    Description

    Hello and Namaste!
    We are a family of 4 (with 2 children: 5 years old and the other 2 years old. Their behavior is good but They are playful, of course. They have a good heart and are sensitive) . We are open mind and easy going people. We live in Paterna, Valencia, Spain, and we would like a workawayer who would like to learn about Valencian culture and play with my children in English!
    We lead a simple life, dedicated to the children. They attend school Monday through Friday, which is 5 minutes away from home. Some afternoons, they have extracurricular classes, also close to home.
    Monday through Friday: The children wake up at approximately 8 a.m. and start school at 9 a.m. They leave school around 4:30 p.m. They have dinner around 8 p.m. and go to bed around 9 p.m.
    We love doing hiking, to natural parks, cultural activities with children, dancing,visit museums... whatever comes up to break the routine..

    Hola somos una familia de 4, tenemos 2 hijos (uno de 5 años y otro de 2 años), vivimos en Valencia España y deseamos contar con una voluntaria que desee conocer la cultura valenciana y jugar con mis niños en inglés.
    Tenemos una vida sencilla, dedicada a los niños, ellos van al colegio de lunes a viernes que esta a 5 minutos de casa. Algunas tardes tienen alguna clase extraescolar, también cerca de casa.
    De Lunes a Viernes: Los niños se levantan a las 8am aproximadamente y entran al colegio a las 9am. Salen del colegio sobre las 16.30pm. Cenan sobre 8pm y a las 9pm aproximadamente a la cama.
    Los fines de semana solemos salir a pasear, hacer senderismo, a parques naturales, actividades culturales con niños, bailes, museos... lo que surja para salir de la rutina. Nos gustaría que nuestro workawayer pudiera conocer de nuestra tierras y nuestras costumbres.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Valencia has unique landscapes, from the beach to the mountains. We love trekking, dancing, and yoga. The weather is always good in Valencia, so we often spend our weekends outdoors. March is the day for the famous Fallas festival, June is the day for San Juan, and in the summer we enjoy the day at the beach and in our club's pool. There's no doubt a good paella will never be missing. What we hope for from this exchange is for our children to hear the English language and share moments playing and learning about another culture.

    Valencia tiene unos paisajes especiales desde playa a montañas, nos encanta salir de trekking nos encanta bailar y hacer yoga. Siempre hay buen tiempo en Valencia, por lo que solemos pasar los fines de semana al aire libre. En marzo son las famosas fiestas de las fallas, en junio san Juan y en verano se disfruta el día en la playa y en la piscina de nuestro club. No cabe duda que una buena paella nunca faltará. Lo que esperamos de este intercambio es que nuestros niños escuchen el idioma ingles y compartir momentos jugando y conociendo otra cultura.

    We hope the person who comes will want to share and enjoy caring for our children, always speaking to them in English and telling them stories from their home country.
    Picking up the little one from school, playing with them at the park or at home, giving them a snack, and little else :)
    If the workawayer can't make it in the afternoon, they can fill in with light housework at another time. We're flexible with schedules; if the need arises, we can discuss it and organize everything together :)
    You could also explore the area of Valencia, and sourroundings by yourself or travelling with us some weekends but all this depends on you :)

    Deseamos que la persona que venga quiera compartir y disfrutar cuidando a nuestros niños y que les hable siempre en inglés y le cuente historias de su país de origen.
    Recoger al peque del cole, jugar con él en el parque o en casa, darle la merienda y poco mas :)
    Si algún día la workawayer no podría por la tarde se puede complementar con quehaceres del hogar sencillos en otro horario. Somos flexibles con los horarios, si surgiera la necesidad lo conversamos y nos organizamos todos :)

    Accommodation

    A room of our own in our apartment, in a building in a very quiet and family-friendly neighbourhood called Terramelar. Our apartment has two bathrooms and a large living room, as well as a balcony.

    We usually have breakfast around 8:30 a.m., lunch around 2:00 p.m., snack around 5:00 p.m., and dinner around 8:00 p.m. Guests can join us during these times or set their own meal times. Our meals are homemade and healthy: stews, soups, salads... we even have pizza days! My children are big eaters, so there's no shortage of food at home. If someone wants something special, we can do the shopping together and have whatever they prefer in the kitchen, of course. We have a carvery next door that's open Monday through Sunday!

    Solemos desayunar sobre 8.30am, comer sobre 14.00, merendar sobre 17.00 y cenar sobre 20.00. La persona que venga puede juntarse a nosotros en esos horarios o puede tener sus propios horarios de comida. Nuestras comidas son caseras y saludables: guisos, sopas, ensaladas... también hay dias de pizza! Mis hijos son unos glotones así que comida en casa no faltará. Si la persona come algo especial podemos hacer la compra juntos y tener en la cocina lo que ella o él prefieran por su puesto. Tenemos un charter al lado de casa que abre de lunes a domingo!
