  Description

  We are a family of 4 people: me, Matteo, 53, an employee in a big company in Ravenna, my wife Sabrina, 45, psychoanalyst, and 2 kids Davide, 11 a sweet devours books and Jacopo 9, a lively soccer player and a future actor.
  We live in Faenza, world famous for her pottery (here is also a specific Art Institut for the pottery), a nice and little country near Ravenna, ancient capital of the Western Roman Empire world famous for her mosaics.
  Faenza is a very beautiful city, big enough to offer entertainment, culture and nature, but small enough to be experienced by bicycle (we can loan a bicycle to the volunteer). Close both to the hills of the Romagna Toscana and the Adria sea, easily achievable in 30/40 minutes by train or bus.
  Many green areas make the city pleasant and liveable.

  Help

  We are mostly interested in long-term staying, but we are considering also shorter period...so feel free to contact us!!!
  We are looking for a girl or a woman native English speakers, because for us is crucial that our children become familiar with this language. So we will ask the volunteer to talk to them as much as possible in this language; at the same time we are at her disposal for the practice of her Italian.
  Jacopo is at school from 8.00 am to 4.20 p.m., from Monday to Friday, Davide from 8.00 am to 1.00 pm. We ask the volunteer to pick them up from school and accompany them in their activities until 19.30. (Davide has soccer traning on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday from 5.30 pm to 7.30 pm, Jacopo on Tuesday and Friday from 5.30 pm to 7.30 pm, (the football field is located a few hundred meters from home) and disposability for a couple of nights a week if we go out
  At 21.30 kids go to bed. So, even if we ask the volunteer to take care of them in the evening, it's just to be at home in case of their necessity, because they go to sleep early.
  Farther we ask to help us with the kitchen cleaning after dinner and some hours in the morning for the basic housework (Also for cooking, if she likes it).
  On suturday and Sunday the volunteer will be always free, with the possibility to stay with us sharing our sociality.

  Accommodation

  Ours is a big house on three floors: the living area downstairs and sleeping area upstairs. The workawayer will have a furnished room on the ground floor and the exclusive use of the bathroom on the same floor.
  She will also have a personal space in the kitchen (pantry / fridge) for her needs. It will still be our care to assure the necessary for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
  We always eat togheter at breakfast and dinner; at lunch instead we are rarely at home and the workawayer will cook for herself.
  Wi-Fi connection available in the room.
