Description
We are a happy, healthy and grateful family of four living on 30 acres 1.5 hours west of Toronto. With a 4 yr old boy and a 7 yr old girl life is fun and busy. My husband and best friend since 14 is an engineer, I manage a museum. We spend a lot of time outdoors, working and playing. We love swimming and snowmobiling, working on the property constantly, and wandering through the forest. Life is good. We eat very healthy and are optimistic people who enjoy travelling and being home just as much.

Projects involving children

Help
We need help getting the kids onto the bus in the morning, and being there for when they get off the bus in the afternoon. If you love kids, and playing with kids, this is for you. The kids speak German ok, but their best chance for learning is when you are playing with them.
The kids and I speak German, daddy is Canadian and speaks English. The kids speak and understand everything, but would benefit from more exposure, especially with someone who enjoys playing as the form to teach. I would love someone to join our family that is full of fun, bubbly, and not tied to their cell phone.
