  • Description

    Hello,

    My name is Franca and I am an Italian woman, 67 years old.

    I speak English, French, Spanish and Greek and I love learning about other cultures and sharing my own.

    I love spending time with children. I raised my son, who is now an adult, and recently I volunteered in an after-school program from September to June, four afternoons per week. I helped children with homework, reading, games and educational activities.

    I am especially interested in an au pair role, helping to care for children and becoming part of family life.

    I am a calm, caring and responsible person. I like creating a positive environment where children can feel safe, learn and have fun.

    I enjoy reading stories, helping with schoolwork, creative activities, sports and outdoor activities. I especially love being near the sea and spending time in nature.

    During my professional life I had different experiences.

    I worked abroad for 6 years in tourism as an Alpitour tour assistant, where I learned to adapt to different cultures and communicate with people from all over the world.

    Then I worked for 6 years as a medical representative, developing responsibility, communication skills and independence.

    Later, I managed two franchised shops: one specialized in home textiles and one in clothing. These experiences strengthened my organizational and management skills.

    I am happy to help not only with children but also with light household tasks, such as preparing simple meals, keeping the kitchen tidy or helping with daily family routines.

    I enjoy being part of family life and contributing in a positive and respectful way.

    I am looking for a cultural exchange experience where I can become part of family life, help with children and share languages, values and everyday moments.

    I would especially love a location near the sea, as I enjoy walking and outdoor life.

    I believe children can teach us as much as we teach them, and I enjoy sharing everyday moments with curiosity, kindness and joy.

    I look forward to meeting you!
