    Description

    Hello!,

    We are a family consisting of Marian (Mum), Jose (Dad), Ines (10 years old daughter) and Nil (5 years old). We live in Torrejón de Ardoz, a city very well connected by train, bus and road, 20 kilometers from the center of Madrid.
    Marian is working for automotive company into the HHRR department, and Jose is working as a Service Technician for a german company, into the food industry.
    We would need someone to take care of the children.

    June:
    During this month the timetable for school is different, as in the beginning they have continuous day. We would need you to get them up in the morning around 7.15, and they finish around 13:00, and they have no classes during the evening.
    Here it would be eating with them, doing homework with Inés and playing with them until I arrive.
    July:
    During the weeks we have to work, the children will go to a summer camp in our city. We would need you to get them up in the morning around 8, have breakfast and take them to the camp that usually starts at 9:00, then we would pick them up at 14:00, eat together and play until I get home from work.
    You can play with them in the park or refreshing in the pool at home, it's small but there's a bigger one for all the neighbors.

    It would never be more than 5 hours in weekly calculation.

    We would also like them to be having English classes with you. When that´s finished, just enjoy and play with them, or some help with fold clothes until approximately 19:30. We mainly need an extra hand at home to help us.

    We would also like to organize two babysitting days a month during the weekend so that we can have some couple time, for example to go to dinner or go to a concert.

    We have the pool near our house (open from June to September).

    At home we want to speak only in English, so we need the person who comes to have a high level of English. We can try to speak some Spanish with you.
