Description: Selected Italian families are looking for reliable, mature, trustworthy, well mannered, punctual and fun loving English speaking au pairs, who enjoy being with children and getting involved in their activities, keeping them active and out of danger. They would really appreciate that the au pair is great with their kids, providing a stimulating environment for them and assisting in the general tasks of playing, doing funny things together, keeping their bedrooms clean and tidy with maintenance of toys and books, giving a hand with light housework following the family's habits - such as helping at meal times - getting the children ready to sleep at bedtime, making sure they are bathed daily and always clean.

Qualifications: It is not necessary to be qualified to work as an au pair. But it is important to have experience with children as the host families need to trust the persons who handle their little loved ones. The au pair must be aware that she/he will be homesick, so she/he has to wish strongly living this experience, as at the beginning it might be hard. The au pair has to be mature enough to adjust with the new habits and ways of life, very different from hers/his, without feeling shocked by the cultural change. The host family will do their best to help the au pair.

Minimum Education: Diploma/Certification

Salary / Pay: around 350 euros monthly

Experience Required: yes

Attitude towards children is very important for an Italian mother. The au pair must play and interact with them, not just stay around while they play by themselves. This is something that foreign au pairs sometimes do not understand, but it is what all Italian mothers actually wish. The successful au pair is absolutely involved in what the children do, is creative in organizing their games, keeps them active, happy and out of dangers. And talks a lot, for them to become confident with the English language.` has been removed.
