Description
Hello,
We are a family living in Gran Canaria, in the country next to Las Palmas, at the edge of the natural zone in San Lorenzo. We are french speaking Belgian with 2 children : girls of 1 and 5 years old. We would like to host someone who would be with the children (an average of 1,5 hour a day acording to ours and yours projects). At home, we usualy speak French but we can also speak Spanish or English if you prefer. Our children only understand french and spanish (the oldest is interested in English).
Children are going to school during the day, up to 2-3 p.m. They are the principal reason why we are on workaway even if we have sometimes others projets like house renovation, handcrafting that can involve extra help. Participation on those projects or being more with the children could be exchanged for food (vegetarian mostly) if you are interested.
So it would be family-lifestyle-sharing with its usual timetable, calm and HYGIENE. You can have your own project, going to university, visit other islands, hiking and come back later...
Our house is a terrassed house with a rooftop that have an extra small kitchen. Neighboorhood is calm. You would have your own room with a small desk, wi-fi connection.
About us :
We are 35 and 38, have been social worker and teacher. After that, we having been living in the nature and building there our house and an edible garden. We have been used to host volunteer when we had this farm.
We like jugling, phylosophy, music, skateboarding, going to the beach... Our older daughter is very outgoing and likes to go bicycling at the skatepark, painting at home, cooking, boardgames and is open at many things. Our baby is pretty easy also, especialy in the company of her sister. So you don't have to be a real babysiter to be with them !
Our friends here are mainly spanish and we will sometimes invite you to join us with them while going out. We also sometimes receive visit at home from friends coming from Belgium or La Palma island.Types of help and learning opportunities
