Program Details

Our family loves tra­­veling. My husband Maurizio and I used to travel around the world when we did­n't have kids and we now travel with Cristian and Asia. Even when I was pre­g­nant with Cristian I was so brave to fly and exploring Asi­an countries. Our children have probably in­he­rited our passion, because when they se­e a travel suitcase, they start jumping for joy :)

I work from Monday to Friday. I leave the house in the morning and return in the evening, after 5 pm, but my mom helps me and Maurizio with the children! Maurizio works every day, from Tuesday to Sunday and usually comes home after dinner. During the week the children have afternoon activities.

Activities & Shift

The children are busy with school every morning, from Monday to Friday, and alternatively they have afternoon activities such as swimming and dancing. The volunteer will be asked to carry out activities such as reading a book, drawing, writing, playing at home or in the garden… and if the weather is nice, you can take walks in the countryside. Mainly the volunteer will have to prepare the children in the morning then she will be free until Asia came back home after school. She will be with one baby at a time until shower time.

Usually, the volunteer takes care of one child at a time. In this way she can propose different activities and games, suitable for their ages, although I would like to have activities with both of them from time to time.

Rules

Volunteers never have to deal with preparing meals and will always have meals prepared!
Non-smokers are preferred.
