Description
We're a Spanish family who are looking for a volunteer to play with our kids in English. I'm Maite, my husband is Roberto, our 11 years old daughter is Noa, and our 8 years old son is Biel. We have a dog, a puppy, a cat, a rabbit and a turtle (although pets are not allowed inside home, except for the turtle). My daughter loves arts and crafts, music, board games and gymnastics. My son loves lego, puzzles, board games and sports. At home we have a piano, a guitarre and an ukelele, in case you want to practice :P
We are from Vinaròs, a small city situated on the norh coast of the Valencian Community, where there are beautiful beaches, official language school to learn languages, free conversation groups in the adults school, several gyms, hospital, swimming pool,... you could find a lot of things to do here.
We' re both PE teachers working in a primary school. We love the nature, go to the beach, walk to the mountain, ride by bike, and play with our children. We usually eat healthy food, mediterranean diet (vegetables, meat, fish, rice, pasta,...) although sometimes we also bake cakes and chocolates.
3 aupairs stayed with us in the past, the last one was another workawayer some years ago, she stayed with us 4 months and it was a fantastic experience for the family. In 2018 we moved to the USA for 2 years. In 2020 we came back to Spain, during the school year 2020-21 an English teacher from the Phillipines lived with us for 9 months, we had great experiences, then again in 2021-22 another English teacher from the USA lived with us. We're glad to continue sharing our home for reciprocal learning.Types of help and learning opportunities
