  Descripción

  I have two daughters, 9 and 6, and a son who is 14.
  
  I (Aaron) grew up in Spain and am a musician running a personal development and book company.
  
  Our home is a spacious 3000-square foot Victorian built in the late 1800's located in downtown New Glasgow. We have a great place for you to stay with your own entrance stairway and bathroom. We even have a craft room if you like art projects!
  
  We like to cook and make all our meals from scratch using organic products. As a family, we enjoy hiking, biking, and camping. We have many beaches nearby, and in the summer, we like to swim in the ocean. They say where we live has the warmest waters north of the Carolinas, 22 degrees all summer.
  
  We are very laid back and love to share our home with guests. We enjoy learning about other cultures, new languages, and sharing our life experiences, and hearing everyone's stories.

  Intercambio cultural y oportunidades de aprendizaje

  I love to help others in any way I can. I have accumulated a number of transferable skills, from gardening to personal development and starting online businesses. I have done a lot of the renovation work to our house and gained skills in that department too. I am a mentor at several universities and an advisor to numerous companies. I am happy, willing, and able to pass on any of my knowledge.

  Ayuda

  I am looking for someone who can help keep an eye on the kids, do some activities with the girls, and contribute to maintaining a tidy, clean space to live in. I often work from home and need time to focus on my work. The amount of work would vary but would be roughly four hours daily. During the school year, the children are at school until 3 pm. Getting them to school in the morning and picking them up in the afternoon would be greatly appreciated. We are lucky as school is just a short five-minute walk up the hill. Sometimes cooking an easy meal for the children would be great. My son is a gourmet chef in the making, so he is competent in the kitchen.

  Este anfitrión ofrece intercambio de idiomas
  I grew up in Spain, and I learned about a new culture beyond learning a new language. Since then, I am always eager to learn about the culture behind the language. That passion has rubbed off on my children.

  Algo más...

  There are a lot of nearby beaches and sights to visit. We have a local weekly market. Pubs, restaurants, a library, museum, and shopping are minutes away on foot. Right from the house, a beautiful walk along the river and biking trails are available. In the winter, you can snowshoe, cross country ski, and even downhill skiing and snowboarding are available at a nearby resort. We are 15mins away from the ferry to Prince Edward Island and en route to Cape Breton Island. We also enjoy the gym and swimming and have been known to provide our guests a membership.
