    Description

    Hello, my name is Isabel. I am 44 years old and I live in Santander. Sergio is my husband, he is 43 years old. We have two children, Valentina (8 years old) and Victor (6 years old). We are a very sociable family, we love being with people and doing activities. Victor and Valentina are very cheerful and affectionate. They like to talk to people and have a lot of energy. We like to go to the beach, ride a bike, music, visit places of interest.
    We live very close to Santander, in Maliaño. It is 5 km from the center of Santander. It is very well connected, 10/15 minutes by train or bus, 5 minutes if you go by car.
    Santander is a very beautiful city. If you like the sea, it has spectacular beaches for bathing, playing sports or walking along its cliffs.
    There are many cultural activities, museums, the Botín Center and many people enjoying themselves in the streets.
    If you like nature and the mountains, you can visit the Picos de Europa, go hiking, take the Fuente Dé cable car, visit the Cabárceno Natural Park (where the animals are free), the Cueva del Soplao, and visit many places of interest. tourist like the towns of Comillas, Santillana del Mar, Potes, San Vicente de la Barquera...
    Santander is very close to Bilbao, one hour away, and also has a direct flight to Madrid and Barcelona.

    We have hosted several workaways over de past few years and the experience has been wonderful. We need an English-speaking girl, preferably native, to take care of the children 4-5 hours a day, Monday to Friday. You will have to talk to them in English, play in English, etc. in the afternoon. Also join us in extracurricular activities. The rest of the time you will be free to do what you want. You don't have to do household chores, except help with basic tasks that the rest of us do (tidy up your room, your bathroom, set and clear the table, etc.).
