Dea is a student, she like put make up on, clothes and take photo with her i-phone. she likes go outside with friends and she hate goes to school!!! She likes dance a lot!!!!
She goes at school from Monday to Friday from 8 to 2 pm
I’d like to grow up my children as bilingual or fluent in English speaking but I can’t help them because I’m not fluent in English. I would like to host someone who is very talkative, who both has no problem getting involved and being with children actively, talking to them not just watching that they don't get hurt.

Activities & Shift

I'm looking for a person that can speak in English with my kids . they are 12 and 5 . you can play with them or go outside for a walk together and cooperate at home to keep home tidy ( set table together, sweeping and washing when required)
I hope to find someone interested in share their knowledge in English to my children, in return I can offer my italian skill in italian languages and italian cooking !
We would also expect some help around the house within what we consider "normal" when house sharing with someone, cleaning after yourself and participating in house chores like emptying the dishwasher, cleaning the table after eating, cleaning the bathroom occasionally, helping with the shopping, etc. Life does get hectic at home and I am not very good at asking for help, it is a big plus if you have previous experience and if you feel you know how to give a hand in a busy household.

Rules

No alcohol or cigarettes
Clean person
No using phone while we eat together or while you take care children
No speaking Italian in fron of children
