We are an active family of four who is looking for a new family member to join us as of summer 2017. In our family we also have two cats and two rabbits.
I'm (Anna) Swedish, but have lived in Switzerland for 11 years. Marco is Swiss. Our family language is German (Swss German and High German). Girl speaks Swedish and English in addition to German and Swiss German. She will also start learning French. Boy speaks Swiss German and German. He understands some Swedish but is not yet fluent. Marco is at the same level ;-) Both me and Marco are proficient in English.
We both work full time, but do organize ourselves to minimize the time we are way from the children. Marco is a cotton trader, working in Winterthur (5 minutes from home). He is travelling on a regular basis, but is usually never away longer than a week. I'm Academic Dean at Business School in Zurich. I also travel on a regular basis.
We live in Winterthur, close to Zurich (20 minutes by train). Winterthur is the 6th largest city in Switzerland with a population of approx. 108'000. We live in a twin house with garden close to the city center (5 minutes by bicycle, 10 by foot). Around the corner we have the forest in which we enjoy spending time and agricultural land. The location is ideal, you get the best of two worlds - it is the perfect place for an active life.
Girl will start 5th grade after the summer. Her school is located close by and she usually goes by kickboard or bicycle. She has classes in the morning and in the afternoon. She comes home for lunch. Boy will start Kindergarten in August. He will be away in the morning, coming home for lunch. One afternoon/week he has classes as well.
Both children are very active. Siri is a competitive swimmer and also plays soccer in a girls team. She practises five days a week. Henry will most probably also start a sports activity now as he starts Kindergarten. When not playing with his cars he enjoys riding his bicycle. Preferably through mud and difficult terrain... Marco and I both enjoy sports, when possible we go out running together.
