  • Description

    Description

    We are a family of 5: me Anna (38), my husband Marco (38) and our three kids, Matteo, Andrea, 7 years old, and Elena nearly 3 years old.

    We live in a little town between Milan and Como (from our home, the train station is a 5-minute walk away, and it takes less than 30 minutes to reach the center of Milan).

    Matteo and Andrea thoroughly enjoy spending their time outdoors, engaging in activities such as basketball, swimming, cycling, jumping, running, play hide-and-seek, working in the garden. Elena wants to do whatever her brothers do!! In addition to these physical pursuits, they all have a fondness for creative endeavors such as construction, painting, and listening to stories.

    Family time is what we do in our free time. We enjoy planning a variety of activities, such as exploring new cities, visiting the theater, touring museums, going to the seaside and hiking in the mountains and meeting friends.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    I have always wished for my children to have exposure to diverse cultures and experiences. Having a foreign girl could potentially provide an enriching and fulfilling opportunity for all of us. We would love to find a person who wants to be part of our family, share with us her culture, customs and experiences; I have been an exchange student when I was 17 in Ohio, USA; I know how is leaving in an other country and we would do our best to let you feel at home.

    Help

    We are looking for a cheerful and warm girl who could help us manage daily life with the children (my husband and I work full time; since COVID I’m working from home, most of the time).

    You should love children and spend time with them in a proactive way (the kids don't watch TV). It is also important that you play with them in English (native English speaker or perfectly fluent in English is needed) to improve their language skills.

    If you can play an instrument (particularly the piano or guitar), you can also help Matteo and Andrea practices.

    Depending on the time of year, we have different needs:
    1. September-beginning of June: we would prefer to have someone for at least 3 months (ONLY EU PASSPORTS OR WORKING HOLIDAY VISA); we need from Monady to Friday, only afternoon (4pm-7pm). The kids will have school until 4/4:30pm. We wish you could go to pick them up (the driver's license is necessary), take them to all afternoon activities and play with them until 7 pm (more or less). Moreover, you can also help us when someone is sick.
    2. June-mid of August: we usually spend one month at the seaside (closed to the Cinque Terre - Liguria) and one month at the mountain (Alagna - Piemonte). During these weeks we need from Monady to Friday, playing with the kids at the beach or in the garden. You should have good swimming skills and love nature.
