  Description

  Hi there! We are a family of four living in Parma, looking for an au pair to take care of Frida (11) and Iris (almost 10) starting from the end of August/first week of September.
  I am Valentina (50) and I am an English teacher, and my husband Dimitri (53) is a manager and works in Milan.
  Parma is a lively small city really appreciated by international students, you can move around everywhere by bike and we are only one hour far from Milan and less then 2 hours far from the seaside (Liguria and Tuscany)
