    Description

    Hello, we are a family living in a rural area of the Basque Country, 30 minutes from San Sebastian. The village is small and surrounded by mountains. We live in a large house overlooking the forest. Here you can walk as much as you like. Tolosa, the nearest city (10 minutes away), offers all kinds of cultural services, shops, museums, etc. There are three of us in our family: Basque-Iranian (at home we speak Basque, Iranian, and Spanish, and also a little English!). Our son is 4 years old, and we would like the person who wants to live with us to speak English with him. It is important for us to share our culture and traditions with the au pair. We enjoy a quiet life, walking in the mountains, cycling, and picking and roasting chestnuts in the autumn. We have a vegetable garden at home and we like to eat healthily! Pedram is a video editor and photographer and works the afternoon shift. He has a woodworking workshop at home, and in his free time you will always see him working with wood. I, Ane, work part-time at the university as a lecturer and also own a café/shop 3 kilometers from where we live. Sina is a very cheerful and sociable boy. He's not currently in school, and Pedram and I are raising him. We had an au pair for 3 months, and it was a great experience. Sina understands English, and we'd like the au pair to play, cook, read, sing, etc., in English. We offer a spacious room, a bicycle, and a willingness to share and enjoy this stay together. Ane, Pedram, and Sina


    Hola,

    Somos una familia que vive en una zona rural del Pais Vasco, a 30 minutos de San Sebastian. El pueblo es pequeño y rodeado de montañas. Vivimos en una casa grande con vistas al bosque.
    Aquí se puede caminar todo lo que uno/a quiera. Tolosa la ciudad más cercana (10') ofrece todo tipo de servicios culturales, tiendas, museos....

    Somos tres en nuestra familia: vasca-iraní ( en casa se habla, vasco, iraní y español también un poquito de inglés!) Nuestro hijo tiene 4 años y nos gustaría que la persona que quiera convivir con nosotros hablase inglés con el.

    Para nosotros es importante que compartir con la/el au pair nuestra cultura, tradiciones....Nos gusta la vida tranquila, pasear en la montaña, montar en bicicleta, recoger castañas en otoño y asarlas. Tenemos un huerta en casa y nos gusta comer sano!

    Pedram es editor de video y fotógrafo y trabaja en el turno de tarde. En casa tiene un taller de carpintería y en sus ratos libres siempre lo verás trabajar la madera.

    Yo Ane, trabajo durante una temporada en la Universidad como profesora y también tengo una cafetería -tienda a 3 kilometros de donde vivimos.

    Sina es un niño muy alegre y social. De momento no va al colegio y nos ocupamos de su crianza Pedram y yo. Tuvimos a una au pair durante 3 meses y la experiencia fue muy buena. Sina entienden inglés y nos gustaría que la au pair juegue, cocine, lea, cante....con en el inglés.

    Ofrecemos habitación amplia, bicicleta y ganas de compartir y de disfrutar juntos está estancia.

    Ane, Pedram y Sina
