Description
UPDATED: LOOKING FOR A VOLUNTEER IN BILBAO (June–September)
Please only contact us if you are available for a minimum stay of 1 month. Thank you!
Hello! We are currently looking preferably for a woman to accompany Sole, an 85-year-old retired Spanish teacher and widow, during her stay in Bilbao from mid-June to mid-September.
Sole is warm, curious, independent, and enjoys meeting people from different cultures. She is looking for companionship and some help with everyday tasks in exchange for accommodation and meals.
The help would include things such as:
* Writing down and reminding her about medical appointments
* Accompanying her on walks or nearby outings
* Helping with everyday administrative tasks (telephone company, bills, etc.)
* Helping with shopping
* Occasionally helping with small household tasks or repairs
* Sometimes spending time with her grandchildren (11-year-old twins)
Sole would especially enjoy sharing time with an English-speaking woman interested in a cultural and language exchange.
Important: The volunteer should have a good level of spoken and understood Spanish in order to communicate comfortably with Sole in daily life.
Accommodation is offered in a comfortable rented apartment in Bilbao with a private room for the volunteer. During the rest of the year, Sole lives in the center of beautiful Valencia.
If you are kind, responsible, communicative, and interested in cultural exchange and companionship, we would love to hear from you.

Accommodation
My flat is not very big, it has 3 bedrooms, bathroom and kitchen. It is in a very lively and central square in Valencia. It has very close bus and metro and also a train 15 minutes away. I have wifi and air conditioning. In the square where I live there is a municipal market with quality local products. Among the points of interest near this Market Square are the Torres de Quart and the IVAM, which are highly attractive to tourists. The botanical garden is also a highly recommended place.
