Language exchange with a warm and open minded family in Tarifa, Spain

  Description

  Hello!
  We are a friendly family living near the beautiful beaches of Tarifa in southern Spain – right where the Mediterranean meets the Atlantic, with stunning views across to Morocco.
  
  We have a large private house and would love a helping hand with general cleaning and keeping things tidy. In the summer months, especially July and August, we often have friends and sports-loving guests visiting us – it’s a lively, social time with kitesurfing, beach days, and shared meals. A bit of extra support around the house is always appreciated.
  
  We also have two daughters, aged 11 and 17, who are learning English. If you feel comfortable chatting with them in English now and then, that would be lovely – though not your main task.
  
  We don’t have pets, and you’ll have your own private room, Wi-Fi, and everything you need to feel at home.
  
  We’re looking for someone warm, reliable, and easygoing who enjoys nature, beach life, and being part of a relaxed family atmosphere.
  
  The help with housework is just day-to-day support and part of everyday family life – not a primary task, but something that fits naturally into the daily routine. We only ask for help at our main home, not in any other locations.
  
  The help we are asking for is strictly related to our private household – such as general maintenance, keeping things tidy, cleaning tasks, or occasionally supporting our children with English in a relaxed setting. It does not involve any help with paying guests or events.
  
  We look forward to welcoming you into our little world here in Tarifa!

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  We’re a warm and open-minded family who loves meeting people from different cultures. While our schedule can get quite busy at times, we’re happy to include you in our everyday life whenever possible—whether that’s a chat over coffee, a walk on the beach, or sharing a meal together.
  
  We can offer you insights into Spanish culture and life in Tarifa, and we’re always eager to learn about other perspectives and stories. We value a relaxed and respectful exchange, without any pressure or fixed routines.
  
  And of course, there are plenty of opportunities to enjoy all kinds of watersports here!

  Help

  As a Workawayer with us, your main task will be helping with house tasks – cleaning, tidying, and keeping our private home in good shape. Especially during the summer months (mainly July and August, September), we host kite and sports gatherings with friends and guests from around the world. It can get quite busy, so it’s important that you're hands-on and not afraid of practical help.
  
  If you enjoy spending time with kids, you’re also welcome to chat in English with our two daughters (ages 11 and 17) – they love practicing! But this is completely optional and not your main responsibility.
  
  If you have experience in education, that's a lovely bonus – but again, absolutely not required.
  
  Our home is just minutes from the stunning Tarifa beach, one of Europe’s top spots for surfing and kitesurfing. It’s a great place to relax, enjoy nature, or try out a new sport. You’ll also have the chance to improve your Spanish by immersing yourself in the local culture and daily life.
  
  We're looking for someone friendly, motivated, and ready to get involved – we look forward to welcoming you into our everyday life here in beautiful southern Spain! 🌞🌊

  Accommodation

  You’ll have your own private room with a comfortable bed, Wi-Fi, and everything you need for a relaxed and secure stay.
  
  As for meals, you're welcome to join us from time to time when we're home, but we’re often quite busy or out during the day. You’ll have full access to the kitchen, so you can prepare your own food independently. We like to keep things flexible and easygoing!
  
  We will provide food for you to cook your own meals whenever you like. Often, we also cook and you're of course welcome to join us for shared meals when we do.

  What else ...

  In your free time, you can enjoy the beach, try surfing, explore Tarifa’s old town, or take day trips to nearby areas. There are buses and shared rides available, and we’re happy to give you tips!
  
  We live a relaxed but respectful lifestyle—keep shared spaces tidy, be mindful of quiet times, and just communicate openly. Other than that, we keep things simple and positive!
