    Hello! : )

    Sorry I don't have lots of photos at the moment, as soon as I can, I will upload lots!

    What I offer you: Food and accomodation, a bike you can use, a sweet home with a terrace, a dance room, and my friends xD

    I am Nadia : ),

    I live in the city of Toluca , Toluca is the capital of the State of Mexico : ).
    Did you know we have 3 Mexicos? I mean, we have Mexico the country, Mexico City, the capital of the country, and then we have next to Mexico city, a state, also called Mexico xD!

    Well, enough Mexico xD

    so,
    I live in Toluca with 4 kitties and 2 girl roomies n.n
    in September, October, November, and possibly December, I would like to attend my mom's wedding in England, and visit my boyfriend in Japan, therefore, I'm looking for a sweet volunteer to look after my kitties, home, and pretty much replace my dutties while I'm away n.n!

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    In my house, as I said earlier, live with two other girls, Conni, and Karen, both work full time, Conni is 31 and Karen 23. They are mostly away during the day but I sometimes chichat with them when they come back home from work. They are both very kind and friendly, if you are learning Spanish, I'm sure they would love to talk to you and learn about you. The other day Conni suggested we baked carrot cake together. They are both from outside the city, so about every other weekend they go back home to their hometowns.
    You'll surely have a lot of free time, in that time, depending what your goals are, you can use to study Spanish, for example, work on something, or just relax.
    The weather in these months is really nice in Toluca, we have lovely sunsets every single day, and you could enjoy them from the terrace. There's a park nearby where you could go play basketball and interact with people in the neighborhood. I could introduce you to some of my friends and if you get along, maybe you could hang out with them while your stay : ).

  • Help

    Help

    The help needed is the following:
    -Feed the kitties, water the plants, clean cat litters and the dust they make.
    -Get and prepare (when it runs out) the food for the cats, (Boiled chicken), they eat dry food mixed with some stew we make them.
    -Clean around the house when needed, for example, swipe, mop, clean the bathroom, dust, de-cathair the sofa (my roomies clean after themselves, and each of them, once a week, do house chores) bring the trash out.
    -Go pay the water bill (lovely 3 min walk)
    -Swipe the terrace, or beautify it beyond what it is already if you can : )
    -Take and upload a 1 min video of the cats to their Youtube channel from Monday to Friday :D!
