    Description

    Hello, my name is Saki. I'm Japanese, and my husband is French. We have two daughters, ages 5 and 3. We live in Tokyo, 3 km from Tokyo Station. It's very nice and not too far from the city center. We're looking for someone who can speak French to my daughters. Living in Japan, it's not easy to learn French. We want to give our daughters more opportunities to speak French.

    Bonjour je m'appelle Saki. Je suis japonaise et mon mari est français. On a deux filles, 5 ans et 3 ans. On habite à Tokyo 3km de la gare du Tokyo, très sympa pas trop loin de la centre. On cherche quelqu'un qui pourrait parler avec mes filles en français. Comme on habite au Japon, ce n'est pas facile d'apprendre le français. On veut donner plus d'occasions de parler français à nos filles.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    I like to share Japanese culture. We can go explore the city together if you want. I have a certificate of teaching Japanese to foreigners. I can help you in your Japanese learning. And on weekends you can go out with us if you want. Usually we meet local or international friends, at the park for picnics, BBQs etc...

Je peux vous aider dans votre apprentissage de japonais. Et en weekend vous pouvez sortir avec nous si vous voulez. Normalement on rencontre des amis locaux ou internationaux, au parc pour faire des picnics, BBQ etc...

    Help

    We both work so if you could help us pick up the girls from school, help with meals, help with baths, play, read books, clean the apartment, do laundry etc... It would be 3-4 hours a day, 4-5 times a week. If possible we would also like to ask to watch the girls after they sleep so we can finally go out for a romantic dinner... Don't worry, it won't be every day :).

    On travaille tous les deux donc si vous pouviez nous aider pour chercher les filles à l'école, aider pendant les repas, aider pour le bain, jouer, lire les livres, nettoyer l'appartement, faire la lessive etc...Ce serait 3-4h par jours, 4-5 fois par semaine. Si possible on voudrait demander aussi de surveiller les filles après qu'elles dorment pour qu'on puisse finalement aller dîner en amoureux... Pas d'inquiétude, ce ne sera pas tout les jours :).
