Description
We're a family of four (British/Swedish) who have settled in Valencia. We have a daughter aged 12 and a boy aged 10 as well as a 5 year old dog, Toby. We have a lovely one bedroom apartment in the trendy beach neighbourhood of Cabanyal for our workawayers to stay in. It is a ten minute bike or bus ride from our house.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Valencia is an amazing city and you would have plenty of time to enjoy it! You'll have plenty of space to yourself seeing as you'd have your own house and plenty of opportunity to explore as we only need help for 4 hours a day on weekdays. This workaway is best suited for independent travellers who are happy to help in our house for a few hours a day and then spend the rest of the time exploring or working on their own projects.

Help
In July and August of 2025, we are looking for someone who is an amazing cook and efficient/cheerful at tidying up/cleaning/laundry.
If you are a couple or friends, that is great as we are also looking for workawayers who can help with general maintenance, painting and small jobs in the house and garden, running errands (would be great to have a drivers' license) and dog care.
We are also looking for someone who can take care of our dog and also do small household jobs while we are away for a week or so in August.

I'd love to help you with English in return for you helping me learn Spanish!
Accommodation
You would have your own spacious one bedroom apartment a short bike or bus ride away from our house. It is a beautiful apartment that we usually rent out on Airbnb so it is in great condition and well-equipped.
What else ...
Please note that we do not offer food. Your 4 hours of work per weekday is in exchange for free rent of a large apartment with all utilities included. Thanks!

We have had an excellent time with them. We made meals and repaired things with pleasure. It was a great experience for us as, and we are super grateful to them for having us.
We absolutely recommend them!!!
