  Description

  Hello workawayers!
  Mom is a traveler at heart and a former workawayer. Dad studied philosophy and now travels around the U.S. for work. We met during the pandemic swiping right, fell in love, and got a rescue dog. We got pregnant and got married. Baby is turning two in August and our chiweenie (chihuahua/dachshund mix) dog is 10+ years old.
  
  We just moved to Las Vegas from San Diego, California. We're gonna miss the beach and the breeze but we are excited to become a local and explore what the local scene has to offer. We left California for a better quality of life and to grow our little family.
  
  We are looking forward to sharing our home and cultures.

  Looking for someone to teach me French for little ones! We love Mimi Soleil on youtube. I would like to improve my baby vocabulary. I am an intermediate speaker and need some advice/practice so I can teach my one year-old. I have an AA degree in French. I can teach Spanish to your littles. I'm a native speaker. We would love to start a French book collection for Olivia. If you have any used French children's books or if you can buy your favorite books from when you were a child to share, we will happily reimburse the cost of these.
