Description
Hello there lovely people,
Family with two children (10 and 15 years old girl and boy)
We are all bilingual (Polish/English, the kids are native speakers) I work from home full time, I teach English.
We have two cats.
Our town is small with a lot of small but charming lakes and forests all around.
I have a road bike available for borrowing, also a car.
I would love to host a person who is interested in being a company for us and especially for my son, some conversation and homeschooling would be appreciated. As we all speak good English and also I can give some lessons to a volunteer so it would be beneficial for someone who’s looking for language improvement.
We leave in two floors apartment with a small garden,
separate bedroom available for a volunteer.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
The volunteer would benefit from English improvement as my kids are native speakers, they were born in the UK were I spent last 15 years. Also my son’s hobby is fishing and biking so I would appreciate a person who wants to know more about it and also share some knowledge with my son who just started his fishing adventure.
I do yoga, meditation on daily basis, also some jogg/walk together, autumn/winter dipping in a lake :))
My daughter will soon start her piano lessons, so any musical skill is a great benefit for us too.
We are chill and laid back most of the time. We appreciate no violent communication in our life.
We lead rather simple small town life. Slow and relaxed.
If you are up to go slow, feel the family life of a single Mum and for a while be a part of it you are very welcome 🤗

What else ...
We live close to MRU the system of underground tunnels built by Germans during the second WW. Local villages, swimming pool, lakes and woods. We also have a big TV with Netflix :) which we love watching with kids and friends. During the day I work 6-8h of teaching from home from my separate classroom so ideally the volunteer could take care of some house work, cooking healthy for kids or spending time with my son. I am totally relaxed person, can be spontaneous and chaotic but very positive :)
