Description
We are a family of four: dad, mum and two daughters (13 and 14 years old). We are looking for an English speaking girl to help us with foreign languages.
We would like to improve our English and why not to learn another language, such Spanish or French or others. We need help for shopping and for our dog.
Our family lives in a large flat in an ancient house in the historical center of Mantova, a Renaissance Italian city, a great location from where we can reach all the most important cities of the north of the country (Venice, Milan, Verona, Bologna, Florence).Types of help and learning opportunities

Within two hours or less you can reach all the most important cities in north of Italy, such as Milan (2 hours), Bologna (1 hour), Verona (30 minutes), Venice (1 hour and half), Florence (2 hours).
