So grateful for the time I got to spend with this amazing family. All of them were so eager to share their love and life with me. Would absolutely recommend to anyone. Their kids are very creative, smart, and so much fun. I grew attached to them and will miss them a lot! Vito, Arianana, and everyone else were also very helpful and caring to me. The place is so close to both a train station and the beach. You have the entire morning and weekends to explore or just relax. It's been such a wonderful and unique experience. Very grateful!

Guys...if you love kids, education, are flexible, while making light of every situation, and have high level of energy, then this experience is for you. From the first day until the last Vittorio was an incredible communicator. He not only ensured that everything was running smoothly for his kids but he was always quick to help me with any situation I needed, had any arise. Arianna was also incredible, she was kind, loving, and humorous which made me feel like I was a part of the family. The kids were incredible, they adapted to me as an au pair quickly. The grandparents were also incredible.

A wonderful experience with a very welcoming family! Daily work typically consists of spending time with the kids and helping them practice their english through reading, writing, playing games, etc. I also did a lot of tutoring lessons for the family's english tutoring business. Hours can be long sometimes, but always rewarding and a great way to immerse yourself within the local culture and cuisine. I quickly grew to love the family and feel like a part of it!

A one in a lifetime experience! I stayed for a month and really fell in love with the kids and truly felt like a member of the family. The parents are very warm and welcoming and the kids are eager to get to know you. The mom is an excellent cook and the meals are never short of delicious. I got to try so many authentic Italian dishes. Although the hours can sometimes feel long, as you meet with the family for meals an hour before and after each shift, the work is very rewarding and enjoyable. Overall, an unforgettable experience, and I will miss the kids dearly!

I had a lovely stay with this kind and unique family. The kids and I grew to be very fond of each other and it was very enjoyable to feel like a temporary 'big brother' of theirs. They are all extremely intelligent, confident, and lively in their own ways. Very big personalities! Arianna and Vito are experienced hosts who always made me feel comfortable. As a volunteer you are given private accommodation separate from the house and always wonderful food from Arianna. The English lessons I gave were a valuable experience for me, although it can be challenging. I wish to see them all again soon!
