Welcome to my house. Our house is in Xiangtan located beside a famous scenic spot . This town is surrounded by mountains, lush jungles, bamboos, and vast rice fields.

In the bamboo harvest season, we have a bamboo forest in the mountains where we can teach you how to identify and dig up bamboo shoots. During the tea picking season, we can also instruct you on how to pick tea leaves. There is also a fishpond at my home. You can go catch fish or go fishing there.

There is a bus stop right outside my door, and we also have an electric scooter at home. You can ride to nearby scenic spots like Zhaoshan Mountain and the Xiangjiang River. We're not far from Changsha, the capital of Hunan Province. There's an intercity railway that can take you there directly, and my dad can send you to the intercity railway station. Changsha has a subway system, which makes it convenient to reach more scenic spots. A bit further away, you can also take the high - speed rail to Zhangjiajie (the filming location of Avatar) and have a few days of fun there.

We can pick you up at the train station. We provide a separate room, so you can enjoy your own private space. Facilities at home such as WIFI, washing machine and dryer are available for you to use. Meanwhile, we provide three meals a day and unlimited snacks. They are all cooked by my wonderful mother, who used to be a chef in a restaurant.

Activities & Shift

I am an electronic commerce operation, and uesed to be a TV show director. My husband is an engineer in Tiktok. We have a 5-year-old boy. We are very friendly.

I am looking for one volunteer to help teaching my boy, or do some housework. If you can teach play musical instruments (such as piano, ukulele), sports (such as tennis, basketball), painting or languages, you are the one we want. People who have full experience of taking care of chile are very welcome. When the child is not around, the work can be helping with some housework, such as cooking and washing dishes.

The minimum stay is 7 days. Working 4 hours a day, you can get three meals a day and accommodation in return. At present, we don't have many students.

At the same time, we have an idea to open an English tutoring center (both online and offline), which is currently in the preparation stage and there are no students yet. If it starts operating in the future, we may need you to teach classes to help children improve children's English speaking/listening/reading skills, and encourage interactive activities to stimulate children's interest and enthusiasm for learning. If it's offline class, you need to provide home tutoring. If you need to take the subway, the transportation time will be counted towards your working hours. Also, we will cover the subway fares.

Rules

Please note that we need volunteers who are serious and responsible for their work and abide by the time arrangements. Since we have lots of interaction with children, we prefer someone healthy. These three points are very important to us. Thank you for your understanding.
