Description
We are a Belgian family living in a beautiful villa on the mountainside, overlooking the valley in Spain. My husband will be spending some time in Belgium for work, and I travel regularly for my job. During these periods, from Sunday evening until Tuesday evening, we need support caring for our two children, aged 11 and 13.
In exchange for your help, you will stay in our comfortable two-bedroom apartment, just below our home, with all utilities included. We are looking for someone responsible, caring, and independent, who enjoys being around children and can help make these days run smoothly.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Travellers will have the chance to immerse themselves in everyday family life in Spain, experiencing how a local family balances work, school, and home life. By helping with our children and pets, they will gain practical skills in childcare, responsibility, and household organization, while learning to interact and communicate with children of different ages.
They will also experience life in a peaceful, rural setting, with opportunities to explore the surrounding nature, enjoy local traditions, and appreciate the slower pace of life in the region. This placement offers a true cultural exchange, allowing travellers to understand Spanish family life, participate in daily routines, and enjoy a warm, welcoming environment — all while developing personal growth, empathy, and cross-cultural understanding.
