Dear workawayer,
thank you for taking some time to read our profile :)
THAT'S OUR FAMILY
We're a young and easygoing family :) I'm Clotilde, you can call me Clo, my husband is Jacopo, and the two sis are Anita (12y in August2023) and Olivia (10y in November2023).
With us also 3cats (Agata, Tito and Malù) and a dog (Siria). They stay also inside the house, so it's important you love animals and you're NOT allergic. Please note, Siria is a bit shy at the beginning, she’ll bark you the first day, but then she'll be quite and so sweet with you too!
WHERE WE ARE
We are based in the north of Italy, Piedmont, in the center of Asti, just few meters from the Cathedral. The house is very big, and, although we live in the center of the town, we can enjoy a nice and peaceful garden.
Our town is well connected by train/bus to others nice cities like Alba, Turin, Milan, Genova and the 5 terre....
ABOUT US
-Meals:
Normally we have breakfast all together around 7,15am, lunch around 1,30pm and dinner around 8:30pm.
When girls are off from school we haven’t fixed time for meals.
We don’t have special food habits, we like ALL the food, also from others countries.
We have a typical Italian sweet breakfast, with caffè or cappuccino, biscuits or croissants. At lunch we often have pasta, rice, gnocchi or agnolotti, while at dinner meat, eggs, fish, cheese, vegetables, and once a week pizza!
We don’t smoke and we don’t drink alcohol, a part beer and wine.
-Our daily routine:
Girls go to school from Monday to Friday, from 8am to 1.30pm, but they stay at school until 4pm on Tuesday and Thursday. (They’re home from school for summer holiday from middle June to the middle September, and a couple of weeks during Christmas and Easter festivities). Anita just started secondary school in September 2022, this year she studies English+Spanish and a musical instrument: guitar!
Anita plays Basketball three times a week (on Monday, Tuesday and Friday afternoon) and Olly skates 4 times a week(on Monday,Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday afternoon). Not during July/August. Probably they’ll go to a summer camp for few weeks during July.
-Our Job:
I run a b&b for 5 years, but I've just close it, in January 2023, and now I'm looking for a new job.
My husband has a businnes in photography and more precisely in the production of ceramic pictures(through a special process, you can apply photographs printed on paper on ceramic plaques to cook them in a special oven).Sometimes I work in his office.
WE'D LIKE TO HOST..
Someone fluent in English, ideally a native English speaker, even better if you're a qualified teacher.
From this year we’interested in Spanish too, since Anita is studying it at school.
But I want to let you know we carefully consider applications from all workawayers!
If you are interested in learning Italian no problem, we can talk in Italian, but, please, JUST ENGLISH or SPANiSH WITH GIRLS!!

Projekte mit Kindern

Arbeit
-We're looking for someone who'd like to play ACTIVELY with girls, teaching them English or Spanish in a funny way. More Anita&Olivia listen, more they learn! This point is really important for us, so please, do not consider out family if you're too shy and silent, and you're not ready to get involved having fun with them. They're no more babies just in need of supervision, now they need to be involved.
-Anita starts secondary school this September and there she'll start playing a musical instrument for the first time. At the moment she doesn't know anything about music so it's great if you play something and you can teach her something about it.
-We'll share daily household chores. Nothing too tiring, just an help around the house like a family member. We don't expect you clean up everyday! You can help me in the kitchen (sweeping the floor, charging/discharging the dishwasher, cooking sometimes) and help with cleaning/tidying up is needed just in the girls area(their bedroom and bathroom).
