    Description

    We are a 5 member family living in a big farm on a top of a mountain and have a fashion company .
    We are travellers & quite international .We grow our own food at home, all bio. Children go to school by bus to gernika everyday and are 3 = Maina : 13 Oiz: 11 and Aia ,6 year old.
    We are flexible , have changing timings and we like to meet new people.
    We need help in general with cleaning, arranging the house, cooking, taking care of the kids sometimes ( babysitting when we have work meetings or travels) and also of the animals ( dogs and chickens !)
    Here , we all work quite a lot but it s also to have the great pleasure to eat healthy everyday .
    We leave in an amazing surrounding ,we are in the middle of the mountains and 15 min from the beaches.

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    The whole aera of Urdaibai is about wonderfull beaches, and we are also with a lot of nice mountains around ( gorbeia, Amboto...) . The whole basque country coast is perfect for surfing and visiting nice villages ( Lekeitio,mundaka, bermeo....) and there is the great city of Bilbao 30 min away too. Better to have a car where we are...but we also go down ourselves everyday to work , so we can take you and after very easy with bus or train to travel in all Bizakaia. France is just 1:30 away too...( saint jean de luz, biarritz, bayonne, saint jean pied de port...where I m from.)
