Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre
We were born in Brazil and the US, and lived in China for many years. We speak Chinese with our 5 year old. It's his first language. The 2 year old hasn't started speaking yet. Our cooking is a mix of Brazilian, Chinese, and western influences. We like having friends over for dinner.

We live nearby a few fantastic community centers which offer a variety of low cost classes for sports, education, yoga, etc. Also there are pools, libraries, and ice rinks nearby that have free access.

I was very lucky to have a chance to be with this special family before I leave Canada. I got a new perspective on life from amazing people.

At first I was quite nervous because it was my first time taking care of kids, but Ben and Thai were super easygoing and friendly that I felt like home very soon. I also thank Rung, the other amazing… read more

I volunteered at Ben and Thai's place on Nov24, initially planned for 3weeks and extended to 5weeks in the end. I was so grateful that they welcomed me with very short and fast communication when I had to arrive earlier than planned, even though they have another volunteer in the house at that time.

I love that Ben and Thai are both very easy… read more going and open minded person, they have been living in different countries in their life and ready to share their journeys and interesting life stories as American+Brazilian family. It was a very busy period when I arrived as Thai's family are visiting so we have 10 peoples living in the house the same period and the fact that they are not local grow up in Montreal, hence it was not always easy to catch them for casual chat and experience a local life, but they were very happy to share ideas to have fun around the city and share with me their roller skating equipments where I picked up very basic ice skating skill during my stay, we also visited some gay bar together just to have fun. It was fun to make memories together, the fantastic banana oat cake Thai baked for breakfast every morning was the first best thing I looked forward wake up everyday, and sometimes Thai's family will cook brazilian dishes to share with us while I will share some very limited dish I can cook.

The tasks were both very easy and enjoying for me, mainly spend time with Anton (and sometimes Sebastian), speak mandarin with him while taking him around (like send or pick him up from school and spend time in parks/musuems/library/bed time stories or any activities you get their permission to explore with Anton), also some light common sense household tasks like cooking/sweeping/mopping/loading washer/putting clothes to wash & fold etc. The working hours were roughly 5hours 5days a week, I have gotten great amount of time to explore the city, make new friends, picked up new skills and went some yoga sessions too. I shared the very comfortable double bed room with another volunteer, it was perfect we keep each other company in late night chats and ideas in exploring the city.

The only challenge was Ben and Thai was new host, when I arrived there was no structure around work, for eg work schedule for me to manage and expect my days etc. But it was all great after I raised the concern and with very easy communication we came out with a nice schedule & everything was just smooth. I also helped to develop some document for future volunteers reference to make things easier.

What I truly miss the most is Anton, he's such a cute smart and sweet kid, very impressive 3year old that speaks 4 languages, play very well ice hockey, and taught me a very cute French kid song (Bonjour les amis comment ça va) that I will always show off to every new French friend I meet. I will also always remember that day when we saw a cute puppy on the street and he learnt that I was upset when I lost my puppy years ago, he told me he will buy me a new puppy haha. It's definitely not the easiest thing to handle such a smart kid but anyone with passion and experience in taking care of kid will love him. I told Anton to visit me in Malaysia when he grow up, I hope he remembers!
Again, thank you for having me and made my memories in Montreal so sweet :)
