  Description

  Hi to you all! We are an Italian family of 4 living in San Donà di Piave by Venice. We have 2 children, Ethan (3 years old) and Noel (3 months old), that are adorable and enjoy being around fun friends and family. I am Roberta (41, from South Italy) and I am a school teacher. My husband’s name is Denis (46, from North Italy) and he works at a multinational company. We enjoy the outdoors, going to the beach, spending time with friends and listening to all types of music. We love travelling, meeting people from all around the world, reading, cooking, doing sports, going shopping etc. With us there is always something going on! We love exchanging cultures because we are fully convinced that it can only enrich our lives and our minds. It can be an important experience especially for our children, who can learn not only a foreign language but different points of view and views of life. I studied in Germany when I was “young” 😊 that’s the reason ‘cause we try to speak at home at least 2 languages: I speak German, Denis speaks Italian (and a little bit English).

  Help

  We are looking for someone who loves children and is very trustworthy and caring. Someone who would like to be part of our family and share great and simple experiences (i.e., being all together at meals blabbing and trying new dishes), spend time with us, practise foreign languages (German or English and Italian). We are not in search for people doing house cleaning, but just supporting me and spending time with my children by playing together, reading children books, singing and teaching meanwhile your language (learning by doing).
  Please do not contact us if you are looking for an Italian holiday residence only.

  Accommodation

  We live in a small house not so far away from the downtown (you can reach it by bike or on foot in few minutes). The train and bus stations are about 5 minutes’ walk away from our house. You will have your own bedroom and access to the rest of the house (WIFI incl.). Unfortunately, we cannot offer you a private bathroom because the second bathroom, on the first floor, is also used as a nursery bathroom.
