我的家人有4个(A more common way of saying it would be 我的家庭成员有四名):爸爸、妈妈 、妹妹和我。 我爸叫纳撒尼尔,四十三岁,是技工。 妈妈叫卡洛琳,四十一岁,是家庭主妇。 妹妹叫阿紮里亚,十一岁,是学生。我叫高迪。我今年十四岁。是学生。 我继姐叫西安,她二十岁。在西安的一家酒吧卖短饮 (I got this. Yet most people might not as cocktail isn't that popular in china),她赚了很多钱。每月来探望我们一或两次。(访问 sounds a bit too formal here. If it's just a family visit, I would use 探望 or, in less formal occasions, 每月来看我们一或两次。)
Comment: Well done! Chinese is a topic-based language. If the subject of the sentence is the same as that of its preceding ones, it's usually dropped to make sentence more succinct.

1. You should post it in the notes section where you can see better our corrections.
2. You don't need "my" for familial relations. They are clearly defined in terms of oneself.
3. Like in any language, you need to varied your sentences otherwise, it sounds contrite and not natural enough.
4. I think you are trying to say, "She likes a few shots in the bar".
5. 探问 is the most personal and intimate than the other forms.
