Description
Please, read carefully our profile and make sure we are aligned.
We are Ana, Eduard and Biel (11 years old). We are looking for a young English native person to spend time mostly with our son but also with the whole family.
We want him to improve his English in a relaxing way. Biel is a very cheerful, friendly and polite child. He loves drawing, reading, writting, playing guitar, doing handcrafts, playing Lego robotics, and any other game you propose him.
Ana (48 years old) works in a pharmaceutical company. Eduard (47 years old) is a magician and psychology professor. Both of us work normally at home. We are a nice family and there is always a very good atmosphere at home.
We live in Llagostera, a small town of 8000 inhabitants, at 15 km far away from the beach (the famous Costa Brava) and 20 km from the beautiful city of Girona. It’s a very well communicated town with a good public transport.
Our house is located downtown. It has recently been renovated, has two floors, a garden and enough space to enjoy your stay.

We would like to share meals with you, and have a real cultural exchange. We ask for workawayers who do not speak or understand Spanish, but if you want to start learning catalan or spanish, we would be happy to speak to you in any of these languages during meals or free time.

You will have plenty of free time for yourself to do your hobbies and to visit and explore our beautiful area.

Help
We are looking for a young English native person who likes children (11 years old) and don't speak Spanish.
Your help will consist in sharing time with Biel, playing or doing activities, always speaking only in English. Also we would like to practice our English with you. From Monday to Friday we will need from you 4-5 hours a day.
As you will be alone with our son, please, write us only if you are a VERY responsible person.
We also expect a cheerful active person, outgoing and with initiative. Biel is a very lovely boy, and if you have these qualities, we are sure that you will enjoy a lot your workaway time with him.
You will also contribute to some household tasks (cleaning, washing dishes, clothes, cooking, etc.), just like any other member of our family.
