Welcome to Ruby's Warm Family Home
We are a fun-loving family of 5 living in the northern part of London, UK. I, Ruby, am the mother of 3 lovely children, providing emotional support and taking care of everything within our family. I work from home as a Care Manager. Freddy, my partner and father of our children, works in the city as a legal reception officer, financial provider, disciplinarian, and family decision-maker. Our eldest son, Emilio, is 22 years old, loves soccer, was a footballer, and won numerous trophies and medals. He works in central London as a Quantity Surveyor. Our daughter, Desiree, is a medical university student who loves fun outings, reading, playing music, and enjoys watching movies at the local cinemas. Our youngest daughter, Courtney, is a secondary school student who loves architectural drawings, reading, cooking, and baking.
We like to be a host family because we value cultural exchange and the mutual benefits it brings. We look forward to welcoming guests into our home, as we believe it will offer a unique chance to share everyday life, learn from each other, and form meaningful cross-cultural connections. We're committed to creating a safe, friendly, and supportive environment, and we see this as a rewarding opportunity to both support a guest and broaden our own perspectives. During your stay, I am happy to discuss any local activities that you would like to encounter, and I am available to guide any guests to enjoy trips suitable to your unique wishes.
We do not offer the Total Immersion Guarantee, so there may be other students who speak the same language as you during the stay.
