Description
We are a family of two, Nico and Nieves. Nico is 11. I am a little older... We have a dog, Cantón. And we live in a small place, Hontanares de Eresma, which is 10 kms from Segovia, the beautiful old town with the Román aqueduct. We are not far from Madrid either.
It is a calm place with lots of families and Kids. If you like nature, this is the place. And if you like art and culture, Madrid is an hour away.
We need mostly help with Nico, because sometimes I have meetings and dont want to leave him alone, and walking our dog.
We have a two-floor house with four bedrooms and a patio. You would have a single room with its own bathroom. And if you like workkng outside, perhaps you can help us arranging the outside.
For me, the most important is to spend time with Nico when I am not there, and perhaps help him with English practice.
Someone who speaks English and some Spanish would be ideal. Someone who likes belng outdoor, cycling, etc.
As for length of stay, better al least a month with us.

We could have dinner together and get to know each other more, try to speak English or Spanish if you want to learn it. Breakfast and lunch you could do on your own.
What else ...
In Hontanares the best things are the people and the paths to go walking or do sport, we are close to the Camino de Santiago and close to Guadarrama, nice for hillwalking.
Segovia has plenty of museums, Madrid is an hour away and has tons of things to offer. At the weekend we could go around and show you the area, either go hillwalking, go places, etc.
.Transport from Segovia to Madrid is very frequent. Transport from Hontanares to Segovia not so much, there are 5 buses a day, but for sure we can give you a lift.
We had an au pair last year and we had a good time with her!
