The Experience

I'm a separated man and my children stay one week with me and one with mother. Help isn't only babysitting but different way to stay with children and in a family with single father. I prefer people like stimolating my children with something manual, artist as painting, reading, sport and other interests in common with them. In the week children are with me helps is more tiring, in the week children are with mother there are less things to do.

Overall an enjoyable experience. Fillipo is a friendly host and kids are the sweetest angels. Tasks are easy and flexible hours. Host makes a big effort to show you around and experience Sicily. But I did not appreciate cameras being installed without notifying me. I also felt uncomfortable at times with some comments the host made and I felt the experience was more the host looking for company/a friend rather than for the kids so if you are ok with this, I would highly recommend this host as he's very friendly. I would also advise rules of the house and hours to be discussed prior.

Yes probabily I wrong didn't say nothing about camera in living room that my son use for King the cat at home because often he is alone and cat stay often in living room. As we explained to Shakira we used when nobody is at home but I can understand she felt unconfortable. I will remove or covered it if somebody doesn't like it. About my comments don't know what I can say maybe my irony is different and my english not so good. But I will learn from her impressions amd I will the best for feel my guest confortable at home.
