    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.

    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.
