  Description

  Hello! We are an Italian family living in 📍Verona. Verona is a wonderful city full of history, and it is near Venice, Milano and Garda Lake.
  We have 4 children (9,8,5,3 year-old) and we are looking for an English speaking to be part of our family. Children take time to adapt to a new person and for this reason we ask you a minimum stay of about 2 and a half months (if more even better).
  We don't smoke, We are welcoming, friendly, caring and positive people. I hope you will be a friend for us!
  During school time (from September to June) the kids will be at school in the morning and so you will be free from 9am to 3.30 pm .
  We need help with children for about 25 hours a week with weekends off🥳. We are looking for someone (ONLY ENGLISH MOTHER-TONGUE SPEAKER) who can hard play with them in the afternoon, teach them English with stories or fun games, and help me with dinner, to prepare children for school or for going to bed in the evening, and with housework. We ask you to speak English with children as more as possible, trying to name objects often and trying to get an answer from them too.
  We have 2 dogs, large in size. We hope you like dogs too.
  I am an engineer while my husband is an entrepreneur.
  Before selecting and confirm any guest, we will send an aptitude survery, please take about 10 minutes to fill it in if you are interested in being hosted by our family.
  Can't wait to know you!!!
