Description
We are a young family of six: Steven and Amber with our three children(11, 9 and 6) as well as Opa (Grandpa lives with us too!).
We live on a farm in a beautiful little community that is surrounded by nature! Here we raise Cows, sheep, rabbits and chickens.
Basically we are looking for a girl who is fluent in German and is interested in sharing their native language while hanging out with the kids, playing games or reading books ( all while speaking German with our super-sweet kids )
We are hoping to find someone who is patient with the kids and will give them confidence in speaking/answering back in German as they need some positive encouragement putting German sentences together.

Help
We are looking for a girl who's not afraid of the peace and quiet that comes with living in a rural country setting and is patient, creative and fun when hanging out with kids! We have games and books in German and would love to have someone who would play games, read books and to just speak German when they are with the kids to help immerse them and grow their German Language.

We have a large home that over looks our farm and hay fields and the distant Cariboo mountain range. You will have your own private bedroom with two windows and a bathroom on the lower level of the house. Please join us for breakfast, lunch and dinner as you are apart of our family :)
( We are also a gluten free home , and we are very familiar with preparing meals for people with food allergies)What else ...
Our farm is located in a nice quiet community where it has its own small grocery store, post office, library, and endless amounts of hiking trails and lakes to explore for the outdoor enthusiasts.
We are 65km from a larger city where there is more shopping and an airport. If you enjoy the country life and love the outdoors you must visit!
We are an easy-going farming family, (sometimes introverted) who wish to make your stay with us as comfortable as ever. When we are not busy farming (or university studies for me) we enjoy hanging out together on the lake with the boat/kayaks/paddle boards. Or bike riding, hiking, fishing, cross country skiing, snow shoeing and anything else that has to do with the outdoors!
Our children are currently learning the violin and ukulele (We love music in this house!)A little more information
