Join our German family at beautiful Lake Garda, Italy

Details

• 

  Description

  We are a friendly, open-minded family living in a beautiful rural setting overlooking Lake Garda, surrounded by nature, olive groves and forests.
  
  We are looking for someone who enjoys a relaxed outdoorsy lifestyle, surrounded by nature and appreciates the peace and beauty of country life. We live in a small village, not a city — so if you love nature, fresh air and a slower pace of life rather than busy city life, you might feel right at home here!
  
  We are looking for support with everyday tasks around our house and garden, as well as occasional help with our three children (5, 7 and 9 years old), for example picking them up from school once a week.
  
  We have been hosting au pairs and Workawayers for many years and enjoy welcoming people from different backgrounds into our home.
  
  We would be happy to host you for three months or longer and look forward to hearing from you! 💛

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  We had a very positive experience in Summer 2025 (May to September) with a 27 years old girl from Italy and our current german Work Awayer extended her planned stay from 3 from to 6 month and is leaving mid December 2026, when we all go back for Christmas holidays to Germany.
  As we Are a German Family, so you can learn some German (when interested) while at the same time living in Italy and exploring the heritage and culture of this beautiful country.
  We are an educated family - we both studied natural sciences - I think you can benefit from our mindsets in many ways. We have a very open minded lifestyle and talk openly about everything.
  I think, staying with us is a positive experience for personal growth, furthermore contacts to local people can be made.
  
  There Are plenty of activities at Lake Garda like any kind of sports acitivities and social events. Having a car would makes everything much more easy, but you can also Walk down to the Lake (30 min.) and from there take a bus.

  Help

  I am looking for someone who supports me with the daily housekeeping (I have 3 children) - which is tidying up the house regularly (beside free days), fold clothes, and spending some time with Children, for example bringing or picking them up from school (which I am mainly doing).
  I am a yoga teacher and organise 4 yoga retreats in the summer time from May to September, so I am also happy to have some company and support during the retreats. Our summers are quite busy, we have many guests coming over (family, friends, retreat guests) while the winter time is quite and cosy ;)
