  Description

  EDIT: Looking for someone for now till end of August.
  
  We are a family of 3, myself, my 8 year old daughter and my partner. I am a working mom and would love to invite someone to my home to help organize us. I would need help mostly with cleaning/organizing our 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom home as well as playing my daughter in the evenings and doing homework with her. This could involve taking her to the park, playing games or once in a while an overnight. We have a lovely home 45 minutes from Vancouver city, 5 minutes from the USA border (Seattle about 2.5 hours) and 5 minutes to 2 beautiful beaches. We love to ski and have a family cabin on a lake in the mountains with swimming pool, hot tub, billiards, hiking, etc. where we sometimes go on weekends, especially in the summer and we would love for you to join us.
  I have spent 20 years living overseas as a student, worker, backpacker and can speak 6 languages. You will fee very comfortable living with us.

  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  We live in one of the most beautiful cities in the world. We are 5 minutes from 2 beaches, close to Vancouver city, close to the USA for day trips. There is a bus close by that will take you to Vancouver, it’s quite convenient. I have lived all over the world as I travelled for 20 years, so I know how hard is it what you’re going through, the emotional challenges and excitement of being away from your home and experiencing a new culture.
  You will have the opportunity to explore the nature here, there are many Mountains for hiking and skiing, lakes for boating and swimming. It’s a nature-lovers paradise!

  Cet hôte propose un échange linguistique
  I LOVE learning languages! I did my PhD in Applied Linguistics, which is essentially second language learning. I picked up these languages through travelling and living in other countries. I was an English teacher in Asia, teaching ESL. I’ve learned these languages just like you will - living and working/studying in the host country. I can really help you to improve your English!
