Description
Hi!
We'd love to have a female french or italian worker, for one month (and then we'll see). Ready to speak that language with us 3 all day long :) We're eager to learn both!
We’re a family of 3. My name is Akane and I’m a teacher in a public high school. Ivet is 12 and Nàdia 9. We're bilingual Spanish/Catalan, and I want my kids to speak other languages. They speak now quite good English, so now we're going into others: Ivet is interested in Italian, and Nadia in French. And I'm studying swedish.
To achieve a certain level of english we have been living with au pairs/workers for many years, from USA, Canada, Ireland, UK, Germany, Italy... And they'll be forever members of our family.
We live in a beautiful house, surrounded by a garden, outside Benicassim, at the very beginning of the mountains
We are allways in need of help, because the house is big and the garden huge. I have a problem on my back so I'm unable to do basic thing at the garden like pruning or using the rake to pick up the falling leaves.
So our worker duties will include:
- be with Nadia, my youngest daugther, and speak french with her.
- help around the garden and some help in the house.
We need to be comfortable with the workawayer and we'll appreciate her to be nice and kind, someone who can bring great vibes and the right energy to our place. We offer accomodation in one of the rooms, the only bathroom will be shared. We can have dinner together, and for the rest of the meals, our worker is free to manage her schedule.
There's a good wifi connection.
Our house is in the forest, at the bottom of a amazing natural park called Desierto de las Palmas. We can go hiking and enjoy the silence and the birds, find mushrooms and see how almond trees get full of flowers. It's 10 minutes walking to Benicàssim center, and 10 minutes biking to beautiful beaches. We have 3 cats, but they live on the garden and they can't come into the house.Types of help and learning opportunities
Language practiceGardeningDIY and building projectsBabysitting and creative playHelp around the houseGeneral MaintenanceCultural exchange and learning opportunities
We are used to live with au pairs from different: USA, Canada, Germany, Ireland, UK... and so we're in a constant cultural/linguistic interchange.
We will of course help them in everything we can, that's for sure. And we'll suggest and include you in as many opportunities as we can to get involved in our culture, festivities, gastronomy, traditions, language, big paella on Sunday... My sister lives in Valencia and they have a lovely french worker. So a friend is already done!
And remember, I'm a teacher! I love to teach :)Projects involving children
