    Description

    Hi there,
    I live with my 5yo son in Köln Germany and am looking for some help to look after him. Köln is Germany's fourth biggest city an counts with a lot of interesting things to explore. We live in a quiet area but still very close to the centre, shops, cafes, uni etc. In Köln you can go everywhere by bike or public transport. Köln is a quite international city. I used to travel a lot and speak English and Spanish besides German and can help you to improve your German.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    There is a lot: language exchange meet ups, intercultural associations at the uni or in cafes. Köln is a very international place.
    As I used to travel a lot I enjoy meeting people from other countries. I can help you with your German of course and show you around. We can do activities together. If you like hiking I would be happy to invite you to go with me. I've also started dancing latin dances. There's a big latin dance community in Cologne which I've just started to explore and would be happy to show you.

    I am looking for a kind person to live with us and help me to look after my child when I have to work or want to go out. It will be mostly in the evenings or weekends as my son goes to Kindergarten during the day. My son speaks German and Spanish and understands a bit of Portuguese. If you speak Spanish or Portuguese this would be awesome for us to practice. It will be something between 10-15 hours per week.
