  Description

  Hi, I am a teacher of English in Elche, a town near the Mediterranean. I come from Asturias, though, in the north of Spain, where my kids and I usually spend time in the summer.
  
  I'm also a single mom of twins, who were born in 2014. They are nice normal kids their age. I'd love them to learn English just by playing and spending time with a native person.
  
  I love nature, hiking, and spending time with my kids. However, I need help at home, looking after them, especially during exam periods (september and june).
  
  We are a normal family with a little bit of stress too!
  We love the sun and the sea here near Elche (10 km away). This town is quiet and quite relaxed, but with cinemas, restaurants....and the biggest palm grove in Europe.
  
  We have an old lady cat, Nina, who will be 19 soon, so she has become even more afectionate than she already was.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  Elche is a very nice town with an arabic historic centre. The Castle and the archeological museum are great, and It has the largest Palm Grove in Europe, made by the arabs when they inhabited most of the Iberian peninsula. In fact, this grove is World Heritage.
  In the Basilic, every year, an event takes place, World Heritage too, the MISTERI D'ELX, a "mystery", a sung performance, precursor of modern theatre. It's a must.
  I am a teacher of English for adult students, so if you want to meet people, I can introduce you to people who would be very happy about It.

  Help

  I'm a single mum of 9-year-old twins. I'm a teacher and during exam periods (june and september) i need a person Who looks after them for a few hours on weekdays because i work most afternoons, when they are not at school.
  This person should Talk to them in English while playing, going for a walk, basically spend time with them and maybe prepare a sandwich for a snack or heat dinner in the microwave.

  A bedroom only for you, in a semi -detached house. Bed linen included, of course.
  Breakfast, lunch and dinner. Mediterranean diet. We love legumes, which I cook.

  What else ...

  No smoking is essential. And no parties.
  
  The House is about 3 km from Elche but there is public transport, I can lend you a bike and, if available, i can help with lifts. There's a bus stop which gets you to the beach too, though we can also go together.
