Description
Hello!
this is Sara and Alessandro and we have 2 wonderful kids Alice (9 years old) and Andrea (6, a boy).
We will be happy to host, as we like international environments and intercultural exchange. We've been hosting since August 2019 and this is such a memorable experience for all of us and the children are really happy, so we are encouraged to continue with this experience. -

Help
the host will take care of our kids some hours a day, mainly from monday to friday. The kids go to school from 8 am to 4 pm, from monday to friday. She will prepare them in the morning and bring them to school by bus and she will pick them up in the afternoon, prepare a snack for them, stay outdoor to play or come back home, help Alice with her homeworks and bring them to their activities. The kids only speak a little English so far, but as they are little they learn fast and easily :) we are looking for a person who will teach them some English and help me cooking some meals.
