    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    We are a friendly family of four (parents + two boys aged 5 and 10) and our gentle 13-year-old German Shepherd, looking to host an enthusiastic and responsible au pair in our bright, newly renovated seaside apartment.

    Accommodation:
    You will have your own private bedroom in our modern, fully equipped apartment, located just steps from the beach. The apartment features two bathrooms, air conditioning, a spacious living area with an LCD TV, high-speed Wi-Fi, and all necessary amenities. You’ll share common spaces with our family but will have privacy when needed.

    Family Life:
    You’ll join us for breakfast, lunch, and dinner daily, becoming part of our family routine. Your main responsibility will be to assist with our two energetic boys, particularly in the afternoons, by taking them to the beach (a 5-minute walk!), engaging them in playful activities, and interacting with them in English to help improve their language skills. Our family sun umbrella is reserved for the entire season, so you’ll enjoy sunny days by the sea with the kids. Light help with tidying up after meals or occasional dog walks (if comfortable) would be appreciated but are not mandatory.

    Ideal Candidate:
    Fluent in English; basic Italian is a plus to ease communication with the family and locals.
    Enjoys working with children, is patient, and has a proactive attitude.
    Comfortable around friendly dogs.
    Available to join us for summer weeks (dates flexible) and embrace a warm, family-oriented environment.

    Perks:
    Live steps from the beach in a modern, comfortable home.
    Immerse yourself in Italian culture while sharing your language.
    All meals and accommodation provided.

    If you’re a caring, reliable individual excited to spend a summer by the sea with a lively family, we’d love to hear from you! Please reach out with a brief introduction and your experience. 😊
