  Description

  hi girls! We are an easygoing, warm and loud, typical Italian family of four.
  We would like to repeat the amazing experience of having an Au pair in our family (we've been hosting au pairs for 10 years by now), to learn from each other's cultures and have a full exchange of knowledge and habits from all around the world.
  Something we've noticed about past experiences is that not only our family receives lots of insights into the au pair's culture, but she brings home with her valuable memories of her stay (surely most of them about our food ;) ). Think we could match?
  Can't wait to hear from you!!

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  The aupair will be free most of the morning so, if she is interested, she can have some Italian class (to be honest I must say they are quite expensive). Moreover she will be free from Saturday afternoon until Sunday night or, quite often, the whole weekend if I'm not in my "on call" shift. Of course, we will be happy if she decides to spend her days off with us sometimes.
  The aupair will be offered, other than room and board, a "poket money" of about 50-70euros every week depending on tasked performed.
  
  That's all, we think it will be a new amazing adventure!
  looking forward...

  Help

  we are looking for our next aupair to share the life with during the school period that goes from September to June, here in Italy.
  Because of our jobs, me (Alessia, the mum) and Fabio (dad) are out from home quite for a long time, but everyday we cannot wait to come back home to our daughters!
  The day starts very early in our house because I have my yoga time at 5.30 am, Fabio and Ludo leave around 6.30 am, and me and Dami leave at about 8 am. From Monday to Saturday, both of my daughters are at school in the morning: Dami gets home for lunchtime, instead Ludo's schedule is pretty flexible. That's why the au pair can have time to herself in the morning.
  The afternoon's priority is homework, and after that Ludo and Dami have free time or their sports.
  In the evening we always try to have dinner all together and talk about the day we spent: we believe dinner is a time for family. At 9 pm it's time to sleep: I'm quite strict on school days' curfew!
  What we are looking for is a family oriented girl, someone who's active and trustworthy, responsible and who likes having fun with our girls. We consider the aupair as a family member and, as all of us, she will be asked to help with some light chores, like tidying up, helping with the dishwasher or the washing machine (for the rest we have a dedicated helper) because a fundamental rule of our home is "everybody does their part".

  Accommodation

  We live in a house in the town center a typical historical fisherman village, 5 min walk from the beach, 2 min walk from the train station.
  Our house is on three levels and the room we offer is on the ground floor: it has its own bathroom, backdoor and we guarantee the au pair's necessary privacy. We value tidiness and I'm pretty strict about it! :)
  We live in Civitanova Marche, a small, pretty town in Marche region, on the middle of the east coast. It is well connected by train with Bologna, Milan and Bari and by Flixbus with Rome, Naples and Pompeii.
  Our region, Marche, is full of hidden gems, medieval and picturesque towns, art and landscapes; plus, my husband always enjoys suggesting our au pairs destinations for weekend trips!
