Description
Bonjour!, Hello!, ¡hola!:
I am looking for workwayer experienceS in APRIL, MAY, JUNE, JULY, AGUST, on...with FRENCH or ENGLISH native speaker girls.
We are a small and lovely family of 2 members, me Dayana (43) and my little daugther (5). We live at the western cost of Tenerife, in a small village named Buenavista del Norte.
We enjoyed a lot only 2 of us together and we are willing to have fun with other people at home by sharing time, and learning new things. We would also like to share with you this fantastic piece of the world we enjoy every day.
We would like to bring home different experiences, flavours and way of cooking, children games and traditions, exchanging culture in general.
I work at home, and my daugther attends school in the morning and extra activities in the afternoon. So the time for the support needed can be arrange in the morning or afternoon.
On a regular basis, I need support in cooking, the house-cleaning and gardening.
When my daughter is at home, I would love to spend some time making games and playing together with the workwayer in FRENCH or ENGLISH.
Support in babysitting will be seldom during the school time because we love enjoying together.
In the summer period, the babysiiting support could be extended according to the workaway profile.
Due to family reasons:
- in school period (September - June), my daughter is at home 2 or 3 days/nights per week.
- in summer (July - August): one week, every 2.
So, the kind of support and time demand can be arranged according to your profile, and periof of the year, between 3 or 5 hours per day.
You are more than welcome to join us in our family activities. When possible, we go to the beach or pool every afternoon. We visit friends and family (mainly with children) and attend children activities as concerts or storytelling shows, enjoy nature, etc.
You will have your own bedroom and toilet with internet connection and access to the rest of the house and garden.

Help
After our first experience with workawayer, I need to leave clear that good communication is a must. So, I have decided to update the collaboration conditions, and agree beforehand with the workawyer:
I offer accomodation for 3 hours of support per day. I do not think we need more. In case this support per day is extended, I will provide the food as well.
In any case this person have to get the responsability of cooking for herself, since my main demand is coocking for me and my daughter, so I need to leave clear I am not getting the responsability of cooking for others. We can cook together, but I am afraid not in a daily bases.
I am looking for a nice, kind, energetic, non-smoker and responsible girl, with a high level of English to help with the general duties of the house: coocking, laundry, keeping tidy (specially the kitchen), sweeping, etc. Promptly, to help with my daugther by playing games or gardening / watering the plans, which she loves. You would need to speak at least basic Spanish, specially with my daughter, but it would be a great opportunity for you to improve your spoken Spanish and us our French or English!
My daughter is a very happy, funny child and we would like someone outgoing and fun but also responsible.
My daughter doesn’t speak French or English but she is curious about it and gets quickly new words, she is highly interested but doesn’t want to speak French or English to me, I guess it is not natural since we have always spoken in Spanish.
She dreams with having her own vegetal / fruit garden, so if you are good with plants, you will be a great team.
WHEN DO I NEED YOU?:
- all year around.
My daugther has some digestive problems, so we keep a diet free of gluten and dairy, It is hard for her to share table with someone who eats what is forbidden to her, so I strongly appreciate your comprehension. I would be delighted to find someone who does this kind of diet, becuase I am at the begining of the learning process of “what the hell I can prepare to her”. If you do eat these things, please, be aware I will request to keep them out of the common areas and eat them when my daughter is not present.

I am native Spanish speaker, I have lived one year in Sweden and one year in France, where I had the chance to improve my level in English and French (also a bit of Swedish which I have mostly forgotten). I have a high level of comprenhesion (in English and French) with native speaker (better than in writting, I think). At the moment, I am looking for Frech or English Exchange.

Our communication prior the stay was really good, and I connected with Susan very easily. We talked about what I needed at home, and we exchanged our expectations.
Once having her in place, I had to learn the difference between having a guest or a workawayer helper, but… read more
