    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    We live in small town, 15 minutes from the beach and we really like to go there every weekend and some week days as well.
    In our town is everything that you need and we are only 15-20 minutes with car to Elche or Torrevieja.
    We also really like easy hikes with the kids or discover new places here near by.
    We have bikes and love almost all sorts of outdoor activities, we also have pool in our garden.

    Help

    We would like help with our youngest one from 9.15/9.30-12.30/12.45, while we work and the older ones are in summer-school/activities. Also we would love if you would be interested in cooking dinner some days.
    And just help us out with the house work or maybe laundry.

    We are looking for a big sister or someone nice that is willing to sit on the floor and play with toys.
    Someone who can colour with them, play cards or boardgames. Not someone who will see us as their boss.

    We would love to get a better hold of our Spanish, our kids can speak it and understand it better than us. And our oldest one is already starting to learn English.

    Everything is negotiable and its important to me that we keep communication honest and open and then we can work anything out.
