Details

Description
We are a very happy family with 3 young kids of 12, 10 and 7 years old. Then we have a very sweet dog called Drop and a beautiful white cat called Daisy!

The average wakeup time is 7.30 am and then we love doing many things such as playing, biking, walking, jumping and dancing and...having friends over!
NEveR getting bored!! ;-)
Type of help
Babysitting / child care
Language practice
Teaching
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Learn italian and visit Genova and the North of Italy. Experience italian culture in a tipical italian family!
Help
We would like someone to help mum 1 hour in the morning to get kids to school! Then 3 hours in the afternoon after 4 pm to pick up the kids and take them to sports. Important for us is that you love kids and you will just speak and play in english with them, so that their english can improve!!
The rest of the day and weekends would be free for you to go to the beach or visit Genova or, if you like, attend an italian course.
We need flexibility but are also flexible too and will do our best to maKe you feel at home!
If possible we would like you to stay few months...even the whole winter time if possible!! The experience we had up to now with workawayers staying in our house, was that the longer time they can stay, greater is the relation we can establish with awarding results for each of us!!

Accommodation
Private room and bathroom
What else ...
We live 10 minutes walk from the sea and 15 minutes of bus from the center of Genova.

With its multitude of hidden gems behind cozy alleyways, excellent cuisine (notably fish and seafood), renovated old port, beautiful sights (including one of Europe's biggest aquariums), and its position as the European Capital of Culture in 2004 have made the birthplace of explorer Christopher Columbus an enticing place which is gradually becoming more included in the touristic market. With pastel-coloured terracotta-roofed houses, artistic churches, lovely seaside villas, and also several luxurious boutiques, Genoa is a must see if you want to experience the "quintessential" Italy.

I stayed with Claudia, Arturo and the kids for a month over summer and it was the best experience I could have hoped for - I really fell in love with the people and the place! The kids are all balls of energy who love to play and be outside and will make you laugh all day. Although it was sometimes a bit of a battle to get their homework done,… read more

Thankyou Claudia, truly a blast! Although I was only there for a week it was a great time the family are so welcoming, happy, easy-going and just lovely I really did feel like I was at home. The kids are very fun to play with and the parents are equally as lovely to chat too. I simply could not have asked for a better place to start my travels,… read more

I could not have asked for a better time in Genova with Claudia and her warm and welcoming family! We had fun bike riding, swimming in the sea and sharing delicious Italian home cooked meals (with lots of foods from the garden!). The kids were full of energy and it was lots of fun playing games with them after school. I also learned about the… read more
