Description
We are a Spanish family, Erica (37) and Carlos (40), with 2 children (6 and 3 years old) and our dog Duna (1 year old Pyrenean mastiff who lives in the garden). We live in Vinaròs, a lovely town between Barcelona and Valencia. Vinaròs is a small city situated on the north coast of the Valencian Community, where there are beautiful beaches, official language school, free conversation groups in the adults school, several gyms, hospital, swimming pool, ... you could find a lot of things to do here. Weather is great all the year. Our house is five minutes walking to the beach, and ten minutes walking to the city centre.
We’d like to share our house with an English speaking person to speak and play with our children (learning by playing, in a natural way). We can practice Spanish too, of course.
We’re doctors, working 8 hours per day (8am to 15pm), we love travelling around the world, animals and the nature, walk to the mountain and play with our children.
We are foodies and like cooking, usually we eat healthy real food at home, mediterranean diet (vegetables, fruits, meat, fish, legumes, rice, pasta,...) although sometimes we also bake delicious cakes and chocolates (most of time without sugar!).Types of help and learning opportunities
