Description
hi there!
We are an open, playful family, willing to take you in as a member of our familly and to share life, talks, trips, friends, games, music, languages...and whatever will come out "naturally" during our time together.
We are a combined family of 2 mothers with a bunch of kids (5), 1 dog, 2 cats and a rabbit.
Some kids live with their dads during the week, and some go or come in the weekends.
In summertime it’s possible we are all together, then it will be a lot of fun!
The 2 youngest girls who are 11 years old will be needing the most attention, as we are running a cleaning business from home for rental homes.
Our little village at the seaside in south-west netherlands is very active and alive in summertime as it is very touristic, there will be lots going on here. And on the other hand we have the calming beach at only 2 minute walk.
We want to welcome people from all around the world. We love to discover other cultures.
* We ask for minimum stay of 2 weeks because you and our kids can get to know each other properly. But feel free to contact us about your stay with us!Types of help and learning opportunities
Language practiceAnimal CareBabysitting and creative playCreating/ Cooking family mealsHelp around the houseCultural exchange and learning opportunities
In general we enjoy a lot sharing with volunteers our daily life and passions (music, languages, cooking, painting, making stamps, sewing...)
We would like our kids to learn English or any other language, so if you are willing to play with them in English and invent/organise some games and activities they can learn new words through in a playful way, we will be very happy!Projects involving children
This project could involve children. For more information see our guidelines and tips here.
Help
We mostly need some help with the 2 girls (11) and also with some basic household stuff.
Every day tasks include being with the children, go to the beach with them, minding the cats from time to time :-), walk with the dog, preparing breakfast, cooking, spending some time every day trying to prevent the house from "exploding" with stuff everywhere, doing the washing-up, helping us with simple everyday house-tasks in and around the house.Languages
