    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Spending time with me and the kids, you will be immersed in Italian culture. I'm Italian but I only speak English with my kids, because I want to raise them bilingual. That's why we're looking for an au pair who will speak only English with us. We also love spending time at the park and hanging out with other families.

    I'm looking for someone who could take care of the children after school, either by joining activities with me or by looking after them independently (one child at a time). I also need the Au Pair to walk them to and from school . I'm a high school teacher and I only work a few hours in the morning, so I will also be home in the afternoon, but I need help because I'm almost always alone with both kids.

    What else ...

    Pocket money: €300 per month + health insurance reimbursement. We don't pay for the flights.
    Every Sunday, I'll share the schedule for the week. We can easily adapt it based on both our needs and yours. We try to be flexible so that you can have the best experience also during your free time. Your free time is yours, and we don't expect you to spend time with us during your free time (if you'd like to, you're always welcome to). Meals will be shared during working hours, while other meals will not usually be shared (you can eat whatever is in the kitchen, including leftovers, or cook for yourself using the household groceries).
