You will have access to our kitchen and fridge. I will be cooking for you as part of my family but you can decide to cook for yourself.
What else ...
Ravenna is a small, safe and quiet city. You can walk to the city center (10 min) or I can give you a bike to go round the city or you can use the buses (20 minute to the beach). Take the train and you can visit Venezia (3 hours), Florence (2 hours) or Milan (3 hours) but also nice spots like Cesenatico (20 min), Faenza (40 min) or Ferrara (1 hour).

We enjoyed her company a lot, both for playing and for talking about different topics. We learned a lot about Japan and we can't wait to visit her one day in her county.
She is also very smart, kind and helpful. She cooked some meals for us and she helped a lot for my daughter's birthday party.

We had a lovely time. I immediately felt at ease and I could speak to her as if she was an old friend of mine. For my 4 year old daughter....it was love at first sight
