Hello, we are a family of six and we live in Padova, a nice city not far from Venice.
Our kids are 17, 14, 9 and 6 yo.
We're curious people, travel enthusiasts, open to new cultures and happy to make new friends.
I work in an office (mon/fri 8-15) and I'm currently studying at the university, my husband is a shift worker about to start a professional training course. My parents moved to Portugal in 2018, so we can only count on my mother-in-law's help occasionally.
Our last experience with workaway dates back to five years ago, in the meantime our family enlarged and there was no longer enough room for a guest, but in a while our eldest daughter will spend some weeks studying abroad and her room will be vacant, so this can be our chance to host someone new and enjoy cultural exchange again.
Our previous experiences with workawayers have been very lucky, we met some very special people and among them three precious friends that we are still keeping in touch with. What made this bond so tight is probably the quality time spent together and their ability to enjoy their time here and give their best.
We live in an apartment: on the second floor there are a single room and a bathroom exclusively available for our guest.
The neighborood is very quiet, nice for running or simply strolling around, you can reach the city center in about 20 minutes by bus or by bike. It's very easy to visit Venezia from Padova (30-40 mins by train).

Padova is a quite big and very nice city, really close to Venice (about 30 minutes by train). Both these cities have important historical monuments, churches, squares and places to be visited.
In the surroundings of Padova you can find Colli Euganei, which are a very quiet and suggestive place, great for walks, excursions, and local food.
Even Verona, Vicenza, Treviso and Bologna can be easily reached by public means in one hour or less.

Ayuda
We need support with our kids and some little help around the house.
We would need the volunteer to pick-up our 2 youngest kids at school at 4PM and take them to gym or piano lesson (very close to our house or easily reachable by public transport), or simply spend time with them until 7PM.
We are looking for a reliable and helpful person, focused on our kids safety and well-being, aware of the pros&cons of cohabitation with a foreign family in a foreign country, open to learn about our habits, flexible and willing to get along well. We will do our best to make you feel at ease, we will ask for as little help as possible and encourage you to explore around when no help is needed, so that you can enjoy the benefits of living away from home :)
Basically we want you to feel comfortable here, happy to share time and experiences. The only specific request is to make our children always feel safe with you and to do your best to create a good connection with them and the family.
Tania helps us cleaning our house once a week so we don't need you to do any specific housework, it's just expected from every family member to cooperate in keeping the house clean and tidy, we help each other in everything, and even the kids are used to collaborating and cleaning after themselves.
P.S. A basic knowledge of Italian is definitely useful, because our youngest kids can't speak English

Palina is sweet, smart, sociable and reliable, our kids immediately felt in ease and trusted in her.
