    Description

    Hello to our new workawayer!Our family is made of four, me Fabiola, dad Paolo and our lovely kids Sofia and Lorenzo. They are twins 6 years old. We live in the beautiful city of Rome.
    I’m a teacher and so every day i’m busy with kids at a public kindergarten school. My husband, Paolo, is a volleyball coach, so usually from august to the end of may he travels a lot because the team is outside of Rome, more in the south. He is also the manager of some bed&breakfast in Rome, because the city is plenty of turists all the year.

    Sofia and Lorenzo are very good kids, they love to play together and with a nanny. Last winter we experimented to have an english teacher (mother tongue) only few hours in the afternoon and it was a great success. This September they will start the elementary school, first year, so they have to stay there sometime also during few afternoon, other days they will do different sports.
    We are a funny family to live with, thank expecially to Paolo that love to stay with kids and try every different experience to make us laughing and enjoy the life. Very often he bring us outside for journey, in the week end or more.

    We live in Rome, as i said, in the city center, but you can’t imagine how close we are to the Vatican city, or to the famous Piazza San Pietro. Every time the Pope come back home by elicopter we can see him, turning up our nose! The metro station close to our house is Cipro.
    We live in an historical roman villa, that is partially dedicated to host guests (b&b). Our hose is in Viale Vaticano, 5 minutes walking from the famous Vatican Museum, so every day you can see a long queue to get in it! Paolo’s parents liv in the same big villa, we have a beautiful garden where Sofia e Lorenzo go often to play.

    We decided to have an au pair this last summer, after having an amazing experience in London, for two weeks, during that vacation pur kids went to an English school and they start to learn the language and they loved it! So we are strongly convinced that having YOU in our family can be a good experience for all of us, trying to improve our english and that of Sofia and Lorenzo expecially. We think that the best way to learn a new language is to live together, in a daily life, playing together having fun outside and traveling with the family. The fact that I’m busy at work and Paolo always traveling, makes this project useful to let our kids having an other family’member to stay with, who is YOU. We need your precious help. Infact, the girl who will live with us, has to look after our kids, most of the time. We don’t need housekeeping, because we have already a lady for that.

    We need more a person who can stay with them, make them playing, speaking in english, learning more words and improving listening.
    sometimes, we can ask to stay with them in the night if we go out for dinner, or bring them to doing sport, or let them eating. She has time for herself, of course. So the girl workawayer can go out and enjoy the tremendous opportunity to visit Rome.
    The most important thing is that we really would love to have her as a part of our family, we will consider her as an other daughter, so she will stay with us going out to our friends house, to have dinner outside, to go to the cinema, to go to the seaside.
    we are a family who can help for every needs, because we strongly believe that living together every day can let you appreciating different culture, different toughts and make you a better person!
    Waiting for the first workewayer!
