Description
We are a happy family who lives in Padua, a nice city famous for a very old university and very close to Venice (twenty minutes by train) . The city is full of students and young people from different countries, full of opportunities. We live in a nice neighborhood close to the main square, Prato della Valle. The family is made by me (Chiara) and my husband Alessandro (we are both lawyers) and two daughters: Anna is twelve years old and Alice is seven. Anna attends the secondary school with musical address (she plays the cello) and loves singing. She plays tennis several times a week. Alice attends primary school until four in the afternoon. She plays tennis too. They are very cute and open minded: they are used to staying with so many different people :). We all love playing tennis and doing sports:
during the winter we often go to skiing and during the spring we love going to the seaside near Venice where we have a boat sail.Types of help and learning opportunities

We already did two experience with an aupair and it was fantastic. We met new friends and built wonderful relationships. We are interested in improving our english and learning about the habits and traditions of people from different countries. At the same time we would be very happy to teach Italian language to our guest and italian cousine too:). We are also available to pay an italian course to our travellers.
