  Description

  Hello!
  We are a family of 4, with 2 children aged 7 and 4 years old. We’ve lived in Germany (Munich) until February 2021 (both kids were born there), and then moved back to Benalmádena (Málaga, Andalusia), where we originally come from. We both parents can speak Spanish, English, a bit of French and German (mother B2 level and father A2 level). We like sports, cooking and meeting friends and the family.
  Lucas goes to elementary school. He is very sweet and likes super heroes and riding his bike. He can be shy at the beginning but gets easily enrolled in games once the ice is broken.
  Vera is 4 years old. She is an active happy girl that gets alone with everyone and has also started elementary school.
  We are looking for a native speaking German au pair to help our kids to keep their German alive. We are a young (fortysomthing :) ), easygoing couple that enjoys sports and spending time with family and friends. We would be happy to find someone with good babysitting skills that is willing to become part of our family for a while :).

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  At home you would be integrated in our Andalusian family. We love sharing our culture, food and traditions. If you wish to visit the rest of Andalusia, Málaga is in a perfect location to travel to Granada, Sevilla, Córdoba, etc. If you want to learn Spanish, there are several Language Schools in Benalmádena and of course Málaga.

  Help

  We both parents work, so the au pair should help us get kids ready in the morning, possibly pick them up from school (around 16:00, driving license would be a plus, but not a must), and take care of them until 19-20:00h approx. Additionally, the au pair should help with the normal light daily house chores (load/unload dish washer, vacuuming, etc.) So working hours are not expected to exceed the 20 hours/week. Weekends would be free, unless exception.

  Accommodation

  We live in a house with 3 bedrooms, one for the parents, one shared by the kids, and a third one, that will be the room of the au pair. It has a bed, a desk and room to store her clothes and personal belongings. The house has a nice patio, swimming pool and outdoor space.
  We live in the “Costa del Sol”, a wonderful place, visited by thousands of tourists every year. This is in Andalucía, with the best weather conditions of the region. The city center (Benalmádena/Arroyo de la Miel) and the train to Málaga city are just 15 and 10 minutes away from home by foot, respectively. There is also a bus station just 1 min away from home and as well as access to supermarkets, bar, bakeries, etc.
  
  Food will be provided by us, the au pair is of course welcome to participate in our family meals or prepare her own food using the kitchen, if desired. We enjoy trying different recipes and cooking styles, so the food is a way of cultural exchange of us.
