    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    We are based in Lagos, Portugal which offers a modern and historic experience of the Portuguese cultural. We are very near the city center and bus routes and only 10 minutes walk to the beach. There is lots to do and explore in Lagos and surrounding areas. There are many beaches to explore, the famous old town and marina, active night life and beautiful hikes, forests and walks to enjoy. There’s also lots of sports opportunities around from surfing, paddle tennis, boating, sailing, running, cycling etc,

    20-25 hours a week help. Help prepping/making a couple of meals a day during the week. Help clean in the evenings (putting toys away together etc). Reading books in your home language to her at night. once a week, including laundry. ONLY speaking and singing with my daughter in your home language (NO ENGLISH) (as I would like her to pick up other languages and now is the time). Spending 20 hours a week with her- 3 mornings a week (3/4 hours per morning) going to the beach, pool or playing at home etc, driving or fetching her from school 2 days a week if needed. Baby sitting while she sleeps maybe once a week/every second week. My daughter has NO screen time so I’d ask you to please respect that i.e. no tv, phone or computers around her.
