Description
Hello there!
We are a Spanish family. We want to live with a person, not only to improve English in our family, but also to know more about another culture and have another experience in our lives.
My name is Mentxu, and my husband’s is Pedro. We have two beautiful daughters, Aitana is 8 years old and Noa is 3 years old. Aitana is a very intelligent girl, she is very athletic and loves all kinds of animals; especially horses and dogs. Noa is a very affectionate and familiar young girl. She likes to play with baby dolls, and she is very independent.
We live in San Lorenzo de El Escorial, a small town just 45 km from Madrid. San Lorenzo is a quiet place, very close to the mountains and it is very well connected with Madrid. There many daily connections by bus or train with Madrid. Our town is a special tourist point because the Royal Monastery of El Escorial is located here, which is a famous and historical building.
We need somebodoy who likes children because you will spend a lot of time with our daughters. In fact, this is the most important thing that you will have to do in our family. This will be only in the mornings during workdays, then you would have all afternoons and weekends for yourself. We would like that you could do several activities with them; for example, take them to the park or help them to do some homework, creative activities… We would like you to be part of our family, so if you want to have dinner with us or share more hours or activities with us, we will happy with this. But we will also respect your privacy if you wish to do this on your own.
We are a very active family and we would like to have somebody who has a similar way of life. Someone who is energetic, who has a great sense of humor. Someone who takes care of our children as if they were her own. We will do everything in our hands to make you feel at home with us. And if you have any worries or concerns, we would like you to be enough confidence to tell us about it. We want you to feel comfortable and have a pleasant experience.
By reading this letter, we hope you have an idea of how our family is. If you have any question, please don’t hesitate to contact us. We are looking forward to welcome you to our family.
Best regards.
