Description
We are a semi-bilingual family (Spanish-English) of four, based closed to the airport in a residential area of Madrid, who would like to get our girls of 9 and 12 years of age to meet people from different nationalities and cultures while learning and practicing English.
We would like to find a friendly native English female speaker to spend some time with us this summer and help us with some English teaching and language practise with our two girls.

What else ...
Another neighbour is actually considering looking for similar arrangement, so we may well be able to offer this opportunity to two different persons in two different families in the area, so perfectly suitable for a couple of friends who would like to be based pretty closed (5 min walk) to share activities during free time.
