    Description

    Hi we are new here And we would love to receive our volunteeer in ANDALUCIAN LINARES HOME
    A peaceful and relaxing home in an inner town Linares suburb with easy access to the sights of Jaen. Very close to downtown, Lake and 1,5 to the beach. There is a bus stop 5 minuts from the front door and a train station a 20 min short walk away that is only a few stops to Madrid.

    My home is a ‘No smoking, No drug and No alcohol’ home. (If you smoke you can smoke outside.)

    We are a professional, community minded mid 30's mother and 27 father we naturally gravitate towards people who are open-hearted, generous of spirit and self aware.

    Mother Radka: Most of the people I surround myself with are making a positive difference in the world or are on a spiritual or personal growth journey of some kind.

    I value heart felt, emotionally intimate connections with friends and associates.

    I enjoy people. I love going out listening to music, theatre and dancing. I am fit, eat healthily and appreciate being outdoors in nature.

    If you think you can make a positive contribution in our home and that we have some things in common then please get in touch - I would love to hear from you.

    Please make an initial enquiry by email and...

    (a) State what skills and experience you have;
    (b) State how you believe you can assist us through the Workaway exchange;
    (c) State the date you would like to arrive and the length of time you would like to stay.

    Please leave a way for me to contact you on whatsapp, skype, Spanish phone number or whatever contact method you are comfortable.

    We need help with the house as painting and easy things :)

    Also you can play with our little child if you love children. We Will consider you as a part of our family / or flatmates.

    We need help on the house at least 3 hours / day. Max 5 hours.

    Also play with our child, play with her inside of our home and develop new skills , to take her outside for a walk and enjoy the fresh air for both of you and develop new skills.

    Swipping and moping the floor every day preferebly in the evening 🌃 while our child is sleeping 🥰💓 or some mornings if We are outside with our child , wash the dishes every day, Let the sink clean and dry , clean all the tables and working desks , clean the dust once a week, clean a Windows once a month, vacuum chairs once a week, clean the fridge and microwave once every 14 days.
    You will be main person who will clean and tidy up the house 🏠 you have to do it Automatically 😜🐱 without telling you what to do .You should be prepared for it and be consistent of it. We are very sensitive about it .

    We enjoy cooking so it means I will love to cook for you . So I will need maybe a list of the things that you do not eat . If you do not put it on the list then you should eat it please . I do not like to throw and waste any food . If you will cook than we enjoy if you cook as well for us 😉 we would like to share lunch and dinner 🥗 🥣 with you and also enjoy a restaurants if you are economically available to pay for yourself as we are not rich family to invite you every time that we go ;)
    There must be good communication between us. It's very important for us to discuss every day foods and also discuss how much you can buy of your things to fill the fridge as we need the space for our things too.
    .

    We prefer if you can eat outside of our home or with us. We do not really like when you are doing a meal just for yourself and eat it just by yourself or you take it outside I am sorry to tell that. As I mentioned I like to share and cook for you then you help us to tidy up.

    It's not vacation You must know that ! You should work 5 days a week , you will work at home more then us . You must know that . During the days off you still must keep the house tidy ! It's must ;) generally the dishes and the sink. Sometimes the floor if it need because of the insects at our house.

    If we go with a car 🚗 then you should maybe pay half of the trip
