Emma (22 / Ms. ), Australian, Student living in Australia looking for Au Pair & Live-in Tutor job in Italy for 1-7 Months

My name is Emma and I live in Sydney, Australia. I am a student studying a double degree in Law-Arts at the University of Sydney, with a major in Italian and a minor in English. I have studied Italian for 7 years now and visited Italy twice, a country I love. I adore kids and I have had a lot of babysitting experience, particularly with my little cousins. I also tutor English, Maths and History of Religion to children from ages 7-18 and have done so for three years now. I will be on exchange studying at the University of Bologna from February to July 2024. I am looking for a family to live and work for during that time in Bologna or, alternatively, for a couple of months straight after my exchange has ended.

I expect to be able to integrate into my host family's dynamic, helping out, caring for the children and experiencing a new culture and lifestyle. I expect a reciprocal relationship of trust, warmth and generosity between the host family and I. I hope this experience will bring me to love Italy even more (although I don't know if that's possible!). On that note, there are some more tangible expectations I should include. I would love a bedroom for myself, for some privacy and some pocket money each week. Having the weekend free would be great to rest and visit some nearby attractions. I also expect a family that is open-minded, progressive and gay-friendly.
