  Description

  We are a family of 4. Tiago is Portuguese, Sarah-Jane is Irish and we have two children ages 3 and 9 months.
  
  Tiago studied classical guitar in Spain and is now working during the day in his family business as a tailor but keeps the music alive with his band with Sarah-Jane (Hot Air Balloon) and instrumental band; Indigo.
  
  Sarah-Jane studied, worked and lived in Spain for 11 years and moved to Portugal just before having her first born.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  We live in a lovely neighbourhood 20minutes walk from the oldest city in Portugal, this vibrant city was the European capital of culture a few years back. There is lots to do and see here and we are only 30 minutes drive to the coast and 40 minutes to the border with Galicia, Spain.

  Help

  We would like someone for the first two weeks of august to take care of our little ones while I (SJ) work. I teach English online to kids and work from home but need our kids to be fed and taken care of while I work. The normal working hours are between 11-14.30, but I could possible do some extra hours if I had some help which could extend my working time from 9.30 to 14.45.
