    Italy is a beautiful country and Calabria, which is located in the south, is especially so. We live in a small village made up of ancient churches and monuments. For those who want to know the traditions, food and culture of the south this is a place to see. I can teach you how to cook typical Italian and local dishes (pizza, lasagna, pasta, donuts, tarts...).

    L'Italia è un paese bellissimo e la Calabria, che si trova a sud, lo è particolarmente. Noi viviamo in un piccolo borgo fatto di chiese e monumenti antichi. Per chi volesse conoscere le tradizioni, il cibo e la cultura del sud questo è un posto da vedere. Posso insegnare a cucinare piatti tipici italiani e locali (pizza, lasagna, pasta, ciambelle, crostate...).

    My husband and I work mostly in the mornings and usually the girls go to school every day. We would need a girl who speaks with the girls. We prefer that the girl be a native English speaker or with good knowledge of the English language to talk to the two girls.

    Io e mio marito lavoriamo soprattutto di mattina e di solito le bambine vanno a scuola ogni giorno. A noi servirebbe una ragazza che fosse disposta a stare con le bambine per insegnare loro la lingua inglese. Preferiamo che la ragazza fosse di madrelingua inglese o con buone conoscenze della lingua inglese per parlare con le due bambine.
