  Description

  * HELP NEEDED FROM NOW
  
  Ciao! We are an ordinary family with extraordinary needs...
  Who we are: mum, dad, 3 children (10 years old baby boy, 8 years old baby girl and 5 yo baby boy), 3 cats...and you.
  Where we live: we live in an awesome place nearby Verona, the lovers town where Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet was set. Negrar, the place where we live, is a few kms nearby Verona and we stay in a house sorrounded by wineyards since this is the place where the famous red wine Amarone is produced. From here you can reach many places in a few hours by train: Venice, Florence, Milano.
  What we are looking for: a volounteer helping with children care, speaking english with them (and with us!), playing, reading, looking after them for a few hours a day. Flexibility is our password!
  What we offer: the warm hospitality of a family, an accomodation on your own with your own bathroom, the good company of three kids, italian food and "cooking classes", good wine of course ;-)
  And of course your spare time to do what you like.

  Help

  We need help to get children (10, 8 and 5 years old) ready to go to school.
  
  *YOU ARE FREE FROM 8 AM TO 4 PM!!!*
  
  Sometimes we might need you to go and pick them up at 4 in the afternoon, and then spend some time looking after them...and speaking english. My husband and I work a lot from home so you might also be asked to look after kids while mum and/or dad are working from home. Some help in housekeeping is appreciated!
  We need your help for 4 hours a day, more or less, from monday to friday. The weekend is free for doing what you like.

  What else ...

  Our first experience with workaway is over. We have really loved to host a wonderful girl and really enjoied her being very helpful with us...she was supposed to stay just a few months, when she arrived (November '18) but she left one year and a half later!
  
  Also our second experience with workaway is over: it was great, as usual! She was a young woman from Poland, who really enjoied playing with kids, making ballet lessons to our baby-girl, cooking polish special foods and opening us a window on being a young european citizen...She also stayed for a long time (8 months) and she is so in love with Venice that she has decided to move there.
  
  Many others have come and help, and it has alwas been a "learning"experience for our family.
  
  And now...we would really love to meet another person who likes to spend time with children, patient but also cheerful and dynamic.
