    Most of the time we use to go away during the weekends, exspecially in the mountain to hiking

    We love cooking so you could learn how to make and/or cook some Italian traditional dishes...My husband love cooking especially tagliatelle and pizza. You could learn also some Italian even if we require to speak only in English with the children. In addition you will be free to explore our amazing area for example Riviera of flowers , Portofino, Cote d'Azur, our interesting hinterland or you can choose to relax yourself at the beach.
    We have a chicken coop and a lovely dog so this could be of interest in you if you love animals.

    We are looking for one/two female English speaking nanny, non smoker . We like the idea that our children spend their time with FUNNY big sisters and in the meantime they have to be in safe hands and they have the good and unique opportunity to speak and improve their English. You could be perfect for us if you really like PLAYING a lot with kids(...not only watching them... it is not enough for us) if you really like spending time with them teaching new things and speaking with them, if you are energic, kind, smiling and in general an happy person curious about different people and experiences. In addition, as we have a sweet dog, we need you to like animals. If you think all of these expects rapresent you then please contact us !

    We would need help starting from mid june till mid sept:
    From Mon to Fri mostly during the morning, sometimes in the afternoon instead.
    You should play a lot with our 3 children and have lunch with them.
    We have a spacious house and a big area where to play outside, included a garden and a pool.
    For this reason you should be able to swim and play with the kids in the water .
    We require to play a lot and have fun...all in English and without the use of the mobile phone or tv. Your time spent with them hast to be real quality time.
    We require you to feel as part of the family and not as a guest so please give a hand during the lunch/dinner preparations, set the table etc..
    When we have 2 workawayers during the same period: we require to help also with our dog Max (it is a young labrador: funny and lovely) and with our vegetable garden and chickens. In this case the help would be:
    - walking Max
    - watering the vegetables and pick them up when necessary, normally every 2 days, here summertime is very humid and warm. (no experience needed - easy to learn)
    - feeding the chickens and collecting the eggs every day (no experience needed - easy to learn)



    Thank you in advance for all your help!
