Description
FIRST OF ALL WE WANT TO APOLOGISE WITH ALL OF THOSE WHO HAVE WRITTEN TO US.
We have not responded nor had the profile updated in this past year of Covid but we have two good reasons: mummy was studying and we had the visit of a Workawayer for a whole year !!
Before all that we also had THE VISIT OF THREE OF OUR PAST WORKAWAYERS, Tamina, Marco and Kaisa ... plus we had the baby Bea which is now two.
So as you can see we have a lot of changes.
This is why I will update all our info and you can re-send us a mail if you want to join our family for some time !!!
So hey ! How are you ??! Come and join us !!
We started having workawayers already six years ago and we really enjoy the experience of sharing our daily life with people from different countries and cultures.
We are a young and active family with three children. Two boys aged seven and a half and nine years old and a baby girl of 2 years and half.
We love to have somebody from abroad at home because I had this experience when I was a child and I remember it lots of fun ! Also my mum ended having a very special relation with the Au pairs that came.
For now we have had several experiences with workawayers, already THIRTEEN of them living with us for we started with this some years ago as I said, and we are really happy with he idea of YOU coming to join our family !!
We would like the Workawayer to play with the children. Help us look after the day to day and SPECIALLY talk to them in English and making them talk so they can go slowly learning.
We are a very happy, very active family and we like to enjoy life. We will gladly show you many places in Spain and especially in Andalusia. Children are good and enjoy a lot playing with each other as you can see in the photos !
Types of help and learning opportunities
Language practice
Babysitting and creative play
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Around Malaga there is lots to see ! Beautiful cities such as Sevilla/ Granada / Córdoba but you can also get to Portugal or Morocco cause they are not far away at all.
The beaches in Almeria are absolutely amazing and so are the ones in Cadiz so we will gladly take you there for visiting .
We also travel regularly to Madrid cause granny lives there and you could very much join us !!
Projects involving children
This project could involve children. For more information see our guidelines and tips here.
Help
About our needs what we normally need is taking and picking the kids from school and sports and looking after them in the park in the afternoons or help with baths and dinners. In general an extra pair of hands.
So we would need help in the mornings to dress and take the boys to school which is a 15 min walk from home (this is at 9h ).
Then free time until around 15:30h when we would need the Workawayer to pick up the boys from school and take them to sports or pick up baby Bea from nursery and then play with them.
In the meantime we mum and dad also come home from work. After this they normally go to play with their friends and then we do for baths and dinners. But we would only need help for this some of the days. In total it will not be more that 5h a day ( MONDAY-THURSDAY ) and normally on Fridays you would only have to take the kids to school and afterwards you can have free time the rest of the day.
We would also need a night of babysitting in the weekends, normally Saturdays, but also leaving a whole weekend free every month for her/him to travel further away : ))
( WE WANT TO ADD THAT WE NORMALLY TAKE WORKAWAYERS THAT WANT TO JOIN US FOR AT LEAST 6-8 WEEKS. THE KIDS ARE STILL LITTLE FOR A LOT OF CHANGES. Thanks !! )

From the beginning on you made sure that I felt like a part of the family and highly encouraged me to explore Andalusia. Within almost 3 months I got a really good insight… read more
Unfortunately i could only stay for a month. Paula speaks perfect english and the boys understand the most i was saying. All of them are open-minded and will try to give you a great experience in Spain!
Even so she has been súper helpful and ready to adapt to all the changes we had to do !
At least we had the chance to try some vegan delicious meals.
It’s a real petty she couldn’t stay any longer.
Always welcome back !
