Description
We are a family of five living in beautiful Funchal, Madeira: a Polish mom, an Italian dad, and our three children, Aleksander (9), Sofia (6), and Dante (1).
As a multilingual family, our children speak Polish, Italian, and English, and our oldest also speaks Portuguese. Meeting people from different cultures is very important to us, as we want our children to learn new languages, skills, and perspectives through genuine connections.
We love sharing our family life and welcoming guests who enjoy cultural exchange and spending time with children. We live in an amazing place on Madeira Island, surrounded by ocean views, mountains, and beautiful levada walks, with plenty of opportunities to explore nature and experience island life.
We are looking for someone kind, responsible, and energetic to help us with the children. In exchange, we offer accommodation in a private single room, meals, and a salary.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We see hosting as a true cultural exchange. As part of our family, Workawayers will have the opportunity to experience everyday life in a multicultural home, practice languages (Polish, Italian, English, and Portuguese), and learn about our different traditions and cultures.
We enjoy spending time together, sharing meals, exploring Madeira, and including Workawayers in family activities so they feel welcomed and part of the family. In return, we love learning about our guests' cultures, languages, experiences, and skills, and we hope our children can benefit from these connections as well.
We believe the best part of hosting is the exchange of ideas, knowledge, and friendships that both hosts and guests take away from the experience.

We usually share meals as part of the family, and we see this as an important part of the cultural exchange. Workawayers can expect to join us for breakfast, lunch, or dinner depending on the day and our routine.
In line with the Workaway exchange, we provide 3 meals a day in return for up to 25 hours of help per week, with 2 full days off. When we are not eating together, we can also provide ingredients or make arrangements so Workawayers can prepare their own meals comfortably.
