Description
my name is Tonny, I have 2 kids, 8yrs and 5yrs. Both of them were born in Japan. Me and my wife were both born in China.
We want to provide a language practice environment for our kids in a more casual way, just talking to them, play with them, read books to them, instead of aiming for some test score.
My wife and I believe that language is much more of a tool, the more you use it, the better you can master it.

Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre
We live in the middle of Tokyo, about 1 mile away from Shinjuku Station which is the most visited station in the world every day. Extremely convenient access to any kind of power culture spot in Tokyo.
We're immigrants from China and had been living in Tokyo for nearly 20 years, so we can provide cultural insights into both China and Japan.

Aide
For our 8yrs old boy and 5yrs old boy, language practicing in English, story reading in English, game playing in English, and outdoor playing in English.
On working days, before 2 pm~3 pm, kids are in kindergarten and elementary school, only need to take care of them after 3 pm. Play with them in parks around the home, read books at home or in the library, or anywhere.
On the weekend, usually, we will go outdoors like hiking, theme park, camping, museum, etc. You are very welcome to join us and play with us together.
We prefer a native English speaker who also can speak little Japanese or Chinese, at least who is willing to learn some Japanese or Chinese to help the communication.
Since our two boys are not very good at English now and they need some time to build trust with the workawayer. We expect the workawayer will stay at least for one month. Anyone who can stay longer will be prioritized from the candidates. At the same time, anyone who had experience with teaching non-English speaking young kids will be prioritized.
Our two boys are learning piano, drum, swimming, painting, and soccer ball now, so guests with experience in babysitting, playing musical instruments, and being good at sports will be prioritized.
My wife and I have full-time jobs, so guests who can help with cooking(not need to be everyday) and do some light housework such as cleaning the house will be very thankful.
