    Description

    We are a very welcoming family.
    We live in a little town , in the countryside of Modena. Modena is well connected with most of the more beautiful cities in Italy so you will be able to easily reach Florence, Milan, Rome, Venice and so on within few hours by train.
    We have had several girls from all over the world so far and it was always a great experience. I am a single mum with 2 wonderful children, aged 8 (Giada) and 10 (Lorenzo). The children go to school from 8am to 4:30 pm . Then they have sport activities twice a week after school . I would like an help with my kids after school or in the evening till the dinner time and rarely a little later.
    My first porpouse is to teach a second language to the children. At the moment we are focused on the English, but we would like to introduce the French too.
    We are looking for an English or French mother tongue , trustworthy, dynamic, bubbly, open-minded, and friendly girl that loves children and wants to have an unforgettable experience in our beautiful country.
    Italy is famous for the food! We love to cook, for us eating is not just eating but it's the moment where to share memories and spend time together. My mum is one of the best cook I know and she will be happy to invite you sometimes for some delicious lunch!

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Travelling is learning, living with local people can teach you the real culture of that country or area. We like to talk about our habits, our style of life and our mindset. I hosted many girls so far and I appreciated to chat for long about both culture. I can teach how to cook some
    Italian dishes and I can give you some suggestions about what to visit in the area.

    Hello! We are a family of 3 with 2 wonderful children, Lorenzo 10 years old and Giada 8.We live in a village close to Modena, Emilia Romagna region.
    We are an open minded family that love the cultural exchange with people that want to learn our culture and are very curious about the life. Also, I would like to give our children the possibility to meet people from other countries wich could be very stimulating for their growing.
    Last but not least, I would like our children to learn English by playing and envolving them with craft and activities. This is very important for me! I don't need a girl that has to watch my children sitting on a chair or messaging with her phone! More than childcaring, I am interested in language practice or English teaching for me and my children!
    Some house help would be very helpful.
    I also have a digital piano and girls that can play will have the chance to exercise and why not, give some music lessons to my children and me .
    References would be appreciated.
    Looking forward to hearing from you
