    Description

    Hello!
    We are an Italian easy going family, mom dad and 2 kids (14yo Girl; 13yo Boy). We need some help with kids especially in the afternoon (13.30-19.00): meal prep (lunch/dinner) overlooking kids during afternoon activities (basically homework and tennis). They are very active and autonomous but we would like having a big sister/brother that giving an eye on them when we are at work (till 19.00). We live in Milan area, the city is called Saronno, very close to Como Lake and other amazing sights. The mom (Stefi) is actively involved in organizing TEDxSaronno event, that will be on 23 may in the city. So we really need extra help in the house feb-march-Apri-may- early jun.
    Would you like being part of our family? We like sharing cultural experience, and we often host foreign people. Families references available. Please write me for more details, can not wait for hear from you😄

    *Who are we looking for*
    - minimum stay: 3 months (super welcome longer stays)
    - creative and positive mind
    - someone really like playing with Kids (speaking, tennis, boarding games, baking off, handcrafting, etc)
    - no screens (social chatting ) but human interaction when you are with kids 🥰
    - riding a bicycle is part of our family habits
    - smile and positive attitude

    FREE TIME ALERT! 😅 you will have a lot of free time (all week mornings and all the weekends). Online uni students usually are a perfect match. We already hosted many, they could confirm.

    *Languages preferences*:
    - If you are English mother tongue, or you have a good level of English, you are the one!
    - dad speaks also Spanish, so also Spanish people are welcome! the rest of the family would be happy to learn also this beautiful language :)
    -mom loves Chinese language and culture (as all the family does as well). Mom speaks a bit of Chinese, so she is always looking for the chance to get closer the Chinese culture. So if you are Chinese or speak Chinese, or you know preparing Chinese food, you are 欢迎!! :)

    *Cultural Exchange*:
    - We would be glad to sharing with you our Italian culture ( if you like good wine olive oil and homemade limoncello, we always have some good bottles; mom's parents are from South, they do homemade olive oil and limoncello: dad's relatives have a vineyard, so we drink great organic good wine)
    - a lot of very cheap Italian classes around
    - suggestions about day-trips in Italy (nice and historical cities) or for a weekend abroad in Europe (a lot of European Cities are well-connected by direct flights) We are flexible also in your 'week' (if you need Friday or Monday off, we will try to manage)
    - Luna(13yo) studies french at school... So also french could be a new language to learn in the house ;)
    - food exchange: we like trying new food, and sharing ours.
    - TEDxSaronno project: is a no profit event, based on volunteers. Mom (Stefi ) is the founder and curator.

    What do you think? Would you like joining us? Please pack your stuff! :)
    Can’t wait to read your message.
    Thank you very much
    Xo🥰
    Stefi, Giacomo, Luna & Mattia
