  Description

  We are a cheerful family and very curious to know a culture different from ours. we see the figure of the aupair or workaway as an added value to the family, in terms of language and experience. We will do everything to make you live this experience to the full, making you feel an active part of the family and offering you opportunities to get to know a new language and a new culture at 360 degrees.
  
  We are a family made up of mum Elena, dad Alessandro and our 4-year-old daughter Arwen, a creative, very affectionate girl, she really likes to draw and learn new things. We live with 3 loving and polite dogs, two labradors and a bedlington terrier. We are groomers and work in the shop at our home. Arwen is at school from morning until about 4:00 pm. We love all animals, we also have a horse and a goat but they are not at home.
  
  Our town is called Lendinara 45026 in the province of Rovigo in Veneto. It is a very nice town rich in Renaissance history, with the bell tower which is among the highest in the Veneto. It is well connected by bus and train to the major cities.
  We start grooming in the morning and finish around 6pm, we take Arwen to school and pick her up at 4pm. Once the work is done we prepare dinner or go running errands.
  
  We are looking for a neat, clean and kind girl, who loves to actively play with Arwen and also with our dogs, full members of the family. We also believe that English is a very important stone in our daughter's life, education and culture. German, French and Chinese are also interesting languages to explore, so if you can speak one of these languages it is an added value for our family. We really appreciate the seriousness and flexibility.

  Help

  we are looking for a babysitter who is like an older sister for Arwen.
  We would like to meet a talkative and sociable person with whom to laugh and chat at the dinner table, go out on trips. a neat person who doesn't mind doing some chores around the house like vacuuming, cleaning, tidying up.you will be required to clean your room and bathroom.
  But the most important thing we expect is to really focus on our daughter during these hours that you will spend with her. It would take a sunny girl, with a smiling character, but also responsible and with an enterprising spirit. We really need to have great faith in the people we live with. We're waiting for an au pair who doesn't just watch over our daughter, but finds a fun and effective way to grab her attention, and use your initiative to teach English or other language while having fun.
