  Description

  LOOKING FOR SOMEONE FROM FEBRUARY!
  
  Hi! Come to Cuenca (Spain) and stay in a funny family of 4! We are a couple with two kids who love travelling, nature and learning foreign languages. We live in the city centre and we spend some weekends in the countryside in a cottage.
  Dani (38), me (Irene 41), Valeria (7) and Millán (3) live in a 3 bedroom flat in the city centre. We walk to school and we have some extra curricular activities in the afternoon.
  We will ask 20-25 hours of help per week, weekends free. We are quite flexible and you would have plenty of time to enjoy the city and the cultural activities around it.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  We love foreign languages and our wish is to share this passion with our kids. You will learn plenty of Spanish with us, but we would also like you to teach your own language to our children. And practice with us if possible! We speak French, English, German and Italian.
  I am a language teacher and I sometimes teach Spanish as a foreign language. We all can help you to boost your level in Spanish! We love chatting.

  Help

  We are looking for an extra hand to help us with our children and the house: walking them to school or pick them up, having lunch with them, going to the park... Once a week we come late from work and we need you to spend the afternoon and evening with them. Our timetables may have bit changes some times so a quite flexible person is required. Regarding the house only small house chores will be asked. You are very welcome if you like cooking! Weekends are free time for you.

  Accommodation

  A private single room is for you with two beds and closet. We have two bathrooms in the flat; you can share one with the children.
  
  We normally share meals. You will be considered a member of our family so all meals are included. We love meat, fish and vegetables. We try to follow a Mediterranean diet, although we sometimes eat fast food too (pizza and burgers!). We love cooking and we usually cook two main meals a day (comida y cena). We'd prefer not to host vegans, because it could be a bit difficult for us to prepare food. But just let us know about your preferences or allergies and that should be ok.

  What else ...

  We live in a touristic and beautiful city in the centre of Spain called Cuenca. 2 hours driving from Madrid, 2 hours from Valencia. It's sunny but cold in winter. In autumn it is a lovely place to visit (not very rainy, but a bit cool). You can sign up for Spanish courses if you are interested. Cuenca also offers various museums and a University full of cultural activities and young people.
