What's this?

Details

Description
We live in the beautiful town of Jesi, near Ancona. I'm 51 and my wife is 44. We have a child, almost six years old. I work as an artist and a lecturer whilst my wife is a social worker. We both love to cook healthy but tasty food, and enjoy having meals together. If you also like to cook, we will be glad to taste and learn your cuisine.
Type of help
Babysitting / child care
Language practice
Art project
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Apart from seeing and sharing the lifestyle of an Italian family, you will be hosted right in a middle of an historical little town, in a rather ancient building. There is also the possibility to be involved in some research/art project.
Help
We need you to help mainly with babysitting. Then some practice of the English language with one of us, and our baby who is almost six years old. (People interested in art projects: please write us!)
Languages spoken
Italian, English, French
Accommodation
Our flat is on the first floor of a XVI century building. Wifi connection.
What else ...
Jesi is in a very beautiful part of Italy, surrounded by hills (home of renowned wines). Almost on every hill there is a middle age castle surrounding a little village, always with a small ancient theater hidden somewhere. Our town is 25 km away from the sea and almost the same toward the mountains. There are a lot of things to see and do, and people around here are friendly. Last but not least, this is a region with a great culinary tradition.

Eli was a valid collaborator, always available to solve problems, to help. Very well educated and polite, he has entered well into our family rhythms. If he decides to continue his experience as a workawayer we are sure that he will be appreciated wherever he goes, as we have appreciated him.

Living with this family was a fantastic experience. The work required was well within reason, and Silvestro is great, and easy to get along with. The family is flexible, and was willing to accommodate me with food as well as trips. I believe that this family truly went out of their way to make me feel welcomed as well as helped me experience Italy… read more

Luiza is a very nice and clever person. Silvestro was immediately in tune with her.
She is kind and always ready to help.
It has been a very pleasant time for all of us, and we will bring with us the musical motif of this month spent together: baby shark doo doo, baby shark doo doo…!
So thank you very much Luiza, we hope to see you again soon

Cristiano, Giovanna, and Silvestro are my second family. They are extremely kind, genuine, and hospitable. I learned Italian really fast and always felt comfortable around them. They were very accommodating to my vegan diet. The best part was living the authentic Italian life and being immersed in the culture. I also have to say the best food I… read more

Océane was great company, kind, attentive and very nice. She was of great help when we needed it, and we had a good time together when we had some free time. She is an interesting person, with whom you can talk for a long time. Good cook and, above all, very good and sweet with our son: we hope she'll come back soon to visit us! Recommended!

Jesi is a nice town with a beautiful old city center. And since they leave in the center, you can go almost everywhere by foot. You can also go to Ancona (the… read more

Hi you three!

This was my first workaway experience and it couldn't have been better! I spent five weeks in and around Jesi and felt like a real member of the family and Silvestros bigger sister =). During the week I brought Silvestro to the aslio and picked him up again. Life is so easy going with you!
They even took me with them for three… read more

We liked very much to have Nancy here and we definitely recommend her.
She was a bit cautious at the beginning (at least this is what we felt!), but very soon she showed to be increasingly at ease and we had a good time together: she is mature, responsible and during her stay she has been always supportive and of great help.
Silvestro loved her… read more

Highly recommended: it was my fist experience as workawayer and couldn't be better.

Every time they make me feel like at home, Cristiano is amazing, a man who you can talk about anything.

I don't have words to express my gratitude for… read more

Yueh-Hsing is a lovely, cheerful girl, with a great sense of humour. She's always ready to make new experiences and easy-going. She has been so nice with our little boy, who was always happy with her. We loved her very much and we miss her smile and her company. Cristiano, Giovanna and Silvestro
