Description
We are a family with 2 kids (8 and 14) living in a beautiful Riehen area close to Basel city center. We have moved from Russia 11 years ago and speak Russian, English or German. During a busy period from end of Aug we would appreciate support with the household and kids activities. We are looking for a German, French, English, Italian or Japanese native speakers (based on our kids interests).
Basel is a heart and sole of contemporary art and a university city. Its closeness to France and Germany and a great social mix in the population makes it an attractive place to experience not only as a tourist, but as a local too.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
The cultural offer in Basel is exceptional and it is also well connected to rest of Switzerland and other countries too. If you are an art lover, interested in history, science or music, or just love to experiment, Basel is a place to stay. Basel is also within 1-2 hours (by train) away from the mountains of Jura or Alps, which offers endless opportunities for hiking. We can arrange your schedule in away that you get advantage of this too.
We have moved to Basel 12 years ago from Russia and can also share our perspectives and experiences on integration too.
