Beschreibung
We are a family of 5, our three girls are 17, 19 and 21 years old. The eldest and the middle one are studying at the University in The Netherlands, so they are not at home. We also have two dogs and two cats. We are a lively family and like having people around. Now that two of our girls are not permanently home any more, we are also looking for company as we are used to a full house. The girls are happy and open minded youngsters and love making new friends. You would immediately be part of the family.
My husband is English and I am German. As a family, we speak English, German and Spanish at home. We are looking for either a German native speaker or a French native speaker to improve those two languages. If you are a German native, the communication is at native level and we love to talk about everything. If you are a French native, the conversation is somewhat more basic (B1 level) and with me, as I am the one taking French classes. We are not expecting any structured lessons, but rather interesting and fun conversation at meal times or whenever there is an opportunity.
Your time would be divided between cooking the family meals (cook lunch and prepare dinner and keeping the kitchen tidy) and doing household chores/ garden work. Usually we all chip in with household chores but there is always some extra to be done. Lunch and dinner hours are fixed (lunch at 3pm, dinner at 8ish pm). Regarding the chores, you are flexible about the timing.
We would love to have somebody around who is happy to be part of a family. Although you have your own room and bathroom, we really look for somebody who likes chatting with everybody, playing games together (table tennis, pool, badminton, table football, cards, table top games, etc.) and generally hanging out with the family/ the girls (maybe baking cakes, watching a movie together, etc).
We live in a beautiful house with garden and pool in a village close to Valencia. There is a good metro connection to Valencia, within 30 minutes you are in the city centre. You would have plenty of time to go to Spanish Classes - or enjoy your free time. -

Arbeit
You would help to keep German alive in the family or help improve my French respectively through conversation, games and being part of the family. Meal times are fixed, but garden/ household chores can be done any time. We do look for somebody who likes spending time with us, however Ariana is in her last year of school, so does not have that much leisure time. We also like doing things together like going to the cinema, to Valencia or on excursions and you would be very welcome to join.

I had the great opportunity to stay with Ariana, Alicia, Amelie, Bettina and Patrick in a beautiful suburb of Valencia. Although it was a very spontaneous idea of mine to go to Spain for these four weeks in march 2022, everything worked out very well.

This was my first workaway and I couldn't have pictured it to be any better. I stayed with Bettina and her family for 4 weeks in March. From the first day on they were super welcoming and lovely.

First things first - I can highly recommend this family.
From the first moment on I felt very welcome in your family! You even supported me on the 'journey' towards you.

My stay with you, family, was wonderful. You are perfect hosts because you took care of me a lot and always been so lovely. You never caused any pressure on me doing my tasks. You just trusted me that I will take care of the girls (and dogs :wink:) and help a bit in the house. And of course I did it. I liked … read more
