  Help

  We have hosted someone as a workaway for the last two years and the experience has been wonderful. We need an English-speaking girl, preferably native, to take care of the children 4-5 hours a day, Monday to Friday. You will have to talk to them in English, play in English, etc. in the afternoon. Also join us in extracurricular activities. The rest of the time you will be free to do what you want. You don't have to do household chores, except help with basic tasks that the rest of us do (tidy up your room, your bathroom, set and clear the table, etc.).
