Description
Hi there! My name is Saskia, and my husband is Arne. I’m originally from Estonia and Arne is from Germany. We’re a busy household with our 18 month old son, Johannes and our 6 year old German Shepherd, Pippo.
We’ve lived in Andorra for a year now and just bought a house that we’re getting ready to renovate. It’s got 80s/90s vibe—so nothing fancy! The house is quite spacious, so you’ll have plenty of privacy with your own floor if you’d like.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Living in a microstate is a unique cultural experience. You’ll learn the "Catalan way of life," from the local language to the mountain routine.
Either we’re heading to a local village festival, a weekend hike or will do a daytrip outside the country you’re always invited to join the crew.
You’ll gain a perspective on how it is to live in a small, mountain-locked community. It’s an opportunity to learn adaptability, new practical skills and practice language exchange in a natural setting.We view hosting as a two-way street. While we hope to share our knowledge of Andorra and our specific projects with you, we are equally excited to learn from you. Whether it’s a recipe from your home country, a different way of approaching a problem, or simply hearing about your travels, your background enriches our home.
Our son understands and speaks Russian. Me and my husband don't. So if You speak Russian then it's an ideal way to communicate to our son and also keep his knowledge of the language fresh.
Au Pair Help
This host is looking for Au pair help.
Help
Our place is quite big and my husband travels a lot so I’m mainly looking for someone to help me with our son Johannes and keep our house and one apartment clean. But most importantly, we want someone who feels like part of the family!
Ideally we’re looking for someone who speaks Russian, but even if you don’t then don’t hesitate to contact me!
Plus points if you:
Have a driver’s license
Are outdoorsy and love nature (because nature is Andorra’s specialty)
Have experience with toddlers or have a child of your own.
Languages
Languages spoken
English: FluentThis host offers a language exchange
Ideally we’re looking for a Russian speaking person but other applicants are also very very welcomed!
Accommodation
You’ll have your own room and bathroom.
If our dining times are the same then i would like to eat all together.
We provide three meals a day. Here is how we usually do things:
Breakfast & Lunch: These are often more flexible to fit our daily rhythm. We keep a full pantry and fridge so you can help yourself to what you need.
Dinner (The Main Event): We usually come together in the evening to enjoy the meal together. This is our time to share stories and enjoy each other’s company.
What else ...
During your free time your options are:
- hiking (trails start right behind our house)
- we can drive somewhere in Andorra
- if you’re a good driver and we have a trust between us then you can borrow the car.
- there is no public transportation connection to our area (have to double check it but even if there is then probably busses that run very rarely)
-getting out to explore the country can be a bit difficult without a car, but i'm sure we'll find a consensus.
