Share moments and language skills with our family in Faaa, French Polynesia

  Descripción

  We are a French couple with two children, aged 8 and 6, living in Tahiti, French Polynesia, close to Papeete.
  We are a friendly, open-minded family who enjoys discovering new things and traveling.
  We are looking for a kind, friendly and open-minded woman whose native language is English, who would help us improve our English.
  
  Our main goal is for our children to become familiar with English and gradually learn to communicate in English through everyday conversations and fun activities.
  We would also love to improve our own English skills as adults.
  We are not looking for a babysitter or an au pair.
  
  We would love English to be the main language whenever we spend time together, especially during meals, games, outings and family activities. Of course, we can also speak French if you are interested in improving your French!
  
  We see this as a two-way exchange : we would love to discover your culture, traditions and food, and we will be delighted to introduce you to ours.
  
  We particularly appreciate people who naturally take the initiative to chat with the children, suggest games, ask them questions and involve them in conversations, without waiting for us to organise everything.
  
  We live in a comfortable home within a residential complex. We have an extra bedroom available for our guest, as well as a second bathroom that you can use privately.
  During school hours, our children attend school and we work too. You will therefore be completely free to enjoy your own activities, explore the island or make your own plans.
  When the children are not at school, I (Aurore) am not working and we would be happy to spend time together.
  
  We live in an amazing location, with a pontoon nearby where we can swim and observe tropical fish, rays and even harmless reef sharks. Dolphins can also be spotted in the surrounding waters.
  We also own a boat and regularly enjoy exploring this beautiful lagoon. We would enjoy taking you on boat trips and introduce you to some of our favourite places around the island.
  
  We enjoy sharing meals and would love to have you join us around the table. Your food will be your responsibility, but we will be very happy to share meals together. We can introduce you to our favourite dishes, and we would also love to discover some of your country's traditional recipes.
  
  As we will be sharing our home, we simply expect everyone to contribute to everyday life, respect each other and keep shared spaces clean and tidy.
  
  We live close to Papeete, so some places can be reached on foot or by bus.
  You are welcome to join us on some of our outings and trips around the island whenever possible. However, having your own vehicle would be good, as it would give you more freedom to explore Tahiti independently, especially when we are working or unavailable.
  
  Please note that we do not have Wi-Fi at home.
  However, it is easy to purchase a local SIM card with a mobile data plan for the duration of your stay, so you can stay connected and use the internet.
  
  We are looking for someone who is:
  - A female native English speaker.
  - Kind, caring, patient and respectful.
  - Open-minded and genuinely interested in discovering other cultures.
  - Sociable, outgoing and communicative.
  - Someone who enjoys spending time with children, playing games and involving them in conversations.
  
  We are looking for someone to stay with us for approximately one month to six weeks.
  If we all enjoy the experience and feel comfortable together, we would be happy to extend the stay, up to a maximum of three months.

  The main thing we are looking for is a genuine language and cultural exchange.
  
  We would like to share with you everyday moments with our family, especially with our two children aged 8 and 6, and help them become more familiar with English in a natural and enjoyable way.
  
  We would also love to practise our English with you as adults, exchange ideas and learn more about your country, culture and traditions.
  
  In return, we will be happy to share our French language, culture, cooking and everyday life in Tahiti. We can also introduce you to Polynesian food, local traditions and some of the most beautiful places on our island.
  
  We don't expect you to teach formal English lessons or look after the children. We will always be responsible for them. What matters most to us is that you enjoy communicating, sharing and naturally interacting with the whole family.
