Description
We are a family with 3 children. They are between 15 and 10 years old. We live in a town in The Basque Country, near San Sebastian (30 minutes by train or by bus). We can speak Basque (euskara), Spanish and we try to speak english as well. We live in a flat but near the mountains.

Help
We welcome a workawayer to practice English with children, go for a walk, help them to the extra school activities and so on, in the mornings meanwhile parents are at work.
It would be 4-5 hours in the mornings, from monday to friday. Starting from the middle of June to the last week of July, more or less. It depends on you.

Accommodation
We live in a flat. The workawayer will have a bedroom only for him/her. He/she will share the rest of the spaces with us. We have internet and wifi. We will provide three meals per day and we can help him/her visiting our country. If it is necesary, we have enough bycicles to share.
What else ...
The visitors can go to San Sebastian by train or bus in the afternoon. It is also really easy to visit Bilbao or Vitoria. We live near the mountains, in a very short walk, you can see very beautiful landscapes. The coast is 30-40 minutes far from our home (San Sebastian, Zarautz, Getaria, Fuenterrabia...). Depending on the relationship between the workawayer and the family, we could go to these places alltogether.
Our children don't need a babysiter, we only want someone who can accompany them in the mornings and improve their english. They can speak spanish though their mother tongue is Basque. The visitor would be in contact with our ancient and unique language.
