Description
GB:
Since October/November 2020 we made our very positive experience with workawayer. They takes a lot of pressure off us to balance household, garden, cat, shopping, sports, company, young daughter (born 12/2013), holiday home management and more. Now we are looking new for 2023/24, when there is a lot of work in our company here and the women in charge has to go to Germany some times.
And also, so that it doesn't get boring, we bought a house in 2021. We rebuild and renovated it a little over the summer of '21, since September ´21 we are living in it. Not all is perfect now, but we have a lot of space now for guests and for garden projects too.

DE:
Seit Oktober/November 2020 machten wir sehr positive Erfahrung mit Workawayern. Sie entlasteten uns sehr, Haushalt, Garten, Katze, Einkauf, Sport, Firma, junge Tochter (geb. 12/2013), Ferienhausverwaltung und mehr, unter einen Hut zu bringen. Nun suchen wir neu für 2023/24, wenn es in unserer Firma hier viel Arbeit gibt, und die Chefin immer wieder mal nach Deutschland muss.
Und außerdem, damit es nicht langweilig wird, haben wir 2021 ein Haus gekauft. Dies haben wir über den Sommer ´21 umgebaut und renoviert, seit September ´21 wohnen wir darin, auch wenn noch nicht alles fertig und perfekt ist.
In jedem Fall haben wir nun viel Platz, auch für Gäste und für Gartenprojekte.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
GB:
We speak German and English fluently, we are improving our Spanish every day. The little one speaks almost perfect Spanish and English through school. Therefore we are open to anyone who is a native speaker of at least one of these three languages. Perfectly we would find someone who speaks Spanish as a native speaker, then we would switch to Spanish at home. Of course we will also teach you German if you like.
--------------------------------
DE:
Wir sprechen Deutsch und Englisch fließend, unser Spanisch verbessern wir täglich. Die Kleine spricht durch die Schule perfekt Spanisch und Englisch. Daher sind wir offen für jeden, der mind. eine dieser drei Sprachen muttersprachlich spricht. Perfekterweise finden wir jemanden der muttersprachlich Spanisch spricht, dann würden wir zu Hause auf Spanisch umstellen. Natürlich bringen wir dir auch Deutsch bei, wenn du magst.

Help
GB:
Come to us in Guatiza, situated in the heart of Lanzarote, a relaxed Canary Islands which is a part of Spain.
In our house with a big garden we will take care of all tasks together and of the child care. You don't have to know how to cook, if you are able to cook this will not be criterion for exclusion!
(We are not vegetarians, so it is extra effort for us to accommodate vegetarians. We will clarify this on a case-by-case basis. Unfortunately we cannot offer a stay to people who are vegan.)
From 09:00 h to 16:00/17:30 h our daughter is at school. At the meantime you have your free time.
Apart from your trip and special private activities, there are no further costs for you, with a small car you will be mobile for exploring the island on your own account.

DE:
Komm zu uns nach Guatiza, im Herzen Lanzarotes, einer entspannten Kanareninsel die zu Spanien gehört.
In unserem Haus mit großem Garten kümmern wir uns gemeinsam um alle anfallenden Aufgaben und um die Kinderbetreuung. Kochen musst du/ihr nicht können, kochen zu können ist aber kein Ausschlusskriterium!
(wir sind keine Vegetarier, daher ist es zusätzlicher Aufwand für uns, Vegetarier zu beherbergen. Dies werden wir im Einzelfall abklären. Veganern können wir leider keinen Aufenthalt anbieten.)
Von 09:00 h bis 16:00/17:30 h ist unsere Tochter in der Schule. In der Zwischenzeit hast du Freizeit.
Neben deiner Anreise und besonderen privaten Aktivitäten, fallen für dich keine weiteren Kosten an, mit einem kleinen Auto bist du mobil und kannst die Insel auf eigen Faust erkunden.

GB: We are a german family living in spain. So to find a mothertongue or perfectly spanish speaking workawayer would be great, for improving our speaking skills at home. Native English is of course also ok (and German anyway) DE: Wir sind eine deutsche Familie, leben in Spanien. Daher suchen wir gerne eine muttersprachliche(n) Spanier(in), um unsere Spanischkenntnisse auch im täglichen Leben zu Hause zu verbessern. Muttersprachlich Englisch ist natürlich auch ok (und deutsch sowieso).
