Description
WE ONLY ACCEPT WOMEN. If you are a men or a couple please do not apply.
Our life is centered on the education of our children. Our routines are organized for this purpose.
Mariana has a Master's in Nutrition Sciences and works with exposure to environmental pollutants.
Leonardo is a federal auditor and works on projects with the German Cooperation Agency (GIZ) using satellite photos to solve socio-environmental issues.
We have two adorable children, a girl aged 7 and a boy aged 4, who are the joy of the house.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Yes, the proposal is exactly that.
We work from home and our children are homeschooled. So that our guest will be integrated into a family that is known for its hospitality.
Both hosts work with social projects. For example, which deal with the diet of indigenous peoples in Brazil.
Help
We exchange accommodation and food for foreign language classes (English) for our daughter and babysitting our son.
Our daughter is 5 years old and the tasks would be chatting and playing with her. It is not necessary for the candidate to have previous experience with language education. But you have to love to stay with kids and be a funny/playful person.
We are looking for someone of any age who is a native speaker of English and is female. Candidates who speak little or no Portuguese are also welcome.

What else ...
We live in a very large area of environmental preservation, facing quiet beaches and close to the oldest village on the island.
The place itself is paradise. From here we can see the sun setting over the sea every day.
