Description
We are a family of 4 (a mum with three children aged 14, 12, and 10). I'm divorced with shared custody: they live 1 week with me and 1 week at their father's house. We live be in Madrid city.
On 12 september I'll go through a medical procedure and I'll not be able to go with my little daughter to school the weeks after it. My parents will take care of me, but I would love to find someone who can take my daugher to and from the school and spend some time with the children in the afternoons, doing the school and home chores and other fun things.
Some indications you need to agree before writing me:
* I occasionally drink some beer or wine, and while I don't have any problem sharing a glass of wine or beer with you, I don't like any drunk people around me or my kids. Obviously, other drugs are not permitted.
* I know you are a good caring person... but I don't want any adult staying alone with any of my children in their bedrooms or bathroom or anywhere too private. Any game with them involving secrets or touching their or your body is also forbidden. They know already what behavior is healthy and what is harmful. They will inform me if anything wrong happens, and I will tell the police immediately.
* If you have any eating or mental disorder, please seek and receive help before writing us. We'll be still here when you get back to health.
* I expect you to take care of your personal space and let things neat behind you.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Madrid is a very welcoming city with vibrant cultural life and you'll have plenty of free time to explore the city. My kids are half Spanish and half Mexicans, they can show you a lot of places and "translate" any cultural concern you could have.

Help
There will be some home chores and easy maintenance to do.
The most important thing is to take my daughter to and from the school (30 min trip by metro) and spend some time with them in the afternoons the weeks they are at home.

Accommodation
We live in a little house in Madrid, near my parents house. My kids and I will stay at my parent's home the first week after my procedure (until I feel better and capable to move by myself), so you'll be on your own at my home those days.
You'll have your own individual bedroom with a little balcony, sharing the bathroom with my kids.
What else ...
In Madrid there are plenty of things to do and interesting places to visit. On the weeks my kids are with his father you'll be free to take days off to visit also the surroundings in Castilla: Historical cities like Toledo, Segovia, Aranjuez or Sigüenza are easily reachable by train or bus in 30'-2h.
