— From Your Future Host Family in Wuxi
Dear Future Friend,

We don’t know your name yet—but we already feel the quiet excitement of meeting you one day. This letter is our way of reaching out, heart to heart, across cultures and continents.

Welcome to our home—before you’ve even arrived.

We are a family of four from Wuxi, a peaceful city where lakes meet modern life. We have a curious 3-year-old daughter who loves stories and songs, and a baby boy who visits us weekly with his bright laughter. As parents (50 and 40), we’ve built not just a stable life, but a home filled with warmth, patience, and hope for meaningful connections.

And now, we’re opening our door to you.

We’re looking for more than an English speaker—we’re looking for someone to become a sister to our daughter, a young spirit we’ll welcome as our “second daughter.” Someone who will laugh at silly jokes, sing bedtime rhymes, and walk hand-in-hand through the wetland park on golden afternoons.

We know this journey takes courage. Leaving your country, stepping into a new culture, becoming part of a family you’ve never met—it’s no small thing. But we promise: you won’t be alone. You’ll be seen, heard, and valued—not as help, but as family.

Here, you’ll have:

?A private room with heating, AC, and space to breathe
?Three meals a day, snacks, and freedom to cook your favorite flavors
?Time to rest: one full day off each week, plus an extra paid day every month
?Holidays during Lunar New Year and National Day, because your peace matters
?Chinese lessons, adventures across China, and a return flight after six months

But beyond all that, you’ll have something harder to measure:
?A place where your voice matters.
?A family who listens.
?And moments—quiet breakfasts, shared giggles, weekend trips—that turn into memories.

We don’t expect perfection. We expect presence. Kindness. Curiosity. The willingness to grow together.

So if you’re someone who believes in real connection—if you carry love for children and openness to new ways of living—we would be honored to welcome you.

Until we meet,
With warmth and hope,
Your future host family

The Role: Companionship with Care
Your main role is to spend quality time with our 3-year-old daughter—helping her grow up in a natural English-speaking environment.

You’ll:
?Spend 30 hours per week with her (excluding meals and sleep)
?Share meals, read stories, sing songs, and play together
?Take walks in the neighborhood or nearby Changguangxi Wetland Park
?Help her wind down for bedtime
?Tidy up after playtime (together with her)
?Keep your own space clean and organized
?We have a full-time housekeeper who handles cooking and general cleaning—so you will not be responsible for household chores.

This is not a job of tasks—it’s a relationship built on presence, kindness, and playful connection.

2. Special Requirements
We hope you:

?Are a native or fluent English speaker (from UK, US, Canada, Australia, etc.)
?Are cheerful, patient, and good with young children
?Have some experience with kids (formal or informal)
?Are non-smoker, in good health, and can provide:
?A recent health check report
?A criminal record clearance
?Are open to cultural exchange and building real family bonds

Your Private Room: A Home Within a Home
We offer a fully furnished private bedroom just for you:

Spacious and quiet, in a 2-year-old apartment
Equipped with:
?Comfortable bed, desk, chair, wardrobe
?Air conditioning and underfloor heating
?High-speed Wi-Fi
?Walk-in closet (private storage space)
?Shared bathroom with the daytime housekeeper (we use a separate one)
?This is your personal sanctuary—a place to rest, read, study Chinese, or simply enjoy your free time.

4. What We Hope For: More Than a Helper
We don’t just want someone who shows up—we want someone who connects.

We hope you:

?See yourself as part of the family—not just living with us, but growing with us
?Are eager to share your culture, language, and spirit
?Can encourage our daughter to speak English confidently
?Respect routines, but also bring your own joyful energy
?Treat this year not just as an adventure, but as a chance to build lasting bonds
Most of all, we hope you come with an open heart.
