  Description

  Hi. I am a single mother with two daughters 5 and 8 years old. We live in Menorca, Spain. We have a cat and a dog with us. In general, with father of the girls, we split one week each other. But sometimes we mix the days. We live in a village located near the sea, 15 minutes walking. It has buses to go to other cities or other beaches. Menorca is a small island, so is everything small, but everything very nice. Beautiful beaches and a lot of culture.

  Accommodation

  The workawayer will stay in the house with us three, and pets. He will have a private room for himself. The kitchen is one, he can cook what he will need, or when he will be with children I'll leave something prepared.

  What else ...

  When he will have time off he can visit island, beaches, do sports. It is a small island but with a lot of things to do.
  We live in a house between other houses, near a golf park and near woods. I take 15 minutes walking to the nearest beach, or 40 to the next beach. 5 minutes walking until local market or restaurants. To nearest city we have to take bus, 10 minutes or 25 minutes to the biggest city/capital.
  I normally walk dog 3 times per day, feed him twice. Cat is self service. Children are very nice, they don't look TV often. I prefer if they play or paint or write, or read.
