Description
Hello! We are Alberto, Vanesa, María and Jorge, a family from Cartagena, Spain.
Our two children are María, who is 6 years old, and Jorge, who is three and a half years old. We live in an apartment in the city centre. During the school year we usually follow a simple daily routine: we work in the mornings and the children go to school. In the afternoons, on some days, the kids have a few extracurricular activities.
Cartagena is a beautiful city with thousands of years of history. It is located by the sea, so there are many opportunities to enjoy water activities. The city is also surrounded by small hills and natural areas that are great for hiking. We live in the old town, very close to the Roman Forum and only about a 10-minute walk from the port.
As a family we love nature, sports and visiting new places. We enjoy spending time outdoors, exploring and learning about different cultures.
We speak English, and Alberto also speaks German.
We are a friendly and open-minded family and we enjoy meeting people from different countries and cultures. For us, this experience is not only about helping and travelling, but also about sharing everyday life, learning from each other and creating meaningful connections.
We would love our home to be a welcoming place where everyone feels comfortable, shares meals, conversations and experiences together.

Help
We look for help with the children to pick them up from school, take them to classes, spend time and play with them at home or at the park. And the most important, talk to them in English.
We love sharing time and being part of the family.

They made me feel welcome and included from the first second and I had so many beautiful moments with all of them.
Of course it wasn’t always easy, you can become a little overwhelmed when you live together with two little, very energetic children, but compared to all the funny and good things… read more
