Program Details
In the family, German and Chinese are spoken mixed, but usually more Chinese than German -- unless we have visitors from Europe at the moment -- for example from you. Since we already have a nanny, around-the-clock care is not necessary. There is pocket money, though. The ideal candidate would already have some knowledge of Chinese; this is not absolutely necessary. We live a bit outside the city (about 35 minutes by subway), so we have quite a bit of space, including a garden with vegetables. If someone would like to bring a child of a similar age (3-5), they are welcome to do so. As for the start date, we are relatively flexible.
Activities & Shift
It varies, but you can of course participate in all of our excursions.
Rules
A non-smoker would certainly be preferable.
