Description
Hello! My husband, two daughters (6 & 11) and I have lived in Spain for four years now. We have traveled a lot around the world and are now settled in the beautiful coastal town of La Herradura, Granada.
I’m from the UK and my husband is from Peru. We have a little dog called Dotty, she’s Spanish :) Both our daughters attend a local school.
My husband I both have our own thriving businesses so are quite busy! We’re looking for someone who can easily fit into our family life help to keep things running smoothly in the home. The main things we are looking for are cooking family meals and keeping the house ordered and tidy. We would also love someone to spend a little time with the girls doing various project based activities, creating art and playing games. Our girls are super independent and they both easily adapt to new people.
Because cooking is a bit part of the responsibilities being able to cook and being confident in the kitchen is a must.
We would also be interested in hosting someone who can cook and has skills relating to website design and management, marketing and/or general online related skills to assist with our businesses.
