Hi! I 'm Ketty, I 'm an italian teacher, a pretty good chef and a mum! we're looking for somebody who can help us with our little sweet Raquel and Linda.
We're living in Fano, by the sea, the city of theater, pubs, music, cinema ,events. It is not a big city (70.000 residents) but it's full of history ,culture and tourism! Fano is also in a perfect position to travel (by train or by bus) as it is in the centre of Italy and in few hours you can reach the south or the north (Firenze 3h, Roma 4h, Bologna 2h, Rimini 1h, Pescara 2h, Venezia 3h, S.Marino 1h!).
I can add that my husband often works in Torino and Milano as a musician (beautiful cities…Torino was the first capital of Italy and it’s full of interesting things to see! ), so you could reach and visit them in an easy way (with him).
I've got an amazing family: my husband Francesco plays guitar and sings, he plays his original musics and covers, he plays rock music and also songs of Battisti, one of the most famous italian singer in Italy, so he travels a lot for his concerts.
My daughter Linda is 8 years old, she understands english and she speaks also. She is a “smiling girl”, calm but curious, active, sweet. Raquel is now 11 years old,she understands a lot of english (as we already had previous experiences with english aupairs), she likes dancing, singing, reading and playing.
If you are mother tongue you can give some "english lessons" to my friends and earn money in a very easy way: especially doing just conversation in english. Write to me if you want more informations
Ciao!
