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!

This experience was amazing. the home, Enrico and the girls were so so friendly, kind, helpful and just such wonderful people. I will miss them all very much. The work didn't feel like work and was mostly just walking Nina (the lovely dog) and picking up and taking the girls to activities/school etc and talking and playing with them to help with their English. (Although they all spoke amazing English) I met so many other au pairs as well :) And also Genova is a great place to catch a train and explore somewhere on days off! I cannot recommend this experience more, the most lovely family 💕

Being an Au Pair in the home's family was truly amazing! The tasks were easy and fun. I really liked spending time with the girls, they are so friendly. Besides that I had a lot of free time to explore Genoa and its beautifull surroundings :) The parents gave me a lot of tips about where to go to which was really nice. I will miss the dinnertalks a lot. the home and Enrico were the best hosts ever. Nina (the dog) is really sweet and I loved walking with her. Thank you so much for this experience! Cant wait to see you all again! ~Vera

This experience was the best month of my entire life ! Upon arrival the home welcomes you into her family , you instantly feel at home she is just the best!! the home and Enrico are the most amazing hosts. The girls are so wonderful ! I will miss cooking crepes with Eva and going shopping to Bershka with her . I will miss my adventures with Nadia , the aquarium & getting gelato! I will miss playing games with lucia , who is shy at first but once she warms up to you she has such a big personality!! This experience never feels like work . I am so sad to leave I wish I stayed longer .

My stay with Giusepinna, Enrico, and the girls was nothing short of incredible. They recommended so many great spots around the city and introduced me to locals! They were very considerate and flexible for me and I was able to explore the entire Italian Rivera and then some. The only thing I wish was different was the duration of my stay, I blinked and it was over! I recommend staying for at least 2 months. Thanks for everything <3 -Caroline
