Description
I am Annachiara, I am 37 years old and I live with my 6 year old daughter Amelia.
I work in a legal department of an international company which means have a busy schedule and I'm looking for extra help. Specifically, we are looking for child care, housework and discussion in English or Spanish.
I am interested in is having a cultural exchange that will help me to improve my English conversation and give Amelia an initial introduction to English. At the moment she doesn’t understand and she doesn’t speak English. The
relationship will not be easy at first, but (fortunately) she is a sociable, open-minded and quick learner.
I considered a work commitment of about 20 hours per week, which we could schedule
weekly. Times are flexible and needs might change according to activities and events.I will
try to make a weekly plan and we can go over it every Saturday to check for any updates so
that we can get organized accordingly. I will try to make a weekly plan and we can review it
every Saturday to check for any updates, so that we can organize accordingly guaranteeing
you free time. You will certainly have free mornings and afternoons. I would imagine that the
days when Amelia is at her father's you will be able to arrange while I would ask for more
availability when she is with me. I would like it if you want to be away for a few days, It would
not be on Saturday and Sunday, which are days I would like you to stay with me to help me
with English. I don't expect a lesson but to stay with me in my routines thus creating the
opportunity for spontaneous conversation.
I have a preference for a female guest that can stay for more than a month.
We are very dynamic, we love music, sports, friendships and of course... making new experiences!
Please feel free to ask me any questions!Types of help and learning opportunities

Help
In exchange for food and accommodation, we would like to have the opportunity to get to know new people and cultures and improve our ability to speak English and/or Spanish. I would be happy to host a person who has experience with children and is willing to play with Amelia and speak with me in English and/or Spanish.
I require an availability of about 20 hours per week. In the management of Amelia I also have the support of her dad and grandparents so the hours can be scheduled weekly. In this way mornings some evenings and part of the weekends would be free.
Some house cleaning (dusting, vacuuming, light house works).
Occasionally cooking light dinners.Languages
