Help
We are preferably looking for someone that can speak Spanish or English at native level that wants to help us with the apartment (cleaning, vacuuming, dishwasher, windows, washing clothes, walking the dog, tidying up, etc).
You should also have experience taking care of children given that you will also entertain our children, while I'm cooking or working. It may be needed that you have to drop off / pick them up from school. You may also have to cook, do minor groceries, or prepare a snack.
Given that contact with children is part of the exchange, we require that you provide a criminal record certificate issued by your country's police and a passport check. It's also important that you have previous experience taking care of children.
We propose a flexible schedule, and are open to figure things out together according to each other's needs and activities.
Regarding the cleaning of the apartment, you decide on which hours/days adapt to your working schedule, we are very flexible as long as the apartment is clean and tidy. In this time frame, some options could be 2 days of the week, you take on a deep cleaning task, such as cleaning the fridge, the closets in the kitchen, windows, etc; another day you make a total clean of the apartment, and the remaining time will be flexible according to each other's needs.
In Denmark we have dinner quite early, at around 17.30. You are welcome to join us for dinner, or make your own later if you can't adapt to eat so early! We would also like to share the breakfast table with you but it's not a requirement. We normally are not home for lunch so you will have to make it yourself.
You should be able to make up games and play with the children, and we expect you to use your phone and computer on your free time.
You can work, study, relax or go out in your free time during the day, you also decide if you want to party but we expect you to be composed the next day as this is a family house.
Being a non-smoking person is a requirement.

Accommodation
We offer you a bedroom that has toys and clothes from our daughter in it. As the apartment is isolated there is no noise from outside. We will try to provide you with as many amenities as possible during your stay so that your experience is enriched by a comfortable stay. It is a 106 m2 new apartment with a great view of the City Hall and Tivoli games and equipped with a dishwasher, microwave, washing machine, and dryer.
The building has an elevator. You will be sharing the kitchen, dining room, living room and bathroom with us.
The neighborhood is surrounded by a large green area and canals that provide oxygen and peace. Less than 5 min walk to 2 metro stations and a bus. 10 min ride to the shopping mall and Tivoli. We are right next to the famous round dorm building Tietgenkollegium and close by two Universities so we are surrounded by young people.
What else ...
We live very close to a metro station and bus stop. It is quite easy to find jobs such as cleaning or delivering commercials that you can do in your free time. There are many cultural activities in Denmark and interesting castles and museums to visit.
