  Description

  Hi Workawayers!
  We are a family of four (two adults and two children aged 8 and 6) looking for intercultural exchange and help with the kids. We live in a lovely small town called Salinas by the seaside in Asturias, Spain, where surfing, skating, trekking and nature activities are key factors. We will be glad and looking forward to hosting a responsible and caring youngster (20-28 years old) who can speak and play with the children in English and help us around the house . We would like that you could stay with us for at least a month and a half.
  Here you will find an open-minded and welcoming family who can also help you with your Spanish skills (we are translators and Spanish teachers).
  We are looking forward to hearing from you! Feel free to contact us to get to know each other better.
  😊😘

  Help

  We are looking for a workawayer who can play and speak in English with the kids in the afternoons, help us get them ready for school in the mornings and also help us with everyday house chores.
  We would also appreciate it if you could babysit the kids (cook dinner and see a film together) a couple of nights a month.
  You will have the rest of the time off to go to the beach, go for a walk or explore and discover the beautiful surroundings you will find here.
  
  Right now we are looking for two slightly different schedules:
  
  Timetable 1: We are looking for a person to stay with us until the end of June. In the morning you would help us get the children ready and take them to school. Afterwards, we would like you to spend some time doing some housework (hanging out the washing and picking it up, vacuuming, setting the table, cleaning the kitchen...). The children come home from school at lunchtime, and after lunch you would have to be with them for a while (from 16:00 to 18:00 approx.), take them to some extracurricular activities, play a bit of English, read books.
  
  Timetable 2: We are looking for a person to be with us from approximately 21 July until the end of August. In this case, you would have to get up with the children and be with them until 11:00 (approx.), then you would have the whole day free to go to the beach, surfing, practising Spanish (Salinas is a very lively town in summer, with a huge beach and festivals). At the end of the day you might have to spend some more time with the children and you would have to be available to stay with the children several nights (two a week).
