Description
We are a family. Pao is a psychologist, and Os is a systems engineer who works from home. We actively participate with other platforms because we love cultural exchange and want our children to meet people from all over the world. We have a 4-year-old girl who is full of energy; she loves to dance, climb trees, ride her bike, and draw. Additionally, we have a 7-year-old boy who is very calm; he enjoys playing with Lego, Minecraft, and going out to play with his friends.
We are looking for someone who can help us take care of them in the afternoons, preferably someone who will speak English with them so that they can learn and practice the language.
We live in Cholula (Puebla), inside a gated community on the outskirts of the city, right next to a golf club. It's a very peaceful place. Just a few minutes away, you'll find shopping malls, restaurants, museums, and pyramids (the largest in all of America!) among many other places. You can use our bicycle to go out and explore. Additionally, we are also just a few minutes away from the Zapotecas hill, perfect for hiking or mountain biking.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
You will be an additional member of the family, so you'll get to know a typical Mexican family. You can have all your meals with us, or if you prefer, you can eat privately during your breaks. A bicycle will be at your disposal for exploring and getting to know the city. Additionally, we often socialize with friends and go to shopping malls, amusement parks, etc., and you are welcome to join us to continue discovering Mexico.

Help
We need help taking care of the children. This includes helping them with their homework, getting them ready, helping them get in and out of the car, going out for walks to the park, playing, talking to them about your country and your customs, teaching them English, accompanying them in activities like celebrations or outings with friends, etc. In short, everything that involves being with children during the afternoon, from the time they get out of school (usually at 3:00 PM until 7:00 PM) from Monday to Friday. Additionally, every two weeks (Saturday), you will need to cook something typical from your country, so that the children can get to know and learn from you.
Languages spoken
Spanish: Fluent
English: Beginner
Accommodation
The house has a basement: a game room and TV area, Os's office, and a small room with a door that will be your bedroom. This room has a closet, nightstand, single bed, clean quilts, pillows, and a night lamp.
On the first floor, you'll find: the living room, dining room, kitchen, pantry, laundry room, reception area, and a full bathroom that you can use.
On the second floor, there is: a small TV room, 3 bedrooms, and 2 full bathrooms.
At the back, there is a small garden.
We will provide you with meals, and you can take what you need from the pantry.
What else ...
The area is perfect for walking and cycling. In addition, you can also visit the pyramids of Cholula and the church located on top of the pyramid; it's a magical place with a beautiful view of the entire city. Cholula hosts various celebrations throughout the year (fairs, markets, exchanges, cultural events, and much more), so you will always find something fun to do here. A little further away (thirty minutes by car) is Puebla, with various interesting areas to visit such as the forts (military constructions from the 1800s), many museums, a cultural center, and a plethora of activities.
Cholula has a small-town atmosphere but has 100,000 residents, while Puebla has a more modern vibe and has 1.5 million residents.
