The Experience
We are an Italian family, with three girls (Eva 11, Nadia 9 and Lucia 6) and a lovely dog called Nina. Besides having English conversations with the girls, we expect you to help us with our daily routine (picking up and dropping off the girls, especially) and with the weekly cleaning of the flat. We live in the heart of Genova, a beautiful city by the sea. From here, you are able to go to wherever you want!

This experience was the best month of my entire life ! Upon arrival the home welcomes you into her family , you instantly feel at home she is just the best!! the home and Enrico are the most amazing hosts. The girls are so wonderful ! I will miss cooking crepes with Eva and going shopping to Bershka with her . I will miss my adventures with Nadia , the aquarium & getting gelato! I will miss playing games with lucia , who is shy at first but once she warms up to you she has such a big personality!! This experience never feels like work . I am so sad to leave I wish I stayed longer .

My stay with Giusepinna, Enrico, and the girls was nothing short of incredible. They recommended so many great spots around the city and introduced me to locals! They were very considerate and flexible for me and I was able to explore the entire Italian Rivera and then some. The only thing I wish was different was the duration of my stay, I blinked and it was over! I recommend staying for at least 2 months. Thanks for everything <3 -Caroline

The home and Enrico are so incredibly welcoming, and the girls are absolutely amazing!! There is so much opportunity to travel and enjoy Italy while getting to know this amazing family and learning more about Italian culture. The work is pretty light: walking the dog Nina, picking up and dropping off the kids, and playing/speaking with them! I met so many other au pairs from around the world as well and it was such a wonderful experience. Thank you guys for everything, I couldn't have asked for a better time in Genoa!!
