    Description

    I am a busy working mum English/Maltese with two great kids and a dog. My daughter is 13 and attends school locally. I am a publisher and an events organiser including an artisan market and food tours and my office is based at home. I have travelled extensively and lived in various countries and our family has a very International outlook on life. I am looking for a second pair of hands to assist me mainly in the home helping with cooking, cleaning and walking our dog and to dog sit our dog if we go away.

    A driver's license would be useful but not essential.

    I am presently looking for someone for the months of March and April.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    We live in the ancient Maritime city of Vittoriosa which is positioned on the Grand Harbour, a 7 minute ferry ride from the vibrant capital Valletta and a 10 minute walk to the superyacht marina and the Mediterranean sea where you can swim. We are an English speaking family so your English would improve greatly living with our family. We are surrounded by history living in the first Knights of Malta city on the island. There are many museums in the area plus the largest Fort on the Island where Caravaggio was said to have been imprisoned and escaped! and there is easy access to Valletta which is again is steeped in history. From Valletta there is an easy ferry ride to Sliema and there are buses from the main square which also go to Valletta.

    Accommodation

    We live in an old house in an ancient city which was built by the Knights of Malta in the 1500s. The house is a large 4 bedroom house with a view to the Grand Harbour. You would sleep in the largest room in the house - the sala nobile which is also used as our spare room and you would have use of your own shower/ bathroom as well.

    Down the road from our house there are restaurants and cafes and shops. There are buses that go to other parts of Malta and there is a ferry which goes regularly to Valletta which takes 7 minutes. There are some great swimming spots in walking distance to the house and lots to explore in the area.
