I enjoy taking care of and having fun with children, and of course helping them with their English. My passions are music, travel and food. I am responsible and reliable but fun loving too.

I enjoyed two fantastic weeks with this amazing family at the end of April/start of May this year. From the start the experience was incredible as Caterina was so responsive to my messages. I felt like part of the family from the day I arrived. It was an absolute pleasure to spend time with all of the family - we shared many interests......music, … read more

I have had two wonderful Workaway experiences with Raffaele, one in Livorno and one in Sila. The time I spent in Sila was very peaceful and relaxing. The work was easy and enjoyable. The food I ate was delicious. Raffaele is an amazing and creative cook and you will learn a lot from him. His English is great so there is no problem communicating!

Giovane donna piena di energia e di divertimento. Conosce abbastanza bene l'italiano, ed è perfetta per insegnare l'Inglese a ragazzi e adulti. Riesce a trovare spunti interessanti e a esprimere gioia anche in situazioni apparentemente noiose.
Assolutamente consigliabile.

I spent a lovely week in November in beautiful Luino with Christian. From the very first message, Christian was very helpful and communicative regarding my stay. He was very easygoing even when I had to change my dates.
He is a very enthusiastic student and our lessons were interesting and entertaining. The time during the "lessons" flew and it … read more

I stayed with Ignazio and his two flatmates for a week in October. I really enjoyed my time with them. The three of them were friendly and I felt like I was "at home" during my stay with them. I was very lucky as I really didn't have to work hard. They are all busy studying so they didn't have too much time to "study" English. However, we had good … read more

I stayed with Eugenio in October and it was a great Workaway experience. Eugenio's apartment is located very close to the city centre (you do need to walk up some steps). I felt very comfortable in his apartment, he was very trusting and welcoming. He was a great student, very enthusiastic to learn and always in good form.
Eugenio had to … read more

Ho solo parole positive da dedicare a Isabel!
Sin dai primi minuti del nostro incontro ho capito che sarebbe stata una settimana fantastica e alla fine...ha anche superato le mie aspettative! :)
A cominciare dal pensiero gentile che Isabel ha avuto nel regalarmi un grazioso taccuino con un simpatico disegno irlandese in copertina che ho … read more

I am just back from an amazing week with Alessandra (and Luca). It was my first Workaway experience and I loved every minute. I'm not sure that you can find anyone as friendly and as welcoming as Ale. Every minute spent with her was a pleasure. I thoroughly enjoyed my time spent "teaching" her English. Her English is brilliant already so the … read more
