  Description

  Hey everyone! My name is Manoela (Manu) and I live in the Serra Gaúcha region with my 10-month-old daughter Anastasia . Our region is beautiful and perfect for those seeking a connection with nature! Our space is very well located in the center of the small town of Morro Reuter And from here you'll have access to various types of culture. Don't be surprised if people on the street speak a German dialect. This is a small town of 6,000 inhabitants, colonized by German immigrants. We are the national capital of lavender, and here you will find all kinds of lavender products.
  
  We are close to cities like Gramado and Canela, an hour's drive from the capital Porto Alegre, and two hours from the nearest beach.You can explore waterfalls, practice paragliding, go cycling, hike on trails; there's no shortage of adventure options in the region.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  I work in finance and I want to improve my English, which I consider "subtle" haha
  
  With Ana, my routine is to come home from work, pick her up from school, and then take her for a walk downtown.
  On these tours we can practice languages and exchange experiences, and get to know the small city center.
  
  On weekends, we can explore the countryside and its beautiful nature, with waterfalls, trails, and its inhabitants who often speak only a German dialect 😅
  
  At the end of the year, the city transforms with beautiful Christmas decorations, and every day there are performances and artistic interventions by local artists.

  Help

  The search is basically for someone to practice English and help with household chores.
  I work outside the home for 6 hours a day and my daughter is at school during that time, so you will be free to do your tasks at your own pace.
  
  It's not hard or difficult; you'll help with cleaning and have the opportunity to introduce us to your favorite dishes by preparing dinner on some days.
  
  All tasks will require 4 hours per day.

  Accommodation

  Our apartment is spacious, with 3 bedrooms, 2 of which are available.
  It's located on the top floor of a 3-story building; there's no elevator, only stairs.
  
  We're not vegan, but if you are, you're invited to teach us new dishes to include in our daily lives.
  Meals are provided (two meals a day) at our expense, and we can discuss the details via video call before you arrive. The tasks won't take more than 4 hours a day, so we can agree on a division of time or something like that.
