  Description

  Ciao a tutti!!!
  Dear travellers, we are really happy you’re thinking about sharing some time with us.
  For our first experience hosting a WA (but we have already hosted MIA from Canada, MEGAN from Northern Ireland, then Carrie from UK, Sanni from Finland, Megan from UK, Tori from UK, Maddie from Canada, Maya from UK, Zoey from New Zealand)
  we are looking for a young woman who should be independent but sociable and ready to give to our kids love and attention.
  We are looking for an older sister for our two kids, speaking English, patient, cheerful, NON-smoking and open-minded.
  You could be able to travel, to learn a new language/culture, and did I mention eat Italian food? ;)))
  
  We can provide the contact of our previous aupairs.
  We are looking for someone who loves playing with the kids, helping them improve the language, someone who wants to 'taste' the culture slowly with no rush and who can stay minimum 3 weeks.


  
  
WHO WE ARE
  The family
  
  We’re a family of 4: Sara aged 38, Stefano 46, Benedetta 5 years and Lorenzo, 2,5 years.
  We do respect people and try to teach kids to do the same, so I could say they are respectful with our guests.
  We like healthy food and lifestyle. Surely, we don’t buy that much ready-to-cook food. We’re not vegetarian/vegan even we try to limit meat and milk consumption. Depending on how much free time we have, we like to prepare our own food. We don’t like to waste, especially plastic, and we usually drink tap water, bringing with us a canteen when we go out.
  We don’t like very much watching the TV, but we are used to watch some Disney movie now and then.
  Me and my husband are both doctors. We speak English at a very good level.
  Benedetta is a sunny and determined girl, Lorenzo is a sweet and smiley boy.
  We are enthusiastic of our aupairing experience, we love this cultural exchange and would like to continue, possibly with a girl speaking fluent English.
  We would like to try the WA because we think that having young kids we would like someone really independent, who can travel by herself during the weekends.
Our family loves to travel and we try to work out when we can and we make healthy (but yummy!) home meals.
  We are looking for a cultural exchange, and we would love to communicate clearly and let you try authentic Italian food, let you make authentic Italian life experiences and try to help you learning some Italian language, too!


  We are looking for someone who can respect our habits and house, someone who can understand the importance of a tidy and clean environment.
We would like to welcome people from different cultures, cause difference lets you really know there is not always a different point of view.
  We usually have dinner all together, but during working days at lunch we are at work, so you can prepare what you prefer, kitchen is at your disposal.
