Description
We are a professional family living in the historic centre of Florence, in the beautiful neighbourhood where the US Embassy is located.
I am a 51-year-old senior real estate consultant and my wonderful husband is 63. We have two teenage children: David (18) and Laura (15).
We are currently looking for a cheerful, responsible, resourceful and not least a sociable, native English speaker with teaching experience - to join our family for a 4-6 week stay.
The role involves helping all of us (in turn 😂😂) improve our spoken and written English level, as well as assisting with small everyday household chores ....
We appreciate people who have strong organisational and time management skills, a can-do mentality and a genuine desire to be part of our daily lives and contribute positively to our home environment.
A person with the inclination to cook good vegetarian dishes is appreciated!
We offer a welcoming and culturally rich environment in the heart of Florence, with easy access to all the city's attractions.
From 10 July to 10 September we will move to our beach house in Marina di Pietrasanta, which is about an hour and a half by train from the centre of Florence.
Only girls who meet these requirements and are available for a minimum stay of 4weeks will be considered.Types of help and learning opportunities
