Description
Please contact us only if you are planning a minimum stay of 3 weeks!

WE CAN HOST FROM SEPTEMBER 2017!

We are a dynamic and enjoying family with 2 sparkly and gorgeous children, Marco (10 yo) and Greta (9 yo).
We live in Cremona (beautiful city), not far from Milan, in a terrace flat at the first floor of a Liberty building.
We are looking for an English mother tongue person who genuinely loves children and has a natural ability to care for them. Check at our calendar!

We like organizing trips and going to the country in the week ends (kids love animals a lot!!). Cremona is in a good position because we can easily reach Garda and Iseo Lake and Verona in less than 1 hour, while Venezia and the Liguria region (Genova and 5 Terre) in 2/3 hours.
We like also travelling, making sport, going by bike and knowing new people, so we are very exciting to have you in our family.
Types of help and learning opportunities
Babysitting and creative play
General Maintenance
Help around the house
Language practice
Help
We would like you to be like a big brother to our kids being responsible and assertive at the same time and to be able to easily fit into our family routine. We have had more than 10 people till now and every time we had a great experience.

Our ideal person should be flexible, hard working, efficient, reliable, honest, GOOD HUMORED (smile!) and PROACTIVE.
PLEASE NOTE: WE NEED YOUR HELP!
We expect basic skills in cleaning and cooking and appreciate people with initiative and imagination.

You should help children in their activities, taking them out, sometimes cooking for them, picking them up from the school and being their best friend and a big brother.
We need also a help with housework (es. vacuum and mop the floor, put in order babies's rooms, their toys and clothes, set the table ...).
You should have a great sense of responsibility and enthusiasm. We need someone tidy and who can used his initiative to see what we need.

We need your help especially in the afternoon, from monday to friday. Weekend free.

Brendan did excellent work with my children, and always with a smile and good humour. He is very competent with kids, easy to communicate with, tidy and helpful. If you have a chance to host him don't hesitate!

I had the pleasure to be welcomed into this family's home for one week, and it was positive from start to finish. Despite being very busy with work and other activities, Gianluca and Elena made sure I had all I needed to be comfortable in their home. Everything was well organized and uncomplicated - the sign of professional workaway hosts. I loved… read more

Sorry guys for such a late feedback.
I spent nearly one month with you and it was a great experience. Everything was so organized and my tasks wear so clear which gave me so much free time. Most importantly, the kids are so lovely and it was always fun to spend time with the two <3.
Moreover, you welcomed me whole-heartedly into your family.… read more

I'm finally getting round to writing some feedback for this family. They hosted me over the December holidays in 2015, and I can barely put to words what an incredible experience it was. Gianluca and Elena are two of the most kind, considerate and generous people you will meet. I immediately felt a part of the family. Cremona is a truly beautiful… read more

Staying with this superb family of resourceful, intelligent and accommodating people was the best start of 2015 I could have hoped for, and I can't thank them enough for being so friendly, hospitable and generous. Italy has so much historical cultural wealth to behold it's amazing; I was fortunate enough to visit several astounding places, to… read more

Alex is a lovely person with a lot of patience, especially with my children. We spent 4 weeks together having fun, relaxing and eating good food. I was also a good english teacher. We miss him and we hope to host him again.

I apologize for it taking me so long to write feedback! I had my first real international travel and first workaway experience with this wonderful family last fall. I spent a bit over 2 months with them, and could not have asked for a better workaway. There were some things that could have been improved by better communication from both sides, but… read more

Victor is an amazing and enthusiastic guy. He is an acute observer of life and people: he's always looking for the best way to deal with person (... my children ;-)).
He'a also a very good chef! We've tried and learned a lot of different dishes and tastes.
At last he's tidy and clean.

I've spend 5 months with the family and I have to say that it was a great experience. We traveled together, cook, went shopping, made sport and infinite adventures. The children are well educated and in public the behave quite well, of course they are children so do not expect to have always a quiet and relaxing dinner. Although they eat healthy… read more

I spent two weeks with the Manini-Suardi family and had a great experience! At times the kids can be a bit of a struggle but they are a really lovely family and easy to get along with! The area is lovely and Gianluca and Elena took me to some other places around Italy for day trips which was great and I hope to visit them again! Thanks heaps :)
