We have enjoyed ourselves different forms of cultural exchange in the past, including studying and leaving abroad, couchsurfing, blablacar and travelling a lot!

We aim hosting a girl/woman (sorry guys!)
We would like to host you who are proactive in helping in the "daily routine+the unforeseen" and who truly love kids and are motivated to spend quality time with them.
The kids are bilingual Italian and Greek right now,
and we experienced that kids particularly appreciate when we host workawayers who can speak one of these two (basic level doesn't matter ! ); the interactions easier and pleasant.

The help we need consist of about 3 hours/day of proactive housekeeping, preferably in the morning .
We wish to host people for whom cleanliness and tidiness are important
ABOUT CHILDCARE
The help we need with the kids will consist of a couple of hours of childcare some days (no need some other days) , including assisting when we go to the beach or for excursions , sometimes preparing breakfast in the morning and spending some time with in afternoons, reading books, playing, going out, listening to music, singing and whatever make them and you happy. They are at kindergarten in the mornings.
Two or more days off per week are guaranteed;
days and hours of help should be adapted to our working shifts, that are mainly regular but could require a little bit of flexibility.
We will not ask you to be available at nights or on weekends, with some possible exceptions which will be arranged with you according to your availability, of course!
