Description
We are a family with 4 children (16y girl, 13y boy, 11y girl, 8y boy). I am from Tuscany while my husband has Japanese roots. Then, our kids are a nice mix of both cultures. We live in a town very close to Milan and we love hosting people, especially from other countries. We speak many languages (Italian, english, japanese, chinese, french and a bit of swedish and german) and we believe that meeting other people from different cultures is a must for our kids.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
During the time off (the weekends), the traveller will have the opportunity to visit one of the most beautiful part of Italy. Cooking together will be a nice way to learn how to prepare genuine Italian food.

Help
We are looking for a person who is willing to stay with us. We are looking for a young english speaking person (mother tongue) who is willing to teach english to our children, mostly playing with them. A strong leadership feature and passion to play, have fun and communicate properly with kids is most welcome. Cooking skills are a plus!
A nice dog and a cat live with us (even though they think that we are living in their place) and the dog appreciate taking long walks together.
People with previous similar experience with kids and pets will be advantaged, but it is not mandatory.
The location is very close to Milan and is easily reached by subway.

Accommodation
The person will have his/her own room and bathroom. Meals will be prepared and consumed all together. In the backyard there is a garden. We are not vegetarians, but we usually don't eat too much meat. We love healthy and good tasting food. We go to sleep not too late.
What else ...
The weekends are a time where the traveler can use to get around. There is a subway station in town and it is possible to get there in 10-15 minutes walk. From there, you can get to Milan main train station in 30'.
