  Dear Workawayers.

  I was grown up in a big family but my family is small, 4 of us including 2 cats.
  so I'm looking for someone who can spend with us like family.
  I've traveled a lot before and I love to meet people around the world.
  I'm open, social, love to discuss, curious, foody.
  
  My son is 8 yrs, talkative and friendly, book worm, nintendo freak.
  He likes being at home and spending his time mostly reading or playing switch or minecraft.
  
  2 adorable cats are sister and brother.
  I adapted them when they were new born.

  Help

  I want someone who can show my son what you're good at Ex, doing craft , compositing, singing , minecrafting, what ever you're good at.
  He is nintendo freak but I want to show him there's more to do.
  
  My son has just started to commune English immersion school and I want him to absorb English a little bit more outside of school I'm not expecting " English class" with paper works but want you to talk to him with easy understandable English and take care of his English homework and play with him. Ex, his school work (English), playing with him. (going for walk, playing switch, boad game etc.)
  
  I may ask you small House tasks, such as cleaning ,DIY depending on a time. but not that much basically.
  but more than that, I expect someone who like chatting and spending family time together.
  
  I want someone flexible since my work requires flexibility.
  if you want day off or few days trip, that's fine. I want you to enjoy traveling and I'm happy to hear the stories,
  when you want to go out night , that's fine , just be quiet after 21 pm please.
  
  Ideally I want someone who is ”Clean freak” and "Early bird".
  it's better if you have experience raising or spending time with kids.
  
  " A kid (or 2 kids) and a single parents"" would be the BEST.
