    will ask you every now I could ask to accompany us to sports near our house every now and then or to take our Chihuahua for a walk near our house

    I'm sure you will appreciate the warmth of Sicily, ours is a welcoming family and we will make you feel at home.
    I like teaching cooking and learning new recipes from people from other countries.

    If you want I can teach you some Italian recipes, since I often prepare bread, cakes, pizza, pasta and other famous dishes.

    ♥️💕We are an open-minded family, LGBT friendly🌈, and we are looking for a people
    (girl or boy for us is indifferent )
    with good English,with a fun method (given the young age of the children) helps them improve their English ,who loves being with children, who has experience
    it would be nice if you were a creative person, who had lots of ideas on games to invent with them, specifically designed to practice English and improve.
    in addition to playing with them ,I could ask to accompany us to sports near our house every now and then or to take our Chihuahua for a walk near our house.

    We are a busy family, my husband works many hours a day and I take care of everything, from the house to the school and everything else. In addition to studying, the kids also play sports, so we would like them to experience English at home in the form of games and fun, given that their small commitments already tire them.


    ℹ️The important thing is to empathize with them (it will take time) but once a good relationship is established, once they realize that being with you is fun they will follow you.♥️😊💪🏼
