  Description

  We are Ana, Eduard and Biel (9 years old). We are looking for a young English native person to spend time with our son.
  We want him to learn English in a funny way. Biel is a very cheerful, friendly and polite child. He loves stories, drawing, singing, doing inventions, playing Lego robotics, dressing up and playing any game you propose him.
  
  Ana (46 years old) works in a pharmaceutical company. Eduard (45 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 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.

  Your help will consist in sharing time with Biel, playing or doing activities, always speaking only in English. 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, who loves children. 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.
