Description
Our family consists of 4 members – me,
Laura -the Mum (47 y.o.), Dad – Maurizio (48 y.o.), Cristian (10 y.o.) and Asia (8 y.o).
Maurizio is a chef in his own restaurant and I work in a bank.
We speak Italian, English and French.
Our kids are Italian native speakers but they can have been raised into a multicultural environment so they can also speaker and understand French very well and also English.
We would really like to guest a girl with a perfect English level (preferably Native speaker) who could play and talk with our kids and help them learn this key language.
Asia likes singing and dancing and both like swimming and cycling and taking long walks in nature.
My children are very curious and they easily adapt to the various proposed activities.
They accept suggestions and initiatives proposed by the au pair.
For several years we have been hosting girls from different countries and with some of them Cristian and Asia still have a particular, special bond.
We live in a detached house with a nice garden and you will have your privacy with your own room and bathroom.
We have wifi in our home.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We live at about 4 km from Portacomaro village, that this the homeland of Pope Francis' family.
Our region is also famous because of Ferrero, the Italian manufacturer of branded chocolate who invented Nutella, Ferrero Rocher and Kinder.
We are surrounded by beautiful hills and many typical villages and even bigger towns dating from the Roman period.
This is a land of exclusive tourism, people came here from everywhere to taste good food and excellent wine (Barolo wine for example is made here).
The famous SlowFood movement started in our region in the '80s and has evolved into a global international movement and approach to food, people and planet.
Many fairs are organized every year especially in Summer, they are a unique occasion to join healthy, tasty and sustainable food with a lot of fun.
Many foreigners choose our hills as their holidays destination.
