    Description

    Hello! We are the Balasch-Cortada family, and we're looking for someone special to become part of our little family.

    I (the mom) speak Spanish, Catalan, and English, and I’d love for you to speak English with the kids.
    Of course, if you're interested in learning Spanish or Catalan, I’d be very happy to help you.

    We’ve already had three au pairs who became like family to us. We truly value this kind of cultural exchange and do our best to make sure you feel at home from day one.

    We're looking for a new au pair to join us starting in October 2025 and you’re welcome to stay as long as it feels right for you.

    If this sounds like a good match, we’d love to get to know you better over a video call. Feel free to reach out anytime!

    Warmly,
    The Balasch-Cortada Family

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    We live in a small town called Tornabous, just 1 hour from Barcelona and 30 minutes from Lleida, the main cities nearby.

    Our area is very well connected, so it's easy to explore other parts of Catalonia during your free time.

    At the same time, we enjoy the peace and charm of small-town life—quiet streets, friendly neighbors, and a slower pace that’s perfect for feeling at home and recharging.
