  Description

  Hello! We are a family of 4: mom, dad, G (6 yo) and little O (3 years) living in Pinerolo, a beautiful city half way from Turin and the Alps ski slopes (45 min each way!). We are looking for someone, fluent in english or spanish and most of all who loves kids to help us with the boys: play, babysit, teach your language, make them happy! :)

• 

  Types of help and learning opportunities

  Babysitting and creative play

  Language practice
• 

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  It's a great opportunity to share your culture and to learn from ours.
  Big family meals (that happen almost every day here!) would be an easy way to learn how to cook true italian recipes!

  Projects involving children

  Help

  Most of all you'll have to take care of the kids, get them from school (everything is walking distance), play with them, take them to activities, bath, bedtime stories.
  No house-works required except the ones in your own room/bathroom. You won't be asked to cook (maybe just some easy meal for the kids) even if we'd love to try your recipes.
  You won't have access to our car but you'll have a bike to reach bus stops and train station or just to wonder around the countryside.
  Work day: 3/4 top hours in the afternoon during the week, one night per week. Weekends will always be free for you to travel around.

  Accommodation

  Separate room with your own bathroom and full board 7 days a week. The volunteer will have enough time to attend Italian courses or to visit Turin and the surrounding areas.

  What else ...

  We used to live in Michigan so everybody in the house is fluent with english.
  We also had a precedent au pair and the kids are very easy going and love to meet new girl.
  The area is very pretty and safe and you'll have tons of options for new adventures such as the city of Turin or Milan, the wine country (langhe area), you can hike nearby or ski on the Alps.
  Pinerolo is a small adorable city too with a super big farmers market I'm sure you'll fell in love to!
