Detalhes
Descrição
Please read carefully before applying.
We do not accept volunteers for stays of only one or two weeks.
We are looking for people who are truly interested in a meaningful cultural and work exchange, not a short holiday experience.
This is family life. It requires responsibility, flexibility and real involvement.
For this reason, we kindly ask for a minimum stay of 3 weeks, so there is enough time to build trust and integrate into our rhythm.

About Us
We are an Italian family with three children aged 12, 10 and 5. We live in Acireale, near Catania (Sicily), in an independent house with a large garden.

What We Expect
Mature volunteers
Previous experience (especially with children and family environments)
Responsibility and reliability
No phone use while interacting with the children (unless truly necessary)

Participation in daily life and shared meals
We are especially looking for people who are not in their first experience and who understand that this is not a vacation, but a collaboration based on trust, respect and mutual exchange.
We have had both good and challenging experiences in the past, so clarity from the beginning is important for us.
If you are open-minded, responsible, and truly interested in becoming part of a family for a while, we will be happy to welcome you.
