Description
We are a family of 2 living in Bari, a beautiful city in south Italy (Puglia region).
I am Ilaria, mother of Francesco (8 years old).
I am looking for just English native speaker girls that really, really loves spending time with children. Someone that is a kind and a happy go lucky person.
Francesco is a curious, full of energy and a creative baby boy. He loves to fix and create plays from simple materials like paper, wood.
Francesco has school and other commitments so I would love to integrate English learning through games, conversations, books, and the normal activities we do during the day.
I would love that the Workawayer become part of our family so there are not schedules but just helping each other like in a family. I would be so glad to cook and learn new recipes from people from other countries. If you appreciate, I can teach you some Italian recipes. I often bake the famous taralli, bread, pizza and cookies.
Although we eat almost everything we prefer fresh vegetarian dishes. So if you are vegetarian or veggie you are welcome!
What I ask to Workawayer is just very little and simple tasks. If you see what is needed to do in the house every time, collaborate just doing this. The normal everyday activities in the house.
It Is important you are very fluent in English!
All the weekends are free so you can go around to explore the area.

She is simply adorable and we really enjoyed hosting her.
It was like she was a real member of our family right away.
She immediately got along with Francesco (how can we forget the new olimpic sport "hit the wheel"?).
Charlotta is very mature for her age and also, extremely tidy and respectful.
