Description
Hi, I’m Ríona, I’m an Irish yoga teacher living in the north of Spain in a village just outside Santander. I’m a single parent to Three children aged 8, 5 and 18 months and I’m keen to find someone who can be an extra pair of hands over the busy summer months when the children are off school. Expect to be hands on for beach days, mountain walks, looking after the vegetable patch and general summer activities.
I have a considerably big garden to manage and I’m keen to find people who can bring their skills and knowledge to help me make the most of it. I also have ongoing minor diy jobs around the house such as painting, fixing things, reorganisation which I’d love to have help with.

We’re an Irish Spanish family and we’re all bilingual and we love languages. The children attend a Waldorf Steiner school and we’ve an amazing international community here. We do a lot of activities together such as picnics, beach dates, mountain hikes, pool dates.
We’re a vegetarian household and we love cooking. We also grow our own veg and always need help with the garden!

Help
I need someone for babysitting and general household help like cleaning up after mealtimes and getting everyone in and out of the house on a day to day basis. I need someone energetic and keen to play and have fun with the children. We speak English at home but the children are bilingual. There’s plenty of opportunity to pick up some Spanish around here too.

You will have a large double room with en-suite toilet on the upstairs floor of our house. There’s also a separate kitchen on that floor which you can use.

What else ...
We’re a low screen family and in the summer we don’t watch tv and I would expect people to not use their phones or tablets when with the children unless absolutely necessary.
