Description
We are a family from Verona, in the North of Italy. We are two professionals (Giovanni, a physician, and Paola, a tax consultant) and we have four kids (8, 7,7 y.o. and 3 months). We also have a one year-old regular schnauzer, Brulè, that lives with us and we got adopted by a cat, Creme, who comes home from time to time. We live in a small single house with a garden, in the immediate outskirts of Verona.
We'd like to have someone who can help Paola while she's at home with the newborn, 'cause she's working anyway, looking after the baby and the house, with basic houseworks: we already have a girl that comes weekly to help with the house and a babysitter for the other children, so the workawayer won't have all the duties on his/her shoulders.Types d'aide et opportunités d'apprendre

We are "local" people since we were both born in Verona and have almost always been living in Verona, so on one hand we can tell a lot of stories about our hometown and cook local dishes. On the other hand, we are also very "international", since we spent our young adulthood traveling a lot (Giovanni speaks French and Paola speaks German too). We speak English every day (also with the kids!) and we see movies and TV shows from other countries. And we can cook foreign delicatessen too!

Aide
Despite the arrival of our newborn Agostino, Paola has to work anyway, mainly from home, since she'a a freelance with no other help at work, so we need someone reliable that could look after the child should Paola be right in the middle of a work-meeting online.
The W.A. could take some walks in the countryside with the child and the dog, if he/she likes, or visit the city if Paola will be at work downtown.
In the next months Paola will be still breastfeeding, so the workawayer will have to "stay around", to reach Paola should it be "tit-time", but will have a lot of time by his/herself.
He/she will be obviously welcome to share our family-life, if he/she's pleased.
If possible, we are looking for an English-speaking person (possibly mother-tongue or very fluent), so that the other children can improve their language and learn other cultures when they come home at the end of the day.
Our other kids are Emilia and Irene, 7-year-old twins, and Niccolò, our 8-year-old little man. They already have a babysitter for many afternoons and there is a housekeeper that comes twice a week to do the main houseworks.
It could happen that we'll ask the W.A. to stay a bit with them too, if unexpected appointment should come up.
The longer the workawayer could stay, the better for us.Langues

We are interested in letting the children learn English while speaking it in our everyday life. Adults both know a couple of foreign language (Paola speaks german, Giovanni speaks french).Hébergement
We moved during the summer of 2022 to the hills at 15 mins from the historic center of Verona. The children and us sleep in two rooms, then there are a small laundry room, a big livingroom, a big kitchen and finally a spare big room that we are hoping will host our Workawayer! There are two bathrooms and a toilet. One bathroom is in the parent's room, the other one would be to share between the kids and the Workawayer. The toilet is on the ground floor next to the kitchen.
We have garden all around the house and during the warm days is possible to eat outside. We are sorrounded by olive trees and vineyards, but very close to every facility and to town.Autres infos...
Verona is a small city situated close to the beautiful Dolomiti mountains and to the Lake of Garda, halfway between Venice and Milan. It's very close to almost every type of landscape and a site of both incredible cultural experiences and beautiful natural trekking.
Transportation to Verona is relatively easy. It takes 20 mins by bus to the town, by bike it takes 40 mins (only bike lanes). We have 2 cars and we can give the workawayer a ride downtown in the morning.
Verona is a beautiful town, the city of love (Romeo and Juliet got married here) of Opera (in the Roman amphitheater) and of the most important wine fair in Europe.Informations complémentaires
