    LADIES ONLY - 1 MONTH PLACEMENT, START LATE JUNE / EARLY JULY
    Thank you for considering our family! We are looking for someone who will help us during a very demanding , super busy business season by looking after our wonderful high energy funny 6 years old Phoebe, our 11 years old dog Coco and help mama Aggy with some small chores around perhaps a bit of cooking if you love doing it.

    We will schedule a few WhatsApp calls to get to know you better and see if you are a perfect fit which is extremely important given a length of the job. The person who will be living with us must meet the following criteria:
    MUST HAVE EXPERIENCE WITH 6 YEARS OLD
    MUST HAVE DRIVING LICENSE - I need help driving Phoebe to summer school every day during July
    MUST BE A GOOD SWIMMER to accompany Phoebe in the pool and in the sea
    MUST LOVE DOGS - our Coco needs 3 walks a day and lots of love and attention. You must have experience and knowledge of dogs
    MUST BE HAPPY WITH SMALL HOUSE CHORES. Very small daily tasks. We have a cleaner coming to the house weekly so nothing big is required.
    MUST KNOW HOW TO PREPARE SIMPLE HEALTHY MEALS FOR MY DAUGHTER - if you love to cook, even better ;)

    We are after a very special person who will not only spend time with our beloved daughter and dog Coco, but take a huge pressure off me, working Mama . We are looking for someone mature who doesn't need to be told what to do, just takes initiative and gets on with things, someone who is responsible, fun and creative and with a high energy to play with Phoebe who is always on the move, even when she sleeps :) Phoebe does not respond well to quiet shy people, so please be honest with yourself before applying. Coco will not respond well to someone who isn't fully experienced and comfortable with dogs, so again - honesty is a key!

    I am Polish but my main language is English. My husband is British and we met while we lived in London. Now during the last 10 years we have lived in Mallorca, in the beautiful town of Alaro in the Tramuntana Mountains. Our little daughter Phoebe is 6 years old and understands English, Catalan, Mallorquin and a bit of Spanish.

    We are running our own property management business that is terribly demanding and therefore we need someone who will understand this and help us on a daily basis and make our life less stressful.

    Phoebe is at summer school from 9am till 14:00 and I will need someone to drive her back and forth plus feed her and spend time with her from 14:00 until 17:00 each day, plus walk Coco twice in the morning and once in the evening. You will be compensated more than standard au pair in Spain. You will have 2 days off per week.

    We would prefer someone who eats it all, loves food,and if she likes to cook - thats a huge benefit, but not essential. Although its important she has a good knowledge of cooking to be able to prepare simple meals for my daughter.

  • Accommodation

    Accommodation

    We have a spare big bedroom and a spare bathroom.

    We love food and eat everything, although we are currently on lactose free, gluten free diet and I and Phoebe have eggs intolerance, but apart from that we love all food.

    We would prefer not to cater for person who is vegetarian or vegan or with strong food allergies, because it adds additional hassle with shopping and stress of planning meals and currently we are dealing with a lot of stress and we want to minimise it by inviting someone who would be easy going with food.

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    There is a bus and a train to Palma, one of the most exciting cities in Europe. From Palma you can get to many popular places on the island. We will also be taking you by car to the beach, walks in the mountains, Palma and other places.
