    Description

    Hello!
    We are a family with three children, aged 11, 8 and 2.
    Carles and Laia run a home in a magical place in the mountains. We have some animals, a wonderful dog, a wild cat, a very friendly goat, a hamster and some chickens that give us delicious eggs.
    We try to keep a small vegetable garden going between all the daily chores. We have fruit trees that have gone wild because we have little time to take care of them.

    Our home is a house located in a valley with sea views. With one and a half hectares of land. We run on solar panels and well water. For us it is a dream to occupy this place. We are 50 minutes from Sitges, a well-known coastal town and 1:30 hour from Barcelona.
    We are looking for someone who can help us with the care of our children a few hours a week. And with the care of work at home.
    Cooking (if you like), chopping wood, gardening, animals... It is essential for us that you like children.

    We like to host people in our home. We have two options to offer you. A room of your own with a bathroom (preferable), or a beautiful motorhome that we value very much. For this second option you have to fit the profile.

    You could also camp or set up your camper if you wish. We are open to sharing with you the time that you decide to come.
    A hug!

    ¡Hola!
    Somos una familia con tres hijos, de 11,8 y 2 años.
    Carles y Laia sostenemos un hogar en un lugar mágico en la montaña. Tenemos algunos animales, una maravillosa perra, una salvaje gata, una cabra muy simpática, un hámster y unas gallinas que nos regalan huevos buenísimos.
    Intentamos mantener un pequeño huerto en marcha entre todos los quehaceres diarios. Tenemos árboles frutales que se han vuelto salvajes por nuestro poco tiempo para cuidarles.

    Nuestro hogar es una casa situada en un valle con vistas al mar. Con una hectárea y media de terreno. Funcionamos con placas solares y agua de pozo. Para nosotros es un sueño ocupar este lugar. Estamos a 50 minutos de Sitges, un conocido pueblo costero y a 1 hora y media de Barcelona.
    Buscamos alguien que nos pueda ayudar con el cuidado de nuestros hijos algunas horas a la semana. Y con el cuidado de trabajo en la casa.
    Cocinar (si te gusta), Cortar leña, huerto, animales, rehacer muros de piedra…Es imprescindible para nosotros que te gusten los niños.

    Nos gusta acoger personas en casa. Tenemos dos opciones para ofrecerte. Una habitación propia con baño (preferible) , o una preciosa autocaravana que valoramos mucho. Para esta segunda opción hay que encajar en el perfil.

    También podrías acampar o instalar tu camper si así lo deseas. Estamos abiertos a compartir contigo el tiempo que te animes a venir.
    ¡Un abrazo!
