Details
Description
I am a single mother with 4 chidren (17-15-12-8).
My ex-husband lives nearby and we all get along very well, so he will be often over for dinner and activities.
He is chinese, so my children speak or understand both mandarin and cantonese at different levels.
I am fluent in english, mandarin and cantonese (my tones aren't that good through!). My children all studied or are still studying Spanish and English, but they don't talk that much.
I am a teacher (guess what I teach!): we all love sports and practice at least one. Volleyball, swimming, gymnastics, skating, wingchun are our main activities during the year.
We are very indipendent, and used to other cultural backgrounds.
