  Join our rainbow family in beautiful Turin!
  We’re two dads with lively twin boys (born November 2016) looking for someone to stay at least 3 months and become part of our family.
  If you love children, enjoy creative play, speak good English, and adore dogs — we’d love to hear from you!
  
  Please note: Short stays (2–3 weeks) are not suitable for us.
  
  About Us
  
  We are an Italian rainbow family — two dads and energetic twin boys — living in Turin, North-West Italy. We’re open, honest, and easy-going, surrounded by the love and support of family and friends.
  
  We love travelling, meeting people from all over the world, and learning about new cultures. Our boys are Canadian, and we maintain close ties with our family there.
  
  About Turin
  
  Turin is a vibrant city at the foot of the Alps — 30 minutes from the mountains and 1.5 hours from the sea.
  Known as “Little Paris” for its elegant streets, historic cafés, and beautiful architecture, it’s full of charm and culture.
  
  Our Home & Lifestyle
  
  We live in an apartment close to the city centre, with excellent train and metro links. A large park is just a short walk away, where we often go for walks, bike rides, and playground fun.
  
  At Christmas, we usually spend time in the mountains enjoying sunny days in the snow. In summer, we stay in the countryside or in Laigueglia, a picturesque seaside town where our parents have a house just two minutes from the beach.
  
  What We Offer
  
  - A warm, welcoming family atmosphere
  - Opportunities to discover Turin, the Alps, and the Ligurian coast
  - A genuine cultural exchange — you won’t just be a helper, but part of our family.
  
  If you’re looking for a meaningful long-term stay with a loving family, we can’t wait to meet you!

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  During your stay, we’d love to show you many beautiful places — from the vibrant streets and historic attractions of Turin, to a charming mountain village, and a unique coastal town.
  
  Most importantly, you would be welcomed as part of our family, not treated as an employee. We’ll share meals, traditions, and everyday moments, giving you a genuine taste of Italian life and plenty of opportunities for cultural exchange.

  Help

  Life with twins is a wonderful adventure, full of laughter and surprises — but it can also be busy! While we are lucky to have the support of family and friends, we thought it would be even more special to welcome someone from a different culture who wants to share in our daily life and enjoy a true Italian experience.
  
  We’d love for our guest(s) to spend a few hours each day (no more than 3–4 hours per day, about 20 hours per week) looking after the boys — playing games, doing arts and crafts, or taking them out for a walk. In between, you’ll have plenty of free time to explore Turin and its surroundings, taste delicious local food, and soak up the relaxed pace of life here.

  Accommodation

  You’ll have your own private room, furnished with two bunk beds, and with direct access to a balcony where you can relax at a small table with chairs — perfect for enjoying a morning coffee or an evening breeze.
  
  Our apartment in Turin is quite spacious (about 110 sqm / 1,200 sq. ft.) and bright, with a living room, kitchen, three bedrooms (including yours), and two bathrooms. We offer fast Wi-Fi, air conditioning, and a welcoming atmosphere that will make you feel at home.
  
  To help you explore the city with ease, we can also provide a city bike — a fun and eco-friendly way to discover Turin’s streets, parks, and hidden corners.

  What else ...

  From our home, you can get anywhere easily — on foot, by bike, or using public transport (trains, buses/trams, and the metro).
  
  Within walking distance, you’ll find shops, local points of interest, and the beautiful Valentino Park — perfect for a stroll or a picnic.
  
  This area is rich in things to see and do, so much that it’s hard to list them all! You’ll have castles, lively squares, fascinating museums, and vibrant neighbourhoods full of history and culture — all just minutes from our doorstep.
