Description
🌿 FAMILY DESCRIPTION
We are a warm, welcoming and open-minded family living in the heart of Catania, Sicily.
We are a family of four: mum, dad, and two energetic and curious boys aged 8 and 10.
We have been hosting Workawayers since our children were very young (3 and 1 years old), so we are experienced hosts and we truly value cultural exchange and respectful sharing of daily life.
Our home is organized, calm and family-oriented. We value clear communication, mutual respect and a positive atmosphere.
Our children are lively, curious and intelligent. They enjoy sports, building, creative activities and hands-on experiences. Like many children their age, they are also attracted to screens, so we try to balance this with real-life, active and engaging experiences.
We are not looking for passive supervision. We are looking for someone who naturally brings energy, ideas and initiative into their interaction with children.
We live in a central and well-connected area of Catania. The sea is not within walking distance but easily reachable by public transport. Sicily offers an incredible mix of culture, history, Mount Etna, and beautiful landscapes.
During school mornings, you will have free time to explore, relax or travel around the island.

Aide
🌸 We are looking for a proactive, energetic and creative person who genuinely enjoys spending time with children in an active and engaging way.
This is a cultural exchange and a volunteer position. No financial compensation is provided. We offer accommodation and meals in exchange for a few hours of cultural and educational interaction with the children.
🌟 The most important qualities we are looking for:
Energetic and proactive personality
Creativity (games, crafts, storytelling, movement activities)
Confidence in engaging children without constant guidance
Ability to naturally create connection and involvement
Positive and flexible attitude
🌿 What the role involves:
We mainly need support in the afternoons after school.
Typical schedule:
Morning: free time
14:00 – children return from school
Lunch and homework time
17:00–19:00: active play and English interaction
Weekends are free.
We would like someone who:
Speaks English naturally with the children
Leads creative, sporty or hands-on activities
Encourages outdoor play and real-life experiences
Organises small weekly ideas/projects (cooking, crafts, games, challenges)
Supports English learning through natural interaction
⚠️ Important: We are not looking for passive babysitting or someone who waits to be told what to do.
We value initiative and the ability to bring ideas independently.
Video games are not considered a main activity during the time with the children. We aim to encourage a healthy balance with more creative, active and social experiences.
⚠️ HOSTING CONDITIONS
Due to past experience and for organizational reasons, we kindly inform you that:
We cannot host groups of friends or multiple volunteers at the same time
We are generally not able to host couples
We do not host full families
We are, however, open to hosting:
a single volunteer
or in some cases a mother with one child (depending on compatibility and available space)
We appreciate your understanding, as these conditions are based on previous hosting experiences.

Small collaboration in daily family routines (such as helping set/clear the table) is appreciated, as part of normal shared living.
We value a relaxed and respectful home environment where everyone feels comfortable.
