Description
Our house is located in a rural town. We are busy parents. We need someone to look after our two kids, age 4 and 6, while we are busy working. As we work from home, both of our kids always disturbing us and we can't focus on our work.
So, we really need someone that loves children, or with teaching background, and can make learning fun for them. Preferably, I would like someone with a good standard of English.
Besides that, my kids like to play at outdoor and we have a garden. We also need someone to help in our garden.

Autres infos...
The centre is located in the rural town in Penang. Away from the main towns, this town does not have a nightlife as such, but you can visit some good 24-hour restaurants. Food and drinks are very cheap here, the local market is a short walk away and has many local foods to try.
The area is away from tourist destinations such as George Town and Batu Ferringhi, however these are easily reached by bus. There are many tourist and historical places to visit, we can help you while you are here.
So, this project is not for a volunteer who is looking for nightlife like in KL or Georgetown, but would be ideal for someone who would like to experience local life and help with children.

We stayed there for around 3 months and really enjoyed the time. The kids are much fun, the town is nice and quiet, and we also attended some interesting events (wedding, Chinese New Year) and got to know more about Chinese culture. We taught the children, played with them and watched movies with them. (We have photos and videos from the school in… read more

First of all, I would like to apologize to Beata because I had no chance to say a proper goodbye to her. The day she left, I rang calls to my mum many times but she didnt answer. I still felt unhappy no even give her a proper goodbye. I also didnt spend much time with her because of my two babies.
Anyway, Beata is very hardworking and nice.… read more

We spend 5 weeks in the school and it was a really strong experience. The way the school is runing is not easy to understand and really different than European schools, so you need time to adapt, but after a while it's just fun. Jess and her family are very nice and always take care of us like if we were guests. The place is quiet, but not so far… read more

We have had many volunteers in our center with most of them we have become very good friends. Our doors are always open for them. Because they were very open, understanding and communicative.

I've just spent 6 weeks with Nick and Jess. This is an ok post for couples and the under 30s. Jess is friendly but busy all the time but the rest of the staff were not very friendly and rarely, if ever, spoke to me. They were more interested in my cleaning skills than my teaching skills. I understand that they may now respond with all sorts of… read more

Fantastic place to volunteer and help out at. We have used workaway for several placements but this was by far our favourite. The owners give free tuition and day care to families in need whilst providing those who can pay a high standard of education and childcare. It's a great mix of trying to run a business and help the local community. We… read more
