Description
We are an Italian family living in a nice house in a small city very close to Milan, composed by dad, mom and 2 young children (almost 2 years and half and 9 months old) and needing help with babysitting and au pair duties. Dad works almost all day and Mom for the moment isn’t working and needs for some help in the house to look after one of the boys when she will start to work. We are looking for an English native speaker (or for a person who speaks a very good English) to speak with the 2 boys and with us too and to teach English to our children in a natural way. I, the mum, I’m Italian, I’m fluent in Italian, and fluent English. At the moment, I’m taking care of the house and of our two children but my goal is to start to work as soon as possible. My husband is Italian and he works 2 days per week from home. We are easy and flexible. We love cooking and we enjoy conversation during the dinner because it’s the moment we can stay together. If you desire to help out a family, become fast friends, and explore historical, artistic and amazing sites in Milan, we would love to hear from you.

Help
First scenario (I’ll be at home).
Volunteers should expect to help in the morning from around 07.30 to 8.30 in staying with the little boy the old boy just the time that I prepare the old one and I get him to the kindergarden, from 8,30 to 16 pm she can be free if we don’t have particular issues (we’ll arrange it in advance in according with her). The rest of the day until 16 should be free. From 17.00 to -19.00 we would ask to babysit to stay with the two boys til the dad don’t finish to work. After about 19.00, she will be free. We won’t need any supplementary help except, just to help me, in the morning too few hours, to keep the children if they are sick Volunteers will be free all evenings from 19pm and all weekends. In total we are asking help for 4-5 hours per day 5 days per week (week-ends will normally be free). We will provide for accommodation in single room and for all meals.

Accommodation
We have a private room with a single-size bed and a shared bathroom with the children. Me and dad have another bath. We live in a nice house in a small city close to Milan, in a very well served green area. In front of our house there is the bus stop that goes to city centre.
Internet in the house is almost unlimited. We have wifi connection. For browsing, general internet use and Skype you should be fine.
You are free to buy and store any food items in the fridge or cabinets you wish and you are free to cook.
We are flexible, sympathetic, and adaptable but we do not tolerate incorrectness, falsity and unreliability.
We don’t have pets.
What else ...
Preference for a non-smoker girl. We will need help from the beginning of January 2021. If possible, we will help you in your activities and wishes. From Milan you can reach many beautiful and interesting sites taking advantage of the weekends (by train it takes roughly 2 hours to reach Genova, 4 hours for Rome, and Venezia 3 hours). If you like hiking, there are a lot places that represent a perfect area for excursions. If you need a week or more free we won’t have any problem in supporting you but we would appreciate to be noticed well prior. A driving license is not necessary but could be useful.
