    Description

    Hi, my name is Eva - a mom of 3, living in Ireland. My husband and I decided that we want to give our children a gift of languages and we raise them in multilingual environment. One of our “pet projects” is to teach our children Mandarin Chinese, although we don’t speak this language ourselves. We had numerous friends and paid tutors and educational organisations helping us in this, but right now we are looking for someone to live with us and speak to children solely in Chinese. You don’t have to be a qualified teacher but being good with kids is a massive plus. You will have a private room in our warm house not too far from Dublin and you are welcome to participate with us on our hikes, exploring Ireland. All meals (vegetarian/pescatarian - we eat fish) are provided and any other arrangements can be discussed.

    We are a mixed, modern Jewish family, who live around the world. The mom is an English teacher and can help you with your English skills, but we also speak Polish and Hebrew. We love exploring our environment and we often go for extended hikes and trips and would love to show you around. We love cooking at home and we can exchange recipes and tips. Most importantly we create the environment of warm and welcoming place, which you will call your home. Although we are new to this platform, we have years of experience in hosting people from around the world, both through websites and privately wherever in the world we had lived. By doing so we have made friends for life and we hope you will become one of them too!
