Description
Hello, We are a family of 5. My husband and I, my 7 year old daughter and my baby son who is 6 months old. My mother in law lives with us. We lived in UK for a year. We live in ECR, a 7 min walk will take you to a beach. You can bike and the place is close to Mahabalipuram where you can enjoy activities like surfing and the works. You will have your room with attached bathroom in this 3 bhk flat. You will have high speed Internet and we can teach you Indian cooking. You will be helping us with cooking, teaching my 7 year old kid with her subjects or if you can teach her musical instrument or dance and any other help with baby. You can explore the city by bus and the place is en route to pondicherry.
Types of help and learning opportunities
Babysitting and creative play
General Maintenance
Help around the house
Language practice
Teaching
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We could teach you South Indian cooking, Indian history. I have also done my masters in the UK and very passionate about research. I can also teach you some basics about social media marketing and tips to improve your business. My daughter speaks only English and it could help you improve your English. Chennai is a great place to explore and lots of expats enjoy living in this region.
Help
I am mainly looking for help with the baby and our 7 year old daughter. If you have any particular skills or languages to teach her. I am also currently learning German, so knowing German would be an added advantage.

My baby stays with me all the time, whilst my husband goes to work. I have help with cooking and cleaning so I wouldn't require it from you.
Languages spoken
English: Fluent
Tamil: Fluent
Accommodation
You will be staying in the bedroom with an attached bathroom. We live in a building with 4 flats. The room will be perfect for 1 person, a squeeze for a couple. We mainly cook Indian food, occasionally pasta or noodles.
What else ...
You can bike, take a walk as this area is not too populated like the heart of the city. The traffic is also less. You can drive to Mahabalipuram and pondicherry. The beach is very close. There are quite a few restaurants and lots of activities if you take a bus to the city.

We found Anne to be a smart person with good judgement. She has a very a active lifestyle, always ready to help with everything from cooking to cleaning, all on her own initiative.
