Description
We're a little family of 2 looking for new friends. We're talkative, we love boardgames and family time, watching movies before sleep, picnics, nice cultural or scientific free or low-cost activities, animal and nature lovers, foodies, i like to think we're fun people.
We're interested in learning french, italian or japanese, so if you speak some of these languages and are interesed in a good family and a safety (not luxury) place, let me know!! We also speak spanish of course and we both are fluent in english and we like to learn from other cultures and languages, so everyone is accepted here, You are welcome to join us for all of our family activities and you can also explore on your own at your leisure. I will mainly need help walking my dogs in the morning and at night and a little help with cleaning around the house, nothing big, just sweeping and mopping, washing dishes, things like that. Helping with cooking will be highly accepted and babysittering someother time.
-------
I like to be clear about the place, is very basic but safe and you'll have your own bathroom and key.
-------
It is important that you know that we cannot host couples but we can host children in case you're a parent traveler. We can't either accommodate anyone who smokes for health reasons. The food that I offer you is very varied, just as we can eat things from the Middle East, we can also prepare the best tamales, so be sure that you will eat delicious, nutritious and varied. We want to try your favorite food too, so please share with us some of your country.

Help
I need you to walk my dogs for 1 hour in the morning and 30 minutes at night (extra points if you can train them a little bit), speak totally in English while you are at home, you can teach usabout your language as well, I will need help at home like sweeping, mopping, washing dishes and things like that. We are talking about 2.5 hours in the morning and 2 hours at night, the rest of the day you can explore the city on your own, we can organize a picnic, play board games, have a barbecue in the patio or watch a movie.
It could be that one day I need you to take care of my daughter and her cousins, but this is very rare.
