Description
Hello everyone!
My name is Julia and my son's name is Max. He is 6 years old. We have recently moved from Saint-Petersburg to a small village surrounded by mountains in 4 km from the Black Sea, Shebetovka.
We need a person(better a girl) to spend 3-4 hours a day with our son while I'm working (from home) or doing household duties.
It's better if you speak English or French fluently to speak with Max.
He understands everything you say in English and he can compose simple phrases. And he also can understand pretty good french and it's our great desire to teach him this beautiful language, but my level is only elementary in it now.
You can stay here for a period of 1 to 3 weeks.
You'll definitely have plenty of time to enjoy the sea and the mountains.
Please, be aware, that travelling to Russia requires visa and you need some amount of time to do it!

When I arrived in Russia I was supposed to spend with this beautiful family just 2/3 weeks, but in the end I stayed with Julia, Max and Slava an entire month and if it wasn’t for some commitments already planned I would have spent with my greatest pleasure even more time with them. Max is simply adorable. He is so smart, generous, and lovely.… read more

During my stay, he was not yet four years old, but he could already read! So we red books together, we played with a ball and also went outside on the playground. He is a really nice and open… read more

I had a wonderful time in St. Petersburg with Julia and her family- Max is such a lovely, smiley little boy and a delight to spend time with. Julia was very helpful, she would tell me where to go in St. Petersburg and help me to learn some Russian; she was always fun to spend time with and full of interesting information. It really is very easy… read more

Julia and her family are extremely hospitable and kind people. During a couple of weeks of volunteering in St Petersburg she made sure that I visit some of the most beautiful places in this city while helping her. She also showed a lot of care and helped me with the paperwork related to visa when I came. It was a pleasure to stay with Julia and… read more

I really don't like to write negative feedback, but Sofia promised to come and I planned my time acoording to her visit dates and now she doesn't ask to my messages, although it's already time for her to be here. I refused to some other volunteers (willing to come during this period) and now feeling sorry for having done it.
