  Description

  Hello! We are a warm Chilean family of four living in Calgary, Canada, and we are excited to welcome a friendly Workawayer into our home.
  
  Our family:
  
  Mom (home most of the time with the baby)
  
  Dad (works full time and travels often)
  
  A sweet 2.5-year-old girl who goes to daycare
  
  A happy 9-month-old baby boy
  
  We live very close to downtown Calgary, right in front of a bus stop and only a 15-minute walk to the C-Train. There are many parks, cafés, river pathways, and tourist attractions nearby, so it’s a great location if you want to explore the city while staying with us.
  
  You will have your own spacious and comfortable private room so you can rest and feel at home.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  🌎 Cultural exchange in our Chilean home in Calgary
  
  Staying with us is much more than accommodation in Calgary — it’s a true, everyday cultural immersion inside a Chilean family adapting to life in Canada.
  
  🇨🇱 Chilean culture at home
  
  You’ll experience Chilean traditions in daily life:
  
  Homemade Chilean food and family-style meals
  
  Spanish spoken at home (great chance to practice!)
  
  Our music, expressions, humor, and way of sharing time together
  
  Stories about Chile, our customs, and how we built our life abroad
  
  🇨🇦 Life in Canada, from the inside
  
  At the same time, you’ll see what real Canadian life looks like for a newcomer family:
  
  How daily routines work here
  
  Public transport, parks, libraries, and community life
  
  Tips to settle in, find your way around, and understand the city
  
  Practice English in real-life situations
  
  👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Be part of our daily life
  
  We love including our Workawayer in:
  
  Family walks and outings
  
  Visits to parks and nearby attractions
  
  Simple daily activities with the kids
  
  Conversations, coffee time, and relaxed evenings at home
  
  You won’t feel like a guest — you’ll feel like part of the family.
  
  🌟 A two-way exchange
  
  We are genuinely curious about you, your country, your language, and your experiences. We love learning from the people who stay with us and sharing cultures both ways.
  
  If you’re looking for a warm, real, and meaningful cultural exchange — this is it.

  Help

  I am at home most of the time with the baby, and I need help mainly in the mornings. Your support would make a big difference in our daily routine.
  
  Tasks include:
  
  Helping with the baby (playing, entertaining, keeping him company)
  
  Light household help (tidying up toys, kitchen after meals, small daily tasks)
  
  Occasionally helping with simple meal prep
  
  Being an extra pair of hands during busy mornings
  
  This is not a cleaning job. It’s more about support, presence, and helping our home flow smoothly.
