Description
We are a professional family living in the historic centre of Florence, in the beautiful neighbourhood where the US Embassy is located.
I am a 51-year-old senior real estate consultant and my wonderful husband is 63. We have two teenage children: David (18) and Laura (15).
We are currently looking for a cheerful, responsible, resourceful and not least a sociable, native English speaker with teaching experience - to join our family for a 4-6 week stay.
The role involves helping all of us (in turn 😂😂) improve our spoken and written English level, as well as assisting with small everyday household chores ....
We appreciate people who have strong organisational and time management skills, a can-do mentality and a genuine desire to be part of our daily lives and contribute positively to our home environment.
A person with the inclination to cook good vegetarian dishes is appreciated!
We offer a welcoming and culturally rich environment in the heart of Florence, with easy access to all the city's attractions.
Only girls who meet these requirements and are available for a minimum stay of 4weeks will be considered. -
