Details
Description
Our family includes two children, Layla who is 16 and Sahar, who is 14, as well as our giant and gentle dog Bamba. We live in the Northern Beaches of Sydney, which is about 40 minutes from the Sydney CBD but there are plenty of shops and cafes only a few minutes from the house. We are located only about 50m from the beach and there is an ocean view from our house. We enjoy taking Bamba for walks or a swim at the beach, playing sports such as soccer and table-tennis, playing music and also playing Backgammon. Originally from Israel, we now live in Australia and love to travel around during the school holidays.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
You would get to enjoy an outdoor lifestyle with a close access to the beach. We love being close to nature which is reflected in our home. The kids are both creative and active, so we would love travelers to get involved and become a part of our family, joining in with activities, adventures and trips. We like to try new foods and would love to try dishes from different cultures and we can share some of our own Israeli dishes too. You would also have lots of free time where you could explore Sydney and its surroundings.
Projects involving children

Help
The main thing we are looking for is someone to be around after school with the children to help with homework and to cook an evening meal. It would be good if this could include music practice, or language practice (we love to learn about new languages and cultures!). We also need some help with household chores like cleaning and doing the laundry each week and sometimes general help with small projects around the house.
