Doubly vetted 1 reviewAbout us
We are a Chinese immigrant family who have lived here all our lives. Our family includes my daughter (16 years old), myself, and my husband who frequently travels between here and China.
Our house is spacious and comfortable, with four new bedrooms: one for my daughter, one for me, and two extra rooms available for guests. Each student will have their own private bedroom with a separate bathroom to ensure privacy and convenience.
We also have two pets—a cat and a dog. Our cat is a bit shy and prefers to keep away from strangers, but our dog is very friendly and loves to play with people.
Our home is clean, hygienic, and surprisingly luxurious. I will provide three nutritious meals every day, offering a great balance for those who want to stay healthy. Because of my work schedule, I leave early and return late, so unfortunately I won’t have much time to interact personally during the day. We also don’t usually have dinner together or organize family activities, as I keep my weight under control and my daughter is preparing for important exams.
Communication is mainly through WhatsApp groups, so if you have any questions or difficulties, you can message me anytime.
Our location is very convenient — just a 2-minute walk to the bus stop right outside the door, with the E1 bus running 24 hours a day.
We are a quiet family with no nightlife, no parties, no smoking, and no drinking. We hope you are also a girl who does not like nightlife, does not drink excessively, and can maintain a quiet environment. We do not accept any smokers, including smoking outdoors.
Since my daughter is focused on her studies and values a calm environment, I hope to welcome a girl who also appreciates peace and quiet.
My daughter is excited to make new friends and is looking forward to your arrival!
