Family Links
was established in 1993 and it is presently is involved in the following
activities: finding families for foreign students who either want to au-pair
in Italy or just have food and accommodation in exchange of a few hours
of foreign language tuition to the family members (Housing guests) , placing Italian au-pairs in Europe and arranging home
exchanges world-wide.
Home
exchange is a
new concept of travelling, very popular in the Unites States and increasingly
appreaciated
in Europe. It allows travellers to
cut accommodation expenses by using someone else’s house with all its comforts
and eventually have
a car included in the exchange bargain too.
Families
travelling with small children will find a playing room
equipped with toys and accessories and those leaving their pets at home
will know that they will be
attended during his absence.
Au-Pair
jobs
allow young people, aged between 18 and 27
years, to travel abroad for a period of 3 to 12 months, living with a
host family and learning to know habits and the traditions
of other European Countries.
In
exchange for a small domestic help and of a
few hours of baby-sitting, Au-Pairs
get a small salary for their personal expenses and eventually language course
Due
to a large demand, we have recently established a "housing guest" programme aiming to promote a
cultural exchange among students and young people of different Countries, by
means of short stays abroad.
Foreign students (boys & girls)
can come and spend some time with an Italian family, receiving full board
& accommodation in exchange for a few hours of English tuition and
conversation per week.
Most
families have children of the same age of their housing guest and do welcome him/her
as part of their family, never disappointing the certainly high expectations for
the world famous Italian hospitality.
