  Description

  Hi, we are a family of 5, and we live mountain - finca life in an lemon and orange tree orchard,
  
  We are looking for a lovely and warm au-pair to stay with us and join our everyday life.
  
  Our children are in the ages 5, 8 and 10 years. Their names are Ziggy, Sylvan and Anais.
  
  The house is a traditional Mallorquin finca, located in Soller, a very beautiful unesco village in the Tramuntana Mountains, with a garden of 4000m2 with orange and lemon trees.
  There are animals in and around the house. 2 donkeys, 2 cats and a small dog ( a Pug).
  
  Schedule: The mornings are free, till 2pm. The children finish their school then, if you have a drivers license, it would be great if you could pick up children from school, prepare the lunch with them, and we eat together and some playtime in the garden.
  Then it is appreciated if you could help to keep the house / kitchen tidy. I finish my work between 5 or 6.
  Occassionaly we will ask you to stay with the children on a Friday/ Saturday night.
  
  The children love doing crafts, art, play theatre and bake things. About us, we are creative people and we are both teachers, we can teach you about AI, building apps and other projects.
  
  For you there are very nice things to do. Although we live in the mountains, the town is just a 7 minute walk. Besides there are amazing hiking routes around our house, if you are up for a hike, we are always happy to take you around for some of the most amazing views of the island. The beach is also just 5 minute drive and the route is also beautiful hike (45 mins from our house) .
  Soller is a very vibrant village, there is also a weekly language cafe to meet other people.

  Help

  What you will be doing is:
  From 2 pm - pick up from school, cooking & preparing the table for lunch. My daughter is very chatty and she likes cooking and trying new recipes. Ideally also help me to keep the house and kitchen tidy.
  
  I'm planning to do some furniture upcycling, as we have lots of space and lots of drawers, tables and other things that could get a second life. So if you are up for that, we have endless possibilities. :)
