  Description

  Hi, this is Diego. Francesca and I have 2 kids, Sofia (9) and Lorenzo (6). I run my own business and Francesca is a primary school teacher. We like in a small town near Monza, 30min by train from Milan city center. Sofia is in 4th grade, she loves reading, writing stories and dancing. Lorenzo is in his first year at primary school. He is fond of playing soccer, he just would play all day long. They are good, easy to get along with kids. We are a quite normal, open-minded, and friendly family. We don't ask for much housework, but mainly to take care of the kids and interact with them to let them speak some English with a mother tongue friend.

  Accommodation

  You will live in our house, in Sofia's room. She will sleep in the upper open space, and she loves it, actually. There is a bathroom just beside the room that you can use almost exclusively (it is just used at night by the kids). We are good cooks and we like food, but you can have something different.
