Description
We have 5 children. 4 of them attending school. We usually have two students too who attend secondary school.
I’m a baker and I work from home.
My wife and I love spending time together and also with our children.
We are a Christian Family and we attend church every Sunday to a conservative Mennonite church.
We live in a beautiful country side area. Near the sea, cliffs walks, woods walk, etc.
we love hosting people and make them feel welcome however we want you to know that as we have 5 children and as the multicultural family that we are we can be very loud! specially the children.
If you are the kind of person who likes quietness and go to bed early and wake up late then we are not the right family for you.
we teach our children boundaries, love and respect but they are very happy and active children.
There is a lot of quietness in the morning until children get home from school at around 3pm
so you can always enjoy that quiet time at home.
We are very sociable people so you will have the opportunity to meet people from different parts of the world , cultures, and traditions.
