Description
Hi, we're a family of four: Raffaella, 42, who works as a teacher in secondary school, Franco, 40, engineer and two kids: Stefano, 11 years old, and Giulio, 8 years old. Piemonte is a nice region and we live in Piossasco, close to Turin but very quiet place. We'd love our children could learn others languages and others way of life. We're absolutely sure that meeting people coming form other countries is the best way to learn.

Juliette is a delicious girl. She spent ten days with us and she was always well disposed to everything. She was kind and patient with children, smiling and nice with us. She agreed with all the things we asked, she had no problems with food or the small room, and in just a few days we felt absolutely safe with her. She even cooked wonderful… read more

I helped with kids after school, speaking english and playing with them, and babysitting some evenings. I had all the day free to explore (biking, hiking, going to Torino for the… read more

Better late than never - Last year in October Raffa and her husband Franco took me in super last minute for one week (if I remember right) and I had a great time at their place! They even managed to throw me a spontanious family birthday party with cake as my 26th birthday was my 3rd day working with them :) The work was really easy, looking after… read more

I'm very worried about the fact Tim didn't show up. He didn't answer at the phone neither at the email since 4 days. If somebody knows him and knows everything is fine, please write me!Thank you.

I enjoyed playing with the kids and talking to them in English. They treated me as part of their family and invited me to many everyday activities such as parties with friends or a… read more

If there were five smileys Stefano, Giulio, Raffaella and Franco would get them! The three weeks I spent with them were the best of my whole trip!! I had an absolute amazing time with them and they offered me to come everywhere they went. Stefano und Giulio are great children and it has been so much fun playing and spending time with them!… read more
