When your child is studying far from home

When your child is thousands of miles away, it helps to know there’s a trusted adult nearby. I serve as a guardian for international students: someone who answers when they’re homesick or unwell, shows up for school meetings, and drives them to the store when they need something.

Some students live with my family as part of a homestay. Others simply need someone close by they can call. I stay in touch with the school, so small concerns get addressed early, and I keep you informed along the way.

Before your child arrives, we agree on what they need: guardianship, a homestay, school visits, help planning summer programs, or a combination.
