    Description

    Hi there, we're Katja & Michele & V**, an German-Italian family with a lovely dog. We live in the middle of the alps, in a small village, having a big garden and hiking trails starting right beyond the yard. We are looking for an helping hand during the month of august to look after V** (6 years) while we are working, so please contact only if this time-window will fit.
    In addition we are looking for some gardening help in springtime and autumn for short stays.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    In our bilingual family, you have the opportunity to learn or improve your Italian. Having lived in both countries for extended periods, we can tell you a lot about the differences and similarities between the two cultures. We primarily cook Italian food, so we can give you an insight into Italian cuisine.

    We'd be happy to go on hikes or excursions together to the most beautiful places in the area. Look forward to crystal-clear rivers, green meadows, and turquoise mountain lakes. Enjoy breathtaking views and the highest mountains in Europe.

    In unsere zwei-sprachigen Familie hast du die Möglichkeit italienisch zu lernen oder zu verbessern. Da wir in beiden Ländern für längere Zeit gelebt haben, können wir dir einiges über die Unterschiede und Gemeinsamkeiten der beiden Kulturen erzählen. Bei uns wird überwiegend italienisch gekocht, so dass wir dir einen Einblick in die italienische Küche geben können.
    Wir können gerne gemeinsame Wanderungen oder Ausflüge zu den schönsten Orten in der Gegend unternehmen. Freu dich auf glasklare Flüsse, grüne Wiesen und türkisfarbene Bergseen. Wunderschöne Aussichten und die höchsten Berge Europas.

    We are looking for a German-speaking au pair to look after our daughter 5 days a week, playing with her, doing crafts, playing in the garden, riding her bike, cooking lunch, and, most importantly, speaking German. I work 20 hours a week and am not at home during that time. Michele works from home and is therefore available in case of emergency.

    You will have your own room with a bed/sofa (with a proper mattress) and a desk. A private bathroom with a shower is also available in the basement. You can use the shared spaces, such as the living room, dining room, and kitchen, just like we do. The large garden with a hammock and other garden furniture is also available for everyone to use.

    Since food and cooking are very important to us, we would like to have main meals together, which we would enjoy preparing together.
