Description
We are an English homeschooling family in Central Portugal with a 4 year old boy and a 13 year old girl. My husband and I both run online businesses and divide our time working from home. We welcome a workaway to enjoy our home in a rural farming village with the most beautiful authentic portuguese neighbours! Ideally, I would love a loving soul who LOVES children and is self-motivated with great engaging ideas for childrens play. Our little boy loves to be energetic - going on pretend camping adventures, expeditions, riding his bike, skateboarding etc...
Our 13 year old daughter is homeschooled Waldorf Steiner Education and equally, I welcome anyone with Waldorf Steiner experience or a teacher of any style that could add to her homeschooling curriculum. Ylana is a gentle, kind animal-loving soul who loves to play boardgames, horse ride, nature, swimming, talking, learning crafts etc.
Firstly, my preference would be help with entertaining the children and giving them the attention that I sometimes run out of being able to give.. (and I know they need)....
I'd love to build a tree-house and a guinea pig hutch and run... so any help with this would also be great - so if you are great at building things - this is useful too!
Anyway, we are open to who is attracted to stay with us... let's chat and see how we connect.
We are surrounded by the most stunning river beaches all in 10-20 minutes car ride away. 30 minutes from Coimbra by car. Local town is 10 minutes drive which has a gym, swimming pool etc.. cafes 10 minute drive away....
There is a bus route from the local town (10 minutes drive) to Coimbra and other areas within Portugal.
We also have a very cuddly, friendly little dog.
Depending on your experience with children, I may like your help with organising children activities with a groups of children.
