Help
We are searching for someone who wants to become a new member of our family and who can speak English and maybe start to teach Spanish playing and talking to Pietro. I need help with usually in the afternoon (4.30pm-8pm). What is really important is to spend quality time with Pietro, playing and talking a lot,all the time, teaching him! We need someone really proactive who can organize the time with funny/teaching activities. Pietro is an energetic boy and he needs to be involved in every kind of activities. He understands the language and he can interact really well in English. From this summer we are thinking to introduce Spanish too. He is used to spend his time with English speaking workawayers since he was 2yo. From Sept to June he goes to primary school (mon to Fri 8.30/16.30) and i would like to find someone who can help him with his English skills while he is learning to read and write in Italian at school. DUring summer you'll spend time with him at the beach.
