Description
Hi!
We’re a family of four living near Milan, in Arese. There are two of us parents (40 and 50) and two kids aged 3 and 6. We love spending time together and traveling, but during the business week we work quite a lot, sometimes from home and sometimes from the office.
That’s why we’re looking for an au pair: to help with school pick-ups and to take care of the kids during busy, activity-filled afternoons. We’re looking for someone who genuinely enjoys being with children and is happy to take responsibility when we’re not there—giving them the care and attention of a parent, but with the warmth and playfulness of an older sister. We’d love someone who speaks English with them and interacts naturally like a big sister would.
We’re also hoping to find a girl with her own passions and interests, who is excited to share them with the kids and enjoys coming up with different, engaging activities to do together.
We really enjoy meeting new people and with us you’ll be part of our family, not just a guest. Few lines about us (although you perhaps prefer knowing much about the kids!) My husband loves IT and music, and I enjoy art and ceramics. We’re hoping to find someone open-minded, who likes exchanging ideas and growing together.
We live in a green, quiet town with lots of cycling paths, and we offer a private room with a shared bathroom in our independent house.
We can’t wait to meet you! 😊

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
As an Italian host family, we love creating a warm and friendly environment where cultural exchange happens naturally every day. By staying with us, you won’t just be a guest, you will become part of our family. We are happy to share our language, our traditions, and to show you the most authentic places in our area. At the same time, we are very curious to learn about your culture, your habits, and your way of seeing the world.
During your stay, you will have many opportunities to practice languages, taste local food, join our family activities, and experience daily life in our country. We believe that living together as a family is the best way to learn: through conversations, shared meals, and simple moments of everyday life. We hope to offer an experience that is enriching for both sides, leaving you with new skills, new perspectives, and a true feeling of belonging.

Help
We're looking for an independent, responsible au pair who is ready to become an integral part of our family. Someone gentle and attentive, especially with young children, as they need care. It would be great if you're playful and can inspire our kids! You will have lots of free time as we ask you to walk the kids to school in the morning and pick-up them + “babysit” from around h 16 (with the pick-up) to 19.
