Description

We're an Australian family of 5 traveling the world to explore and widen our experiences. We found living in Australia, whilst multicultural, can also be a bit of a bubble and wished to expose our kids to different cultures, languages and lifestyles. Plus the parents had the travel bug and the kids have to tag along. We love embracing new experiences but are also pretty happy playing lego or playdoh on the table for hours.

Jad is the Dad of the family - always up for having fun and learning new skills. He'll tinker away with his enthousiastic mini-helpers happily all day. He loves travelling and family so exploring the world together makes his day. He is an Architectural Draftsman working part-time for himself so has the flexibility to work wherever and whenever according to what else is happening with his family.

Steph is the Mum - the background planner and organiser. She's the one grabbing sunscreen and toys, holding a toddler and cooking dinner on the stove at the same time. As an introvert, she loves to listen and learn. She's trying to teach the kids how to be kind to themselves and the world, one hair-pulling fight at a time.

Isabelle is 6 years old but going on 13 years with equal parts sass and wisdom. She's a great helper in caring for her rambunctious brothers but also tends to be in the middle of the daring acrobatics. She loves drawing and writing stories.

Zavier is a cheeky 4 year old filled with energy. His happy place is eating chocolate cake and playing lego, especially if he can make any vehicle.

Eli as the youngest at age 2 is growing up too fast. He wants to do everything his siblings do and isn't scared of much. He adores animals and scaring his parents in climbing up high on playgrounds.

More details about your skills

Jad is a keen handyman and gardener though he rarely had time for this prior to travelling so he'd love to work on something with his hands. He tinkered with installing new shelves in his laundry, plastering in his house, landscaped in his garden and build the backyard fence. He's an Aussie so he also enjoys mucking around on the sports field (squash especially) or watching a good game of cricket. As a draftsman, he is excellent with communicating with customers. He enjoys teaching his daughter through her online school and thrives on making it fun for everyone whilst learning.

Steph tends to be pottering around in the background - cooking, cleaning and organising after the family. She also helps teaches the kids and tries to vary the activities with pinterest-inspired crafts though they rarely look pinterest perfect. She's passionate about basic healthcare and believes in arming others with knowledge. She's happiest with a baby on her hip and music on the background.

We are both fluent in English and can teach up to primary school level. We love working with children and animals.
