Description
Hi Au Pairs!!
We are an Italian family, searching for our First au pair to join us for a beautiful experience!!
I'll tell you something about us! We are a family of 6, my biggest Kids are 15 and 13, they are indipendent, helpful and very responsible guys, Davide is 15, doing math and science path at the High school, and Sara Is 13, She started this year High school in psychological and educational path. Vittoria Is 8 y.o., She Is super funny and Lovely and loves to create, draw, cut, assemble..everything like that! She also loves to sing and she Will probably start playing piano this year!She goes full time school until 16.30. The last one Is Lorenzo, He's Born this June, so he's very Little and lovely and cute baby boy.
We live in the countryside, a beautiful corner of paradise, in a medieval settlement, quiet and slow living Place, but also 20 minutes by car from Pordenone (North East Italy), and 50 minutes by train from Venice or Treviso, that are beautiful cities full of Life and locale, bar and cultural spots. We love Animals, we have a dog, Kora,a super cuddle lover and funny and beautiful, and three lazy and furry cats, and a Little farm with chickens and two goats.
I work part time in the Human Resources, mainly in the mornings. I Will start again in December after my maternity leave, my husband Is a military in the Italian Army, he Is from the beautiful Naples.
We Would love to have our First experience with an au pair both to live a cultural exchange and tò have a support with the Kids while my husband Will be away. We are searching for someone Who wants tò feel part of our family, we love to take walks into the nature, we love to Watch movies together during the weekends, going out for icecream (or a hot chocolate during Winter) and have dinner and lunch all together.
We can offer a private room, quite big and with a beautiful view from the balcony, a quiet and very cozy house, big enough tò let everyone his/her own personal space even if we are many people! but also the possibility to use the car for small movements or to move in the weekend in the near cities.
We ask for a positive, kind and respectful person, Who loves Kids and family time.
Inside the house Is not allowed to smoke at all, but I have no problem with the outside if you are a smoker (my husband smokes but not in the house ), I Would Need a Person with driving licence, and possibly that have had already experience with babies and toddlers, we Would prefer someone English speaking and Who lives inside the UE area to avoid visa problems but if a Person takes care about managing for the visa or has It already we of course can valuate too.
We offer a pocket Money of 80€ per week.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Even if we are both from Italy (North and South) we have multicultural families! My sister in low lives in America, South Carolina, she's married to an American since 22 years, my sister lives in Dublin, Ireland, from 2005, and we used to go there almost twice a year every year when my Kids were toddlers, my parents bought a house in South East of Hungary and use to stay there half a year. We love to travel as much as we are able to, we've been in Hungary, in Scotland, in Ireland, in Slovenia, in Egypt, in France and Austria together, most of these with our Kids! And we Hope to see many more countries from now on! We love ALL the International cuisine, especially Chinese and Mexican and Indian food! Around here there are some interesting different restaurants and places tò dance and have fun! We are 40/50 minutes from beautiful seaside cities, Lignano, Bibione, Caorle and 40 minutes from lakes and places in Mountain where you can do trekking, skiing, iceskating! We love to learn cultures, habits, food from other places perspectives and sharing opinions and experiences!

Help
Lorenzo Is mostly the One for whom I could Need some help from January 26 since my husband Is leaving abroad for some months and even if he will go to childcare I'd still may use an help in case he or Victoria got sick and I can't stay home from work, so if they are sick I Will Need you tò look after them during the morning. Otherwise, if they are at school I ask for simple housechores like laundry, vacuum, undoing dishwasher or tiding up Toys or the Kids room (but these are chores that also my Kids are expected to do so It won't be exclusively a chore for the au pair but for everyone in the family!) and I Would like if you can cook sometimes, especially for lunch. A couple of afternoon I could use an help driving Kids to their sports when I can't (Davide practices karate, while Sara and Vittoria do roller skate) or looking after Lorenzo while I drive them. I don't ask for a full time committement, Just a couple of hours a day, or the mornings in case the Little Kids are sick, during the week, evenings and weekends are absolutely free.
Oh, I Would also like if you could have, once or twice a week, some English conversation with Davide and Sara tò let them improve their English skills, and of course we Will be Happy to help you learning italian!
