Description
Valentín (37s), Ana (37s), Kai (6) and Mawi (2) live in a 4000m2 terrain, in a small house made with maritime containers. We live in the heart of the wine making area in Mendoza, surrounded by the most famous wineries and lots of nature. We are also close to the mountains (Cacheuta, Potrerillos, etc.) but at the same time well connected to the city. We share our terrain with a family of 3 and lots of birds, specially hens and roosters, some cats and a dog (we used to have horses and small pigs, and they might be back soon). We enjoy nature, our trees, and sharing other children and animals. Valentín is an excellent cook. We are pescatarians. Valentín works in finance and Ana is a researcher in the environmental area. We love sharing with people from other cultures and show them ours. We have also lived in different parts of the world.

Help
We mainly need someone to play with our very active and happy 6 years old boy and our 2 yo girl. We may need some help feeding the animals or just giving a hand. We would like someone to speak English to our children. Someone with experience and feeling with children would be great. Our son loves sports, specially football and action, so we would need someone who enjoys running, climbing and jumping to play with him. Our daughter loves to role-play with dolls, and she is joyful and calmed.
We would also be happy to host people with gardening experience.
