    Description

    My wife, my 11 y.o. daughter and me have returned to Italy some time ago after years abroad, where my daughter attended an international school with an intense English program.

    Unfortunately, English in Italy is not really spoken, so we would like Alena to keep it up by having somebody to practice it with.
    Just playing with her and staying with her during her day at home, helping her to improve her vocabulary and explore the language.

    My wife and me speak English as a second language, and we don't really use it to communicate to each other.

    The person we are looking for should be a native speaker.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    We are an international family (I'm Italian, my wife is Czech), our daughter already speaks two languages as first languages and she's picking up English as a second language.
    Good thing about us is that we can be very international but also very local at the same time.

    Help

    Help will be needed mostly in the afternoon, picking her up from school or when Alena is back from the summer camp, and my wife and me will be busy with our jobs.
    Occasionally we might need it other times of the day, according to our schedules.
    Important, we require a non-smoker.

    Accommodation

    We live in a flat in the center of the town.
    You are going to have your own private room in the house with its private bathroom.
    Anyway, we will have to use your bathroom for showering, since the one we use has no shower facilities at the moment.

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    Since we are located in the center of Tuscany we are surrounded by many tourist attractions that can be seen in the free time.
    Trains and buses often go to Florence, Siena, San Gimignano, Pisa and Lucca.
    The station is at walking distance from home.
