  Description

  LAST MINUTE - LOOKING FOR HELP WITH OUR GIRLS IN TRIESTE
  
  Hello, we are a easy-going family of 4 living in Aurisina, a village closed to the sea and close to Trieste city (beautiful multicultural city on the border with Slovenia).
  We are a young couple with two daughters, the oldest is 11 years old and the youngest is 9 years old. We enjoy the outdoor we love the sea and especially the mountains. The main passion of our family is climbing, but we enjoy also hiking and cycling and in the winter we also love skiing.
  I work in an office and my husband works on his own - from Monday to Friday, generally we are back home at three o'clock, but two times per week we come back home at six o'clock.
  Our daughters have school from September till June and generally they come back from school four times por week at 13.20 p.m and two times per week at 15.30 p.m.
  We need help from april till the middle of Avgust. During the school time we need help four times por week from 13. p.m. till 17. p.m. to make the girls the lunch and look after them when they write the homeworks. From June till the middle of Avgust we would need help during the mornings to stay with our daughters, take them to the beach or play in the garden and speak with them in English. Generally they have gym three times por week during the mornings in summer.
  Both of them likes to draw and to play different sports (jumping on trampoline, play with the ball, go cycling ..).
  During the weekend we don't need help, but obviously, if our host like to join us in our activity we are super happy about that.
  Our girls are full of energy, they speak Slovenian and Italian like mother tongues and have a good understanding and speaking of English. They love to have people at home and speak and play with our hosts, so surely they will invite you to jump with them on the trampoline;)
  We had hosted different people in the last four years, because we think that is really important for our daughters to learn to speak fluently in English and to discover new people and new cultures. For this reason, we prefer to host English-speaking workawayers because we would like that our girls improve their English.
  We provide for the workawayer one big room with own bathroom. Around the house is a quite big garden. I love cooking and love to cook for everyone. I'm vegetarian but the other member of the family eats also meat.
  We love traveling with our van, but is not easy to travel all over the year, so hosting people is for us a different way of traveling.
