    Description

    We are a family looking for an au pair with skills in taking care of little children and abilities in creating games and playing wit them. The main goal for us is that our children can learn english by playing and spending time with the au pair. We do not want the au pair to do any housework.

    We are a family from Catalonia (Spain), we live in a small village called Tornabous, in the province of Lleida. We've got two lovely children, aged 7 months and 2 and a half years. We live in a house with swimming pool and a large garden. We've got also some animals in the property (1 horse, 2 donkeys, hens, goats, geese, and ducks), and a dog. We live next to the grandparents and to our brother and sister in law. I am an ophthalmologist, and my wife is a science teacher in a secondary school. The village we live in is near to Lleida (capital city of our province, 30-40 min by car) and to Tàrrega (small city at 10 min by car), and is 1 hour and 15 min far from Barcelona by car. The au pair would get a payment for her task.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    We live pretty close to Barcelona (1h and 15 minutes by car).
    The au pair is expected to speak english with the children, but she could practice her spanish by talking to us (although at home our first language is catalan).

    We normally speak catalan at home, but we (parents) can speak spanish with the au pair if she wanted to improve her spanish. However, she would be expected to speak english with the children.

  • Accommodation

    Accommodation

    You would have her own bedroom with individual bed, wardrobe, and window. You would have her own bathroom.

    You would be expected to have meals with us, although you could have them whenever you'd like to. Logically, we would buy all the food.

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    If you've got a driving licence, you could borrow a car from us to go to any town or city close to us.

    We've got a golden rule with the children, which is not using any screen when being with them (no TV, no phone, no computer).
