  Description

  Hi!
  
  We are a very lively family who already had three wonderful workawayers! (we are still in contact with them and we can provide their numbers for reference :-))
  
  We live right in the center of MILAN and we are looking for some help with our kids
  
  
  would you be interested?
  
  We are looking for TWO DIFFERENT PERIODS:
  
  1. (more urgent) JUNE 2024
  (From June 8th to June 29th)
  During this period, we will be in Milan until June 13th. After that date, we are moving to Tuscany, where the kids will go to the beach. In Milan, we are asking for four hours a day help with the kids, especially Nina (playing with her). Since school will be over, some flexibility is welcome. In Tuscany, the work will be staying at the beach with the kids, from 8.30 to 13 and from 16 to 19 (more or less). Since the time schedule is longer, some compensation will be given. In both periods, weekends will be free.
  
  2. from SEPTEMBER 2024
  Time schedule in Milan:
  We would like you to live at our house, talk with us in English, and help with the kids during the afternoon, from 16.00 to 19.00.
  
  
  
  Now the presentations:
  
  In the photo you can see the whole family: Alice (mamma), Giampaolo (father), Giulio (12), Diego (15) and little Nina (9)... and Iris (dog)!
  
  Giampaolo and me are both researchers, in philosophy (me) and maths (Giamp), and I'm also a yoga teacher. We love trekking (nearly every weekend, in the mountains near Lecco). Diego Giulio and Nina love... fighting together! but also many other things like reading (Diego), playing music (Giulio), jumping everywhere (Nina), watching Star Wars (all three)....
  
  In Milano we live in a beautiful old house, right in the center of the town, with a big garden and an old cloister (you can see a photo on the profile). We have a private room, quite big, and garden access to offer.
  
  We had already three au pairs (we can give you her email for references!) and it was a wonderful experience.

  Creating/ Cooking family meals

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  In Milano we live in a beautiful old house, right in the center of the town, with a big garden and an old cloister of Fifteenth Century (you can see a photo on the profile). Museums and old antique buildings are all around and at foot distance.
  Giampaolo is a professor of math and I teach philosophy, we would be glad to share our research. The other great passion of the house is music: Giampaolo and Giulio play piano and Nina plays violin. We would be glad to share this too.
  More in general, we love to know more about the visitors' countries and to tell about ours as well. We already had three au pairs and we had a great exchange with them.

  Accommodation

  Private room, beautiful house in the center of Milan. Usually I (mommy Alice) am the one who cooks. I am vegetarian, so I usually cook a lot of vegetables with pasta, rice or potatoes, and eggs and cheese. But I don't mind if the worker buys her own meat and cooks it. Moreover, we would be very happy to know new foods and recipes from her land!

  What else ...

  We would like to find someone who is really interested in playing with kids, especially for our little Nina, and who is able to connect emotionally with them.
  The environment is awesome and of course you can go out whenever you want in your free time. Transports are all around (we live 10 min from Cadorna station and 15 min to the Duomo).
