  Description

  We are Wouter and Nikki (both 33 y/o) and we moved from Holland to Portugal last march, together with our kids Sophia (5 y/o) and Joa (1 y/o). And let's not forget about our dog Bas (labrador) and our cats Karel and Harrie.
  We bought a house in Leziria, Monte Redondo, at the Portuguese Silvercoast in which we have an A.L.
  Besides that we both have a parttime job working from home for companies in Holland.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  We live near the beautiful silvercoast beaches in Portugal, where you can enjoy the watersports and take hikes or bikerides. The town we live in is small, but provides in nearly everything you need and the people are warm and welcoming.
  Since we are Dutch ourselves and just moved here a few weeks ago, we are still learning and visiting all Portuguese habits and places ourselves.

  Help

  Since we both are busy with working for the Dutch companies as well as working for the A.L. (and maintaining everything around the house), we are looking for someone to help us on the private 'everyday to do list'.
  Sophia is going to school in Portugal every workday from 9:00h till 15:30h.
  For Joa we have not yet found a crèche or other place to stay during our workdays. We love having him around, but it is not very efficient for us and kind of boring for him to be around us while we are working.
  Because of that, we are looking for someone to help out with Joa, play with him, help a little bit around the house when Joa is taking a nap or maybe even walk the dog when you want to.
