    Description

    I'm looking again for some help. Thanks for contacting me.

    We are living in zürich in a nice Apartment in a really adorable area very close to the forsest. Very Close to the Heart of Zürich but in the Same time Close to the Nature.

    We are me and my twins Yahira and Olivier (9 Years old).

    to myself:
    I'm a scientist with a soul of a nomad who settled down for the children and I hate it to live alone. So im very happy to have some international inputs. :) I love to spend my time outside with my children. I love to show them our beautiful world. We love to mountainbike in the mountains and climbing.

    Children:
    Twice a loooot of energy. They are quite sporty and they love music. U can have fun with them but the boy is as well very demanding.

    You should teach your language to my children in a playful way I really want to get them in contact with languages. It doesnt matter which language you speak.

    Well, u can have a glimps how it is to raise twins as a single mom. I think something you can observe with me is also how to raise very, very self-confident children — or at least, that is my goal. At least, that was the feedback from many Workaway hosts. I do a lot of challenging activities with my children, and they move through the world very freely and independently. :)
