  • Description

    Description

    We are Judith and Marc, we are around 43-47 years old. Marc works in a high school as a computer teacher and Judith works in a high school too as a psychologist.

    We are proud parents of two children. Norah is 10 years old and she is really happy, active and talkative. She plays the piano and plays basketball. She learns quickly and speaks English propertly. Roger was born in December in 2014, so he is 8 years old. He plays the flute and plays basketball.

    Marc goes cycling (mountain bike) and sometimes goes for country walks. Judith is a quiet person who likes staying at home with the family, restoring antiques, reading books and sometimes walking around.

    We need an au pair to start in April and stay with us until at least the mid of July (but we can be flexible about it).

    We are not looking for a person for cleaning or cooking. We just want to be like an "older sister" for Norah and Roger. We have decided to find an au pair because we are interested in languages, and our first priority is that Norah and Roger learn English with a native speaker and we also want to practice some English to become more fluent. Norah speaks English but Roger is a starter ;)

    We are also looking for someone who loves children, who is friendly, out-going and chatty. She will look after Norah/Roger and do light housework such as preparing children’s meals, help tidy up their room, etc… just Norah’s and Roger stuff. We also want to focus on children’s learning, habits and development in general.

    What else ...

    We don’t know what your hobbies and interests are, but the place where we live there are a lot of things to do. We will be pleased to help you to feel comfortable as much as we can.

    Girona, from our point of view, is a well located place. One hour from the coast, the mountains and Barcelona. We live in a house pretty near to the city center (a 10 minute walk, 5 minutes by bus) and close to nature and mountains. Girona is a small city (100.000 citizens) but it has a lot of shops, bus station, train station, etc.. Barcelona is one hour by train! It's really close to.

    We also spend some weekends, Easter week and one month in the summer on the coast in Sant Antoni de Calonge (next to Platja d'Aro). It's our summer apartment. It's so nice!
