Help
We would like a person to help us with the children while I am at work, to take them to the extracurricular activities they have in the afternoons.
We would like our children to learn English. Olivia speaks English quite well, Nicolas understands but is not yet fluent. I would also like them to start having contact with different people so that they can get to know other cultures and other ways of thinking. The aim is that they learn to respect different people, the opportunity is to live with our family and help in some classes with our children.
