We are a host family all the year, now we are planning for the period novemberr -december, or period 2024
We love long experiences, 2-3 month, but we also consider shorter options.
We are looking for a guest the before christmas period
We do not give the residency in our house for any reason also the request for citizenship.
We are a host family from more than 4 years (also other programs), we had a stop from February to July last year because of the lock down. We in hte last yearguested a lady from canada, and we spent summer withspanish young woman autumn with Martha, we had a visit in december from austria (our guest for 3 month in 2020)... in january we have all set to welcome jade, and after her from the usa will arrive Trent...
We are a host family 12 month a year. We are a family of four people, Pierpaolo (father), Vuokko (mother) Sebastian and Karin.
We can accomodate only one person, this year both our kids are going to school and be out of the house for most of the time so our needs changed from the preovious years. there will be less baby sitting acivities, and more houshold and reordering duties. but being the kids in school from 7:15 to 16:30 or 17:30 the house would be mostly in order...
I speak fluent English, Pierpaolo can speak and is always learning, Sebastian speaks and understand english too. Karin was born in an intercultural envirioroment. We speak Italian, Slovenian and English, we are all learning German too but now we just know some words!
Our closest relatives live in the area, Sebastian's grandparents, uncles and cousin, and the one that moved out when are back in town always come to visit us.
Sebastian is 9 years old, he was born on August 14th 2014. Karin is one, was born in September 2017 she is going to be 6. We like learning from other cultures, we love outdoor life, sea, mountains and walks in the country side. We also enjoy ice-cream, coffee and chocolate. We often to go out for pizza, and ice-cream or some traditional meals. We love animas we have two cats living with us.Tipos de ayuda y oportunidades de aprendizaje

Hello, we joined work away in september 2018, and we are hosting our eight guest, till now we had a great time with Franciska (Germany) Sofie (austria), Catherine (USA), Camilla (Denmark), Miu (Japan), Gloria (Slovenia), Martha(Germany) and Aara (USA), at Melanie from Austria, Lea from france, Jess from Uk, and Margot from canada, we we had Merixtell from spain last summer, hannah from germany till december, Tyla from australia, and our first male guest Trent is leaving soon.
. We are a host family from more than 6 years, we hosted young students from all the world in exchange programs, we joined work away because we love to live in an international house, and we would love our kids to be open minded. We need some somebody that would like to join our family, that likes kids, and enjoys family life somebody that would like to feel like a relative for us (till now always happened with success). In our family we both work and need help with the kids and the house
.
I, Vuokko, am a pharmacist, I work part time, Pierpaolo is a dentist, he leaves the house at 8:30 am and comes back around 20:00 from Monday to thursday.
School starts around half September for Sebastian (9 years old)and first week in September for Karin ( 6 years sold in September). School will be over for in June
We need somebody that helps us in the morning, (setting table put on the coffee machine, heat the milk) to get ready for breakfast and to keep an eye on the kids while we are getting ready.We ask our guest to pick up Sebastian or Karin in school at 15:30, it is 15 minutes walking from home. During school time we ask some 2 hours of childcare, but it will be a short time because kids will be this year both in school. During summer vacation period, and school holidays or strikes, we ask baby sitting when I go to work. Usually three four mornings. In a house with kids there are always toys everywhere and our guest task is to keep them in order. In the week days we ask to take care of the dish washer and clothes from the loundry. In summer to reorder the pool ad beach toys and equippment. Could it be that we would ask for evening childcare .We would like our guest to speak his native language to the kids, tell them and us about their country. Helping us to keep the house in order and be like a relative to us. We need somebody that loves to stay outside, and enjoys walking, both schools are in a walking distance, 20 minutes. We are interested in creating a durable relation with our guest so that when the kids will be older we could met some where in the planet :-).
We have a house keeper that does major work once a week, so the house work is very light, mainly consist in reordering toys, kids room, folding clothes, setting /reordering the table and filling /empting the dishwasher.
main tasks:
- speak english or the native language with the kids (no Italian with the kids)
- baby sitting/picking up kids from school bus stop
