Description
Hallo! we are a 4 people family, me, my husband Antonio and two wonderful children, Gabriele, 3years old and Riccardo 8years old. We live in the countryside about 15 far from the historic centre of Verona, the city of Romeao and Juliet and about 30 km far from Garda lake. We have a little winery in which we produce the most typical wines from our area, so we often welcome people here for tasting....so I really need of someone who could help me with the children while I'm preparing the degustations,when I stay with the guest or work in the office; usually a couple of hour a day is enough and with no fixed days..!Usually on summer time Antonio eaves home very early in the morning to go on the fields and spend my day with the children playing, drawing, having bath in our very very little above ground mini pool....!we have a wonderful piano an it would be fantastic if we could find someone who could play it...we love traditional kitchen and I'm a quite good cooker. I'd like to prepare by myself ragù, pizza, bruschette, pesto alla genovese, chocolate truffels, tigelle.... a lot of simple traditional food that my family loves to eat.
We would be glad to spend some weeks with a person from different country who could speak fluent english with us and with the children.
Our home is not very big, but the Workawayers could have is own large bedroom. We would love to share our daily routine, our meals and (why not?) also some little trips in Verona, on Monti Lessini or on Garda Lake...
Types of help and learning opportunities
Babysitting and creative play
Language practice
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
you could have by me some italian lessons, I could share cooking receipts; if you are a piano player you could train on our piano...you could enjoy the real country life on quite, green, italian hills!! If you like history Verona is an outdoor museum...with Arena, Castelvecchio, Teatro Romano....and then Romeo and Juliet...
you can have long walking in the fields, or on the near mountain. You can play to spend one day or more in Venice which dists one hour and half by train from here....you could learn something about the very precious and famous local wines like Amarone and Ripasso...

Help
We are looking for someone who could help us with children during my working hours. Three hours a day are enought I have no fixed times, sometimes I could have all day free and spend it with you and the children doing different activities with you and them. Please consider that the winery is downstairs so I can help you for everything you need.
Languages spoken
English: Fluent
Italian: Fluent
Accommodation
You'll have a big private bedroom in our apartment. we usually have a simple breakfast early in the morning; at about 12.30 1pm we have lunch....usually on summer time we eat fresh vegetables, toast, fast bruschetta...for dinner we have a more complete meal with past or risotto or arrosto...vegetables, fruits and, why not?, a simple dessert or chocolate...
What else ...
We live on a hill.....there is only one bus who can reach our place, so please do not consider it. we go usually one or twice a day to the nearest country from which you can reach the city centre in 20/25 minutes. I think we would have no problem during the day. In the night it's quite difficult for us to leave home because of the children...
