Help
We would like a person to help us with the children while I'm at work.
Due to Rafa's work he needs to improve his level of English and It is a very important language that I would like my children to learn. So the person who comes to stay with us will have to speak with my children and Rafa in English.
His level is good enough, he has an English job meetings, but he needs fluency and to improve his pronunciation. My children's level is low. Furthermore I want them to start to have contact with different people in order to know other cultures and other ways of thinking. The goal is that they learn to respect different people.The opportunity is to live in with our family and help out with some classes with our children.
