  Description

  Immediate start available!
  
  We are an international Danish-Mexican family living in a beautiful house in Gójar, a peaceful village just outside Granada, in sunny southern Spain.
  
  We are two professionals working from home, with a lovely 9-year-old son who goes to school just around the corner.
  
  We've recently moved into our new house, and although we love it here, there are still plenty of things to organise, unpack and set up!
  
  We're looking for a friendly, practical and independent person who enjoys cooking, is handy around the house and doesn't mind helping with everyday tasks.
  
  Nothing too complicated, just lots of little things that need doing. Some days might involve preparing a nice family meal, others assembling furniture, organising deliveries, unpacking boxes or taking care of small household jobs.
  
  Our home is in a wonderful location, surrounded by beautiful nature and hiking opportunities. Granada city, with its amazing culture, historic neighbourhoods, tapas bars and lively atmosphere, is only about 30 minutes away by bus.
  
  We can welcome someone immediately, so we'd especially love to hear from Workawayers who are already in Spain or can arrive at short notice.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  We're a Mexican-Danish couple living in a beautiful villa just outside Granada, and we love meeting people from different countries and cultures.
  
  We speak both Spanish and English at home and would be happy to help you practise and improve either language in everyday conversations.
  
  We absolutely love food and cooking, and we'd especially enjoy learning about your country's cuisine. We'd love it if you could introduce us to some of your favourite dishes!
  
  Mum is a graphic designer, and Dad runs a web and mobile development company. If you're interested in design, technology, websites or apps, we're always happy to share our knowledge and experience.
  
  Dad also plays guitar and piano and loves to sing, so if you're musical, we'd be delighted to have a jam session together!
  
  We've both travelled extensively, love discovering new places and cultures, and enjoy exchanging stories and experiences with people from around the world.
  
  Above all, we'd love this to be a genuine cultural exchange, where we can learn from each other, share good food and conversations, and make you feel part of our family during your stay.

  Help

  We're an international family with Danish and Mexican backgrounds, living in Spain. We speak English, Spanish and Danish.
  
  We enjoy meeting people from different countries, exchanging stories and learning about other cultures. There are opportunities to practise languages, experience everyday Spanish family life and discover the food, traditions and lifestyle of Andalusia.
  
  We both work from home, so you'll also get a glimpse into life in an international household where technology, creativity and family life come together.
  
  We enjoy good food and conversation, and we hope our Workawayer will feel welcome and comfortable sharing some of our everyday family life.
  
  The Granada region is a fantastic place to explore, with historic villages, the Sierra Nevada mountains, beautiful walks and countless cultural experiences.
  
  4. Help
  
  We're especially looking for someone who is both handy and comfortable in the kitchen.
  
  The main activities would include:
  
  Cooking: Preparing simple, healthy and tasty meals for our family.
  
  DIY and maintenance: Small repairs, assembling furniture, putting things together and helping with light household maintenance.
  
  Unpacking and organising: Opening deliveries, sorting boxes, arranging household items and helping us get everything into place.
  
  Light housework: Keeping shared spaces tidy, helping with the kitchen and general household organisation.
  
  Other small projects: Various practical tasks that come up as we settle into our new home.
  
  You don't need to be a professional handyman or chef. We're simply looking for someone practical, organised and resourceful who enjoys getting things done.
  
  It would be wonderful to find someone who can see what needs doing, take initiative and work independently without constant supervision.
  
  We're a busy family, but also relaxed and friendly. We appreciate good communication, reliability and a positive attitude.
  
  This is not a major renovation project, and we're not looking for someone to do heavy construction or specialist electrical or plumbing work.
  
  We can be flexible about the daily schedule and agree on a fair arrangement with plenty of free time to enjoy the area.

  What else ...

  Granada is a wonderful city, full of history, culture, great food and a lively international atmosphere. It's especially popular with students and young people, with plenty of cafés, tapas bars, music and things to do.
  
  We live in Gójar, a peaceful residential area just outside Granada, surrounded by beautiful nature and lovely hiking opportunities. There's a bus connection to Granada city centre, which takes around 30 minutes.
  
  The famous Alhambra, the Sierra Nevada mountains and the Mediterranean coast are all within reach, so there's plenty to explore during your free time.
  
  We've hosted Workawayers, au pairs and Couchsurfers in the past, so we're very familiar with welcoming people into our home.
  
  We're a busy family, and since we both work from home, we appreciate a calm, relaxed atmosphere and respect for each other's privacy and independence.
  
  You'll have plenty of free time to explore the area, pursue your own interests or simply relax. We're happy for you to be independent and make your own plans.
  
  Granada has a fantastic nightlife, and you're welcome to enjoy it. However, if your main reason for visiting is to party and stay out late every night, our family home probably isn't the best fit.
  
  We're looking for someone responsible, independent and easygoing who enjoys a peaceful place to stay while discovering Granada and its beautiful surroundings.
