  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  We appreciate living in an environment fostering continuous learning. Our family is a relatively calm and quiet one. We are very fond of animals and nature, so we treat our cat Tiara as a member of the family. Our goals in life include good aesthetic experiences, harmonic family life and creating a place where we may truly feel being at home.

  Help

  I am working full time, and basically needs help maintaining the house, garden. It would wonderful bonus to have some help with little Adam who is 7 years old. He loves playing outside when he is not in the school, thus he would be very grateful if a grown up were eager to play with him!
  We do have a garden but it needs to be taken care of. There is an overall plan of how we want to create a dedicated place for vegetables, fruits and herbs. However this has become a bit overwhelming to keep up with. . This year we hope to plant much more and to make the garden a beautiful place to spend time.
