  Description

  Hi! We're a young family with a 3-year-old son. We live in a beautiful seaside town on the Adriatic coast. I, Claudia, speak fairly fluent English and have traveled a lot for work and study. We're a family who loves exploring new cultures and making new friends. Our son is a very sweet child who attends nursery school all year round. The nursery is closed during the months of August and September, so we need help during this time. Besides Italian, I also love speaking to him in English and reading books in English, so we're looking for a native or fluent English speaker who can interact with him in English.

  Accommodation

  We offer a large, clean, and comfortable private apartment next to where we live. Wi-Fi is available.
  We love sharing meals with other people. During the week, we eat mostly vegetarian meals. You are welcome to share some meals with us when the child is present (e.g., breakfast and dinner). We offer complete freedom for lunch, as we are busy with work.

  What else ...

  Our town has a train station accessible by bike and/or foot. Bus lines are very frequent. We offer a bicycle for getting around town. The sea is 500 meters away, while the town square is only 450 meters away. All amenities (pharmacy, shops, supermarkets, etc.) are just a few meters from our house.
  We're a very environmentally and nature-conscious family, so we're looking for someone who is, too. We don't like waste. We're also looking for someone who only uses their phone when absolutely necessary in front of our son. The TV is almost always off in our home; we prefer to interact, play, sing, etc.
  We also offer a bicylcle for moving around.
