Details

• 

  Description

  We live at Quebec city; a nice and old city with a lot of historic sites and nice views on st-lawrence river. Our home is at 15 minutes of the city center and we are also very close to parks and forest sites. Public transport, grocery stores, cinemas and restaurants available on foot. We are a little family in slow life mode. I have 2 daughters aged of 7 and 9. We do homeschooling since 3 years and we love it.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  In exchange, the traveller could learn french and learn about a new king of life rythm (homeschooling life). The traveller would have the opportunity to help the other teachers in forest school 3 days a week with kids (tuesday-wenesday-thursday), or just participate to the activities with them. Also, there are opportunities to meet people for the homeschooling community and meet some new friend during weekends and other days during the week (monday-friday).
  
  If the person is interessed about history, Quebec city is the best to learn. Museums, architecture, ancestral knowledge of the first nations, etc.

  Help

  We are looking for someone who would like to share moments for us to practice our english. I'm looking for someone who loves kids and would like to share activities with us. I don't really need a real teacher as checked on the list above. I would be very happy to welcome someone who is sociable, helpful, resourceful and respectful because we share a small space during the time we are together. The person will also be welcome to help the others teachers in the forest school 3 days a week with a group of 20 kids from homeschooling.
  
  It's important to tell you that I raise my children in co-parenting. The dad live at 5 minutes from my home. We have a squeezed schedule and it will be important to give you some more informations about this before the beginning of the project. I have a really good relationship with the dad and it could be an option to share moments with him and girls during his daycare weekends. He is open to welcome someone at his home too.

  Accommodation

  I live in a little apartment (4 1/2) and I have a private room to offer. We share the other spaces: kitchen, bathroom and living room. Wifi, dryer. I don't have television (only computer). I cook mostly vegetarian meal but sometimes I cook fish of chicken. I'm open to discover and share others types of meal.

  What else ...

  It will be our first experience with Workaway. It's all about learning and sharing moments with people from another country or region. It's very important for me to welcome someone who love kids and who want to have interactions with them. It's actually a school project to motivate them in their english learning and give them the taste to travel.
