We live in Granada, a beautiful city with lots of things to do. We live 5 minutes walking from the metro station Armilla, it takes 15 min to get to the city centre. You can also take the bus which is in front of our house.
It is an ideal city to improve your Spanish and to learn about our culture and delicious gastronom.

Help
The help needed is basically look after the little boy talking to him always in English even if he speaks in Spanish, cooking, cleaning and doing the laundry. Someone who knows how to do all those things will be ideal, who is clean and tidy too.
The help will be based on what it is required in the house at the time.
Our child loves playing with LEGO, going to the park and painting.
We want to spend a great time with the person who comes here so it is really important to be honest about what you think and if there is some problem talk to us so we can fix and live comfortable.
We prefer people who will stay for long periods.
Sometimes we work so we are not at home at lunch but you can cook your own food using everything in the kitchen. Feel free to make your own food, breakfast, lunch and dinner.
