Where to even start, my time here was an experience that I will take with my forever and hope to return to in the future! Vitto & Arianna are beyond lovely, caring, and it felt like a second family. I had valuable conversations over meals while enjoying Arianna's amazing homemade food. The kids are brilliant, funny, and a great bunch who I had the pleasure of getting to form a bond with. I recommend this experience ONE MILLION percent and I hope that others are just as lucky as I was to get to have the opportunity. I will definitely be back and I thank this amazing family for their kindness!

I feel so blessed to say this experience has been one of the most meaningful opportunities I have ever been given! The relationships I have grown within this family have been a great highlight of my time in Italy. This is my second time doing this experience and I recommend people who are full of energy and silliness to do this. The work is manageable and being around these kids have served me many happy memories ! <3

My experience with this family was AMAZING! The kids are so kind, smart, and full of life and Vito and Arianna are both so awesome. My days were lovely here, I'd watch the sunrise at the beach, work out at the local gym, then be with the kids during most of the day, and get off with enough time to enjoy my night! We got the weekends off so my friend and I could travel. We got 2 delicious meals a day and we were free to make ourselves breakfast every morning. I highly recommend this experience to people who love meeting new people, are good with kids, and who love the beach and small towns!

Where to begin. Arianna and Vito are genuinely the kindest, most generous people I have ever met. Whether it's a conversation with Arianna, or Vito giving you ideas for the kids and how to broaden their immersion, this experience will change your life. If you are someone that loves working with bright kids, immersing yourself in a beautiful small town in Italy, and learning from others, than this is the place for you. Nina, Victor, and Nico (the home was in America when I came), are the funniest, unique kids ever. This experience changed my life, I can proudly say this is a second found family

I enjoyed my stay with Vito and Arianna, the kids were a creative and entertaining bunch. As a first-time Au Pair and Worldpacker, I found the role challenging due to high expectations, inconsistent information, and a period where I felt heavily criticised, which affected my confidence and wellbeing. Things improved as I settled in, though I remained anxious. I was also asked to work in the school, where I found the tasks confusing. I loved playing games with the children, and Arianna's cooking was always a highlight. Despite challenges, I enjoyed my stay and will miss them.

Vittorio replied

Unfortunately she struggled to engage with the children and build a positive relationship with them.After 13 years of experience hosting cultural exchange participants, we feel that family life with young children is not the best fit for her personality.There are also a couple of genuinely unpleasant incidents that could be mentioned, but we prefer not to go into further detail. We have also tons of reviews on workaway https://www.workaway.info/en/account/feedback/read
