  Description

  We are a 5 member family from Málaga, a great city in the south of Spain. Our family is formed by Toni (the father); Dori (the mother); and our 3 children, Noé and Bruno which are 8 and 6 years old and MAra which is only 4 year.
  
  Toni is 45 years old and Dori is 43. Toni is Chartered Accountant and work as CO of a company. Dori is first Maitre of catering services.
  
  Toni works from early in the morning and get home around 6 pm. Dori usually works from home and sometimes has to render some services as weddings etc... She usually works in the mornings. Toni can speak English and it is the language he uses for communicating with the children. Dori understands quite well English and has some basic knowledge. We hope this makes you feel better in case you do not understand something in Spanish. Anyway, we would like you to speak to us in Spanish so you will learn the language but speak in English to the children.
  
  Our older boy, Noé, is 8 years old, he loves animals, running, jumping and every out door activity. He also practices swimming and goes to music classes. We are planning to try also with climbing as it seems he likes it. He understands English quite well, so you should not have any problem to speak to him, although he will always answers in Spanish....
  
  Our younger boy, Bruno, is almost 6 years old and he loves playing, specially out doors. He also goes to swimming and music classes.
  
  We just had a baby girl called Mara 4 years old, she loves dancing and running.
  
  We also have two very friendly labrador dogs, 2 friendly cats, cobayas and Guinea pigs.
  
  Our idea is hosting you as a member of our family, like an older sister for our kids. We would like them to see you as the older sister with whom they can have fun and also someone to trust in and that is friendly and sweet with them. We also ask you to speak to them in English as we want them to get used to the language. Regarding to your tasks at home we will specilly ask you to take care of the kids, taking them out doors, preparing their bags, etc... being this the most important thing. Homework will be mainly made by us.
  
  Regarding to our house, we live in a house in Málaga almost in front of the beach. This area is plenty of fish restaurants, pubs etc, and also 20 minutes by bus to the city center, which bus stop is in front of our house. There are also language schools near by and the neoghbourhood is quiet and pleasant, specially in winter.
  
  The house is a paired house with 2 terraces, small swimming pool, garage, 6 rooms, 2 bathrooms, 2 toilets, living room and kitchen. You would have your own room and toilet and sometimes you would have to share shower with foreign students that we host from time to time. We all sleep in the same room as we did not get yet our kids out to a different room/bed. When weather is nice, which it is very often, we use a lot the terraces, either for eating or playing.
  
  During weekends we like going out with the children and make activities with them.
  
  We are looking forward to hearing from you and answer as many questions as you may have.
  
  Kind regards
  Dori and Toni
