Descripción
Dear Workawayer my family is composed of my two children Francesca (15 yo) and Alessandro (13 yo), and me (Valeria 52 yo). I teach at the University of Catania in the master degree of Pharmacy and my children attend schoool. Moreover, we have two lovely dogs and two cats.
We live in a beautiful and comfortable mansion on one single level with a large garden around and a swimming pool. The conformation of the land is typical of the Etna's area. The endemic vegetation, the Mediterranean scrub and fruit trees find space among the centuries-old lava stones. The villa is very close to the city center (15 min walking and 10 min by bus) and located in a residential area of the upper area of Catania. The bus stop is very close to the house, 50 mt.
I would say that our family is very easy going. We love the outdoors, going to the seaside, traveling, playing with children, and staying with friends.
We live in Sicily and precisely in Catania. The city is directly on the sea. In this time of the year, the weather is very warm and lovely and it is possible to go to the seaside. In Catania, by night during the whole week there are some nice pub with live music and many college students coming from Sicily and many Erasmus students coming from foreign country. It is possible to attend class of Italian language and improve/learn this beautiful language. In addition, the city is near Etna volcano (the biggest one in Europe), Taromina, Siracusa and Piazza Armerina, all of them beautiful place for one day trip.
I have experience with workawayers and plenty of experience with au-pairs since we had more than ten in the past ten years. All of us speak fluently English and I speak also Spanish.

Catania - sandwiched between the Ionian Sea and a volcano, is a city shaped by lava Catania. After dark, it really came alive.
