    Dear Workawayer,

    We are looking for a workawayer to be a responsible helper to our children and to become another member of our family.

    My name is Valentina and I am 42 years old, I work as an Adminstrative consultant together with my husband Alessandro ( 42) in our company.

    We live in an indipendent house in San Gregorio di Catania, a little, safe town just 10 kms away from main city Catania, a beautiful place by the sea and with a mild temperature all the year.

    Our town San Gregorio di Catania is very close to the main city of Catania and you could use the public transport for reaching also Acireale, a very beautiful barock town.
    Our town offers everything you may need: shops, post office, pubs, supermarkets, gym, pharmacy, local organic market, free wi fi zone and catholic churches at a walking distance from our home. People here is friendly and the town is safe.

    We have one son Lorenzo age 12 years old, a daughter Flaminia who is 14 years old and a Emilia who is almost 4.

    Emilia goes to the nursery and she is starting learning English.
    The children are sporty and sweet. Flaminia likes to go skating and acting and Lorenzo likes playing music and tennis.

    The WA we are looking for has to have a good english.
    The eldest two can fluently communicate and understand english very well.

    We will ask some help from Monday to Friday in the afternoon hours in supporting Emilia while playing or reading books in English.
    You will have weekends free.

    No night work is asked and just light housework (i.e. empty the dishwasher, vacuuming the dining room, tide up kids toys with their help...)

    You will have your own bedroom equipped with a Tv, Wi Fi access, and a private bathroom with a shower

    We have 5 cats that lives mostly in the garden.

    You will be asked to spend the time doing any kind of suitable activities for her age as arts and crafts or reading books to improve their knowledge of the English language.

    We would prefer having a WA with a degree in Education and sincerely interested in extending her knowledge in this field through a real life experience.
