  • Description

    Description

    We are a Mexican/English/Israeli family with a 5-yo, a 3.5-yo, and a cat. We have two local businesses, one of which we are just opening. Add that to the kids summer holidays and things are very busy round here.

    We're hoping that we can host someone who will enjoy being the countryside, and will love hanging out with the kids. Time saving help around the house like laundry, light chores and occasional cooking will be a gamechanger for us.

    We prefer last-minute requests because forward planning is hard!

    We are in a small, quiet village, please let me know that you are fine with that in your message because I worry about putting some poor soul in the middle of the countryside if they need the excitement of a big city and constant company.

    My wife, Tona, is trans, please also make sure you are cool with that before you apply.

    We go to my parents' house some days, and there will be animals; it's your choice if you come along. We are happy to make sure you can get to bus and train stations to do some travelling around whenever you feel like it.

    You are welcome to be as independent or as involved as suits you.
