Description
We are an international, open-minded family of 5:

Gert (57) DUTCH, Amanda (48) SPANISH/ENGLISH & we have 3 boys (18, 10 & 8). The eldest is currently studying abroad.

We are seeking someone able and capable of multi-tasking.

We now live high up on a hill of a village called JESUS with spectacular views to the old city and FORMENTERA. We are a five minute drive to the closest beach (S´Estanyol- CALA BONITA) and 15/20 mins from the airport. Our surroundings are nice and quiet. This is a peaceful area 10 minutes from Ibiza town centre.

We have 1 dog, a cat & some fish.

We try to live a healthy lifestyle, eating mainly organic, vegetarian food. Eggs are always from happy local chicken and we make efforts to buy local dairy products when possible.

We are always busy, trying to fit in sport wherever possible. Gert works in Real Estate & Amanda runs an environmental / social NGO. We are not into night-life ( despite our location!), but we do have a drink once in a while.

This time our exchange is a bit different - we changed house and have a very interesting deal to offer... contact us for further details ASAP.

Help
Hello there! We are looking for general help in the household, along with cooking and probably some childcare - we have 3 kids and we both work ... so imagine! Picking the kids from school OR taking them to extra-currilucar activities would be amazing too, as we provide you with a car - as long as you can prove you have had your licence for over 5 years.

We have Spanish, English & Dutch blood running through our veins but the little ones don´t know Dutch .... therefore would be great to find a Dutch helper if at all possible. We can always help out with English, Spanish or Dutch improvement.

As you can see in the pictures, this time round we can offer a complete Studio with its own kitchen & WC & bathroom. That is why the conditions are gonna vary slightly from what we usually offer.
