Description
Hi there! We are a family of 4 plus our lovely cat. Our kids are 5 and 3 years old. We live in a big house in the country, we are surrounded by vineyards. My husband is Russian, I am Spanish but we speak in French at home because we met in Switzerland. Kids speak French, Catalan and Spanish, although their mother tongue are both french and catalan, not spanish. We live 50km away from Barcelona, which is an hour train ride. The beautiful beach town of Sitges is just 20-25 min away.
Types of help and learning opportunities
Language practice
Teaching
Babysitting and creative play
Help around the house
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We are an international family who miss travelling so much due to the current situation. We live close to Sitges which is an international village. Weather (really hot in summer..) is known for being great, food is really good (my husband's a professional cook ;) and of course the person can either practice French and/or Spanish at home, or even russian.
We live in a very calm place, not good for those in need of being in a busy city. It is great for those who love nature, hiking, or just reading a book listening to the birds.
We grow our own vegetables and hace plenty of fruit trees.

Help
We are looking for someone who enjoys being with kids. Our main interest is to find a native english speaker from England, Ireland, USA, Canada, etc., so that our kids learn the language by playing, we are fans of Montessori, so if the person had knowledge in that, would be a huge plus! Also it would help if the person understood a bit french, to make things easier in the beginning.
If at the same time than playing, they can learn and practice writing, numbers etc, would be really nice! My kids are outside kids, specially the 5 year old one, they love gardening, building, climbing trees, reparing stuff, etc.
Regarding the "help around the house", would more be about tidying up kids mess, washing up the dishes, cleaning a bit everything, but that would be really little comparing to the time I want to be spent with my kids.

What else ...
We live in the country, so no public transport around but there are several options we know, and we, of course, will drive the person to the closest village (8-10min) where buses and train can be taken to go to the beach, Barcelona or anywhere actually. Not far from where we live 5-10min, there's a tennis club, fitness, swimming pool, paddel, cinema, etc. We have bicycle which we obviously could borrow :)
Additional information: we are not smokers and we really do not one someone who smokes, not even if it's a little bit.
