Enjoy mountain activities with our family in Sallent de Gállego, Spain

  Description

  We are a family with two children, Unax, 6, and Arán, 2 (turning 3 in July). We have a very good and obedient Border Collie; he doesn't know what a leash is. We live in Sallent de Gállego, a rural mountain village dedicated to tourism. It's the last village in the Pyrenees before the French border. We also have a vegetable garden where you can help us if you'd like. My wife, Esther, and I, Javier, work in adventure tourism: hiking, climbing, and canyoning. We live surrounded by nature, mountains, lakes, rivers, and animals. Our life's project and our work revolve around people, sharing, tourism, and sports. Because of our work, we need help with some household chores and, above all, time with the children. They go to a play center every morning from Monday to Friday, and you would just need to drop them off and pick them up. In the afternoons, they enjoy the river, bike rides, or swimming. Although we are always with them as much as possible - you will have time to enjoy walks, routes or come with us to our activities.
  
  We are looking for an English-speaking person to live with us. You will have your own room and share a bathroom with the children. We are a hardworking family dedicated to helping others.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  We guide in the mountains and organize trips through the Pyrenees. In our free time, we go cycling with the children or to the river. We enjoy mountain activities like canyoning, hiking with our dog Ibón, and above all, spending time with the children and playing alongside them as they grow. This is a village with many activities and options. The first week of August is the patron saint festival with games and dancing. Also, in July, there is the PIRINEO SUR festival, where we could help you with tickets. It has a fantastic lineup with more than 20 concerts on the floating stage in the reservoir.

  Help

  We'll need help with the children. Spending time with them, playing, and keeping them entertained. Occasionally, you could make them snacks or dinner. The children enjoy biking, soccer, walking, and going to the river. We're members of a swimming pool where you can spend the afternoon. You could also accompany our two children and help us with dinners at home. Once you're here, between July 10th and August 15th, we'll be very busy, but the rest of the time you're welcome to explore and travel whenever you need, using our house as your base.
