  Description

  We are a family of 4 plus our furry babies. I (F34) am an English teacher in our town, I work Mondays-Fridays in the afternoons. Juan (M39) works in a local factory, he works shifts so we need an extra pair of hands to look after Julia (born Oct.2021 ) and Sofia (Feb. 2023).
  Then we have Wendy and Nana, 2 adorable Golden Retrievers who live indoors and are part of the family.
  We live in a really big house, with a 1200meter garden in walking distance to the train station, the library, cafés, gyms…
  We own 2 cars, if needed you would be able to use them.
  Julia and Sofia go to school in the mornings for a couple of hours, they love playing and goofing around. They just never stop! Plus being so young they have their little (or big) tantrums, so it’s not a quiet house 😅
  
  
  We have help at home. She is like a second mom to me and the girls, yet our house is never spotless, you will always find hair here or there, or toys. We are a messy family.
  We used to travel a lot, we have been all around the world but right now it’s quite hard so, we plan to bring the world to us!
  
  *At the moment we are looking for someone just to play with the girls, prepare games, laugh and joke around with them.
