  Hi! We are currently based in the heart of Tuscany, one of the most beautiful regions of Italy. We are surrounded by hills, rivers and streams. Stunning walks such as the pilgrimage route from Rome to Canterbury at your doorstep! You can swim in the natural areas, cycle or walk. An hour away from Firenze by direct coach, we are well linked to all the rest of the country! If you are sporty there is an Olympic swimming pool, running paths and more. Shops, a library, two cinemas and a theatre minutes away from home.

  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  We all speak English and Italian as we lived abroad for years. I also speak Japanese. I am a qualified English teacher and you can practice conversation with us. You can connect with the local community easily because there is a pub, a library, cinemas and a theatre where they do events. There are concerts and music in the square throughout the summer. I am passionate about travels and Asia in particular. I will love to hear your story!

  Aide

  I’m a full working single parent with two daughters and I need someone who is flexible and patient to help me with them, cooking and daily house chores. I have a toddler and an English speaker 10-year old.
  I would love to have someone who could cook for all following our eating habits (international, healthy, wholesome and mostly but not limited to plant based food). Great if you can follow my recipe books!
  In particular I need help to keep the house clean and tidy, like the kitchen/living room area and help my older daughter to keep her stuff tidy.
  In terms of personality, I need a proactive and patient person who knows what needs to be done in a house while helping my children grow in a positive and healthy environment. I want to cultivate a cosmopolitan and international environment at home and promote intercultural exchange, especially Asian culture.
  
  If you are efficient, you can have a lot of free time.
  Daily tasks sample:
  
  7:50
  Take the bigger one to the school bus stop
  Empty the dishwasher and store the dishes
  Cook dinner for all (to be eaten at about 6.30pm)
  
  16:45
  Collect the bigger one from the school bus
  
  17:10
  Meet me with the little one back home
  Play with the little one while I take a shower
  Spend time with the bigger one while I take the baby for a bath, get dinner ready
  
  18.30
  Dinner time
  
  Extra tasks sample (weekly, not daily):
  
  Empty the washing machine and hang the laundry to dry
  Take the rubbish out
  Buy groceries (refunded)
  Take/collect the bigger one to Scouting at about 6pm (this involves going to the camp on a Sat or Sunday)
  Sweep the floor (only ground floor)
  Clean the guest bathroom (the one you’ll use, while I’ll take care of my one)

  Cet hôte propose un échange linguistique
  I am passionate about Asia. That's why we prefer an au pair that could speak the language to the baby, or if an English speaker, that could transfer some Asian culture to my kids. We are a multilingual and cosmopolitan family.
