Description
Dear Au Pair, We are a family of five: my name is Arianna, my husband Pieralberto, and our three children are Nina, almost 8, Teo, almost 6, and Otto, almost 4. We have two cats. We work in Cortina d'Ampezzo, a small, popular mountain resort in the Dolomites (a two-hour drive from Venice). Cortina in February will host the 2026 Winter Olympics and Paralympics games.
My husband and I both work in tourism; I own two clothing stores, and my husband is a chef at a mountain chalet. Our schedules are very busy during high season. The children attend school and kindergarten Monday through Friday, finishing at 1:00 PM. They have sports activities on some afternoons. And during the two Christmas weeks when school is closed, they attend winter camp in the mornings. The children love skiing, climbing, and hiking. Nina also loves gymnastics and dance.
For all these reasons, we're looking for a girl over 18 years of age, determined, energetic, cheerful, very responsible, and mature young woman who's flexible with her schedule and willing to spend afternoons and weekends (not all of them) with our children, doing activities and playing together.
The period could be from around December 18th to March 1st.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
You'll spend a lot of time with the children; they can teach you Italian, and you can teach them English. In the evenings, we'll always have dinner together, and lunch if you wish. On weekends we often organize pizza and movie nights at home. Weekday mornings will be free for sports or activities. You can take Italian courses at the Cortina language center. You'll experience the Olympic period firsthand (open ceremony, etc etc) .
There's a supermarket nearby, a 5-minute walk away. There's a bus stop right in front of the house, which takes you to the town center in 15 minutes.
In the town center, you'll find supermarkets, pharmacies, and many shops.
From the house, you can also take lovely walks and reach the town center in 40 minutes.

Help
We ask that you spend time with our children when we're not home. We usually have dinner together in the evenings. We ask that everyone (including the children) help set and clear the table, tidy up toys, and tidy up the common areas. you will have all mornings off Monday through Friday, except on days the children are home from school. If you'd like to visit Venice or other nearby destinations, we can arrange a day or weekend of your choice and can help you find bus schedules.
