Description
Hi! We are a family of 4 (2 adults, 1 four years-old boy and 1 adult female cat). We live in Spain (Rincón de Beniscornia, Murcia, more specifically). Adela is an early years educator. Daniel is a painter and illustrator. Darío is an adorable 4 years-old boy. Gachica is the cat.
Right now we are going to school every morning from Monday to Friday (Darío), working as a teacher (Adela) and studying and working from home (Daniel). We are also trying to spend some family time during afternoons and weekends, meeting friends and family or exploring new places or activities. We live in a small village close to the city. Murcia is just 15 minutes far away by bicycle. There are buses every day too. Besides, we have nature around.
Daniel is in love with the new knowledge he is learning. He could spend every hour of the day in front of the laptop. He also enjoys sharing all he knows about it.
Adela’s passion is childhood. She is always reading something about infant psychology. She also enjoys having a sustainable way of living and she loves learning new things about almost everything.
Darío is passionate about pirates and astronauts (this may have changed the day you arrive to our family).

Help around the house
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We are looking for someone willing to be a member of our family, enjoying the time together and learning from each other. We speak fluent English and can manage with French. Something of German also but not much. Spanish is our first language and what we talk at home. We would like someone fluent in English to easier communication but we don’t mind if you have a different mother tongue. Of course, we are totally open to different cultures, religions, sex or gender orientations. Something more about us. We practice attachment parenting and we are rising him without yelling, threatening or anything that could harm him (at least we try). All the love is never enough.
We could offer you a warm home, a safe place to stay meanwhile you enjoy life in Spain. You could learn everything of our culture and everything we know we would share it with you.

Help
We need someone to help at home with cleaning and also to play sometime with Darío in English, as we want him to learn this language in a ludo way.
Darío is a big story creator and he loves playing with his Lego or PlayMobil, also dressing up as any kind of superhero and going to the park to meet his friends. Playing with him is super easy as long as you enjoy going back to your childhood.
As we are living together, we ask you to take some responsibilities in the daily duties. For example, cooking, washing the dishes or going to supermarket for common products. This duties will be shared with us. So, imagine one day Daniel has gone to the groceries and Adela has prepared the meal for everybody at home. So we expect you to wash the dishes. This duties doesn't count in the 16 hours of work at home.
The 16 hours of work at home will be divided between playing with Darío and extra cleaning tasks (to vacuum the house, to water the plants, to tidy up Darío's toys, etc.).

I studied English and French at high school. Right now, I’ve forgotten almost all my French but still can understand a lot. I was an aupair in Germany for two months and also learnt some German there. Thanks to having friends all around the world, Im fluent in English.
