    We are looking for someone to look after our two daughters during our working hours (morning-lunch schedule from Monday to Friday, only the summer weeks where there is no school). It is fundamental for us that the children practice German! We need someone who enjoys children, shows motivation to play with them and entertain them with board games, crafts or ride bikes with them and go to the park. Lunch would sometimes be prepared by us but would have to be cooked on otherdays. Having fun cooking would therefore be very helpful. Part of their care also includes helping them tidy up clothes, toys, or whatever else got messed up during the day. On the other hand, we would ask you, as an additional family member, take part in the everyday tasks of the house during this time (such as helping with food preparation or cleaning the dishes). In the afternoons and weekends you could either take part in our activities or get to know Barcelona and the surrounding area on your own.
    =============
    Wir suchen jemanden, der sich während unserer Arbeitzeit um unsere beidenTöchter kümmert (Vormittags-Mittags-Tagesplan von Montag bis Freitag, nur die Sommerwochen wo es keine Schule gibt). Grundlegend is es für uns das die Kinder Deutsch üben! Wir brauchen weiterhin jemanden der Spaß an Kindern hat, Lust und Motivation zeigt, mit ihnen zu spielen und mit Brettspielen, Basteln zu unterhalten oder mit ihnen Fahrrad fährt und in den Park geht. Mittagessen wäre manschmal von uns vorbereitet und müsste aber an einigen Tagen gekocht werden. Spass an Kochen wäre deshalb sehr hilfreich. Zu ihrer Betreuung gehört es weiterhin auch, ihnen dabei zu helfen, Kleidung, Spielzeug oder was auch immer im Laufe des Tages durcheinander gebracht wurde, aufzuräumen. Andererseits bitten wir Sie darum in dieser Zeit als weiteres Familienmitglied an den alltäglichen Aufgaben des Hauses teilzunehmen, (wie z. B. bei der Essenszubereitung oder beim Abräumen des Geschirrs mitzuhelfen). Nachmittags und am Wochenden könntest Du entweder an unseren Aktivitäten teilnehmen oder auf eigen Faust Barcelona und Umgebung kennenlernen.
