Description
Recently there are too many requests from workawayers. We will accept workawayers who'd like to host us in the future or do culture sharng with kids in the community or at school(around 30-45mins). Please mention it in the request so we can put you in the priority. We are a family of four. My husband and I have a son and a daughter. My husband is an engineer and I am an English and performing art teacher in a Junior high school. My kids go to schools during the daytime. We are looking for helpers to help with foreign languages practice, and basic housework. By the way, we only host female helpers. And I am an vegetarian.

If you are interested in early child care and exploring new places by yourself, it could be a great opportunity for you since you have plenty of time to travel around during the daytime or on the weekend, and interactive with our children at night. We can share different cuisines with you and teach you Chinese, too.

Help
Helpers help 2~3 hours a day, 5 days a week. (It's very flexible as long as you finish the task we ask.) Sometimes on the weekend, if you can help basic housework, we really appreciate it. We are looking for helpers who can get along with kids(6~12), be willing to share different cultures, help foreign languages practice (especially English) and help with basic housework, such as hang the clothes, do the dishes, vaccum and mop the floor. We welcome female helpers and maybe host a family.
