  Help

  I need help with babysitting a 5-years old grandson. Noah is a very social child, he likes to spend time in nature, he loves to ride a bicycle and you can take him to swim or play near a small natural pool nearby. He is also very creative and talkative, speaks some English, you can draw, read books, create something with him.The area is surrounded with woods and is isolated from social life. But you will have a car on disposal, so you can also take him to the nearby town and spend time in a playground or by the river.
