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!

Program Details

We would like you to spend time with the kids, playing with them and talking to them in English or French, and to do your fair share of the weekly cleaning . We will need you to be available up to five hours a day, four days per week.

The kids are really kind and you will not have problems with them, specially if you already have some experience with child care.

Activities & Shift

Usually three to four hours a day, four days a week. We try to “schedule” these hours in advance, but if you are flexible enough, you will certainly have no problems at all. We cannot promise it, but we will always try to accomodate your schedule.
The tasks are basically playing with our lovely girls, talking to them in English or French, picking them up from school (10 minutes away from the house) and doing your fair share of the weekly cleaning. Maybe there is a possibility of asking you to walk the dog too :)

Rules

No specific rules, except the common sense of living with a family with kids!
