  Description

  We are a Catalan family of three plus one cat & one dog (notice that). We are native from Barcelona, the city where we live and we love to be part in community projects. Our girl is 2y and we live in a flat. Me (Ale) I do have a poor English but my partner can't say a word, anyhow, we hope we are open and communicative enough.

  We read your profiles and it's important to have them complete, with clear photos and references At this point we don't accept people without references. We are antiracist and feminists, there's no bias for any reason (age, gender, sexual orientation, origin, appearance, etc). Feel free to ask anything you want.
  
  AWARE. We ask workawayers to have *****healthy habbits*****. Please: no smokers.
  
  Ideal workawayer:
  - Helper mood
  - A complete profile with description, photos and reference(s).
  - Available April, May and June in Barcelona
  - Sweet respect to pets & children & all
  - Ability to have an independent life (clean, stay clean, cook, manage your own resources, save water &electricity, --maybe: have a mobile phone, some money, clothes, toothbrush... the basics).

  Room for one person NON SMOKERS (very important not to smoke at any place near us). You will stay in a room in our family flat (we will live together), sharing kitchen, toilet, living room.
  We have washing machine&shower, but Catalonia has water restrictions.
  WIFI at the flat.
  
  The food we offer/eat: mainly grain (bread, rice, pasta, cereals) with vegetables and fruit. Vegetal protein (beans, lentils, gabanzo). Other possible protein: eggs, milk & yogurt. We eat little meat and almost never fresh fish, maybe three times per week.

  What else ...

  We are a family of a toddler, and we do have basics routines we need to follow (meal timing, rest, bath&sleep routine). That means that we don't have a lot of time for travel around with you far from the neighborhood. But we can share this kind of basic family live, sharing our community projects and experiences, if you feel like. We can do place recommendations and help with logistical information.
  
  The place we live is l'Eixample District, la Nova Esquerra Eixample quarter. We have internet, but you won't have internet at your place. Smoking is absolutely forbidden due to we have a girl moving around the flats. We have a dogs that will be "working" with us. It's very calm and old, but a little smelly (hehe). We also have a cat that won't be "working" with us. Our girl will be around, also.
  We can ONLY get in touch by whatsapp, not phone calls.
