Description
We are a Family of Three, with a dog. World Travelers, Vegetarian, Light Worriers, and a Latin American twist.
Magically, we found a beautiful, quiet place between orange trees in Alicante, Spain, and we have been here for 5 years now.
As a caretaker, I just had an accident and I am not able to do everything that is needed in and around the house.
So I am looking for some help during my period of recovery, between April and July, mainly with bringing the children to school, keeping the house clean and organised, some light gardening, washing clothes and help in cooking.
We are looking for a kind, proactive person who loves kids and their adventures, is preferrably a native Spanish speaker and fluent in English, loves animals and being out there in Nature. Arts, Yoga, Music, Pottery, Gardening, the Sea, Mountains, Walks, Cooking....are all things we enjoy and want to share!

Help
If you want there is also always some light maintenance work and gardening to do.

Accommodation
I offer a very cozy apartment with views, quietness and direct access to the woods. The apartment and house are part of a ¨urbanización¨ with few houses on a mountain, so note that the house is a bit isolated, about 15min walk or 5 min drive to the nearest small village and 20 mins form a small thriving coastal town.
The apartment is a light, singe space with a double bed, a single bed/sofa and a table with 4 chairs; a kitchen, bathroom and shower, and has a terrace outside with table and chairs.
Located near all necessary services (supermarkets, shopping center, beaches, walking trails are all available on less than 20 minutes by car) we are located between pine woods, where only the wind in the trees can be heard. With access to the pool, the yoga deck and possibilities to hike and bike.
The views are stunning, valencia and Alicante are each one hour away, we are at 20 mins from Denia and Javea, nice, laid back Mediterranean towns.
We can share food, sometimes you can prepare your own food..as you wish.
What else ...
Located at only 5 minutes from the Benidoleig village, with some nice restaurants, typical native Spanish bars, a bakery and and a small supermarket, it is easy to go inland and explore climbing and hiking trails or vineyards, or go towards the sea and enjoy beaches, small coast villages such as Denia or Javea, or even visit Valencia or Alicante which are both at one hour´s drive.
I have a car and a van you can use. and there is a good bike too.
