  Description

  Hi, my name is Kia and I live in Aljezur, on the southwest coast of the Algarve.
  
  I have three kids: a girl (17) called Alea, and two boys (14 and 13) Max and Tobias.
  
  I am looking for help with my two boys for the summer, from the 15th of June until the 15th of September, for 3 days a week, mainly from after lunch until the afternoon, for 4-5 hours, just going to the beach with them or playing ball, going on walks.
  
  I also need help with starting a garden around the house, if you have some gardening skills, please let me know...
  
  The boys both have a very rare genetic condition which is characterized by non-verbal communication and an intellectual and cognitive delay. They are both happy kids and easygoing and very used to being with other people around and I am hoping for a male helper for them, who can go to the beach with them and play ball and surf a bit because they love some proper physical activity that I cannot deliver.
  
  A driver's license is needed.
  
  Additionally, I need someone to help me sometimes with small house chores or handyman tasks, when the boys are at their father's place.
  
  I have a small translation agency and run rentals, so I work from home.
  
  During vacation time, they are with me for 2 weeks and then 2 weeks with the dad.
  
  I can offer you your own cozy apartment to live in and we can definitely share some meals, but mainly food would be on your own. I attached some pictures of the apartment to the folder.
  
  I am looking preferably for a couple that could stay from the middle of June until the middle of September, in order to build a longer relationship, I think that would be more rewarding for all of us. But if you can only stay 1 month, that is also fine.

  Help

  I am separated from their father, so the kids are 50% of the time with me and 50% of the time with their dad. When they are with me, I would need help with doing activities with them after lunchtime, maybe from 2 to 6 pm, while I work, and would also need some help with the house, cleaning, or smaller tasks, like gardening.
