Description
We are a family of four people (wife and husband and two daughters) from Rome.
We live of Rome in a residential area not very far from the centre of the city.
Our first daughter is very fond for ballet while the younger one loves to... talk a lot! Stefi (wife) is a teacher and a cake designer in her spare time. Alf (husband) works in a large company.
Our daughters speak some english (not much) and the same goes for Stefi. Alf is quite fluent.
Our daily routine is always quite busy trying to match all the different needs of work, school, after school activties.. etc.
Our kids are growing and we think it would be very good for them to be exposed to people of different culture. We also consider very important for them to learn/improve English and this would the main help we need.
This year we hosted an girl from abroad for the first time and the experience was awesome so we would like to continue with new ones.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We live in Rome in the EUR area not far from the centre; you can enjoy the full beauty of Rome within 30 minutes of public transport (note: we will pay for that) and at the same time stay in a quite and nice neighborhood.
Talking in english with the kids you will at the same time learn italian and we (the parents) will be more than happy to help you to learn it.
We love and cook italian food and the Work away will discover italian cusine and gain some kilos!

Help
We are looking for a female english native speaker which will speak/teach English to our kids (helping them in their school work, talking and playing with them,...) and also for us an opportunity to practice it.
The help we expect is mainly in the afternoon and in the early evening, spending time with the kids. We would request you to spend 5 hours per day with them 5 days a week.
Your free days would be Sunday and Wed but we are flexible on this and we can agree it time by time.
Languages spoken
English: Fluent
Accommodation
Private room; we have a cleaning lady three times a week but we would ask you to keep the room in order and tidy.
Bathroom is "semi" private because we have our washing machine in there. and, if it is ok with you, you may share the shower with our children
What else ...
We want you to become part of the family as much as possible; you will be welcomed to spend free time with us or go somewhere else as you prefer. In the weekends we sometime go to Naples (we have relatives there). You would be welcomed to come with us or stay in Rome in our home, as you prefer.
We will have dinner together but you will be on your own for lunch most of the days (cooking or just grabbing something from the fridge as you prefer).
If you have any special dietary requirements just let us know and we will provide you what you need.
We kindly aks you not to take other people home.
