Description
Hi
We are a relaxed family, I am looking for some help with the children and house whilst I am working, I work in tourism my partner owns a bar in a busy tourist area. We live in the first of the mountain region town in a place called Andratx on the beautiful island of Mallorca.
Mallorca is great there are many wonderful beaches and the city of Palma to explore or you can just take it easy and enjoy some of the great fiesta's that always seem to be on up and down the island.
I have three children Twelve, Eight and Three years old. I am looking for someone to come as soon as possible so please feel free to get in touch asap.
I need help with general housework and of course taking care of the children, we are quite self sufficient but its nice for the older children to go to the beach or to the local pool on days when we are working.
I am looking for someone to come for longer duration if possible but would consider other lengths of stay as well. We could be suitable for someone taking a break from College or University for the summer. We speak English & Spanish in our house and my partner is French.
My children are well behaved and are used to meeting different people, we have always had help around in the summer and we enjoy being Workaway hosts.
We do have a room for you but we only have one bathroom in our house, it is a typical old Spanish townhouse that we are still renovating so please make sure you are not too fussy about where you are staying. We do not have a pool but we live very close to many beaches and we have a pool for use within a 15 minute walk from our house which is a communal pool for everyone in the village, there are also many local bars and cafe's and weekly market on a Wednesday. Everything is accessible by bus but we do have an old car someone could possibly use from time to time.
Please get in contact if you are interested in joining us

We will provide a private room in the house for your stay, we live in an old townhouse the village we live in is very socialable you are not isolated, everyone will make you feel very welcome
We have only one bathroom in our house. the house is a bit old and still needs a bit of work but it is comfortable It doesn't matter if you smoke as long as its outside . We only smoke when we drink too much wine !
We do have a cat that comes in to eat about 17.00 each day but he stays out in the night otherwise he wakes you up.
What else ...
Mallorca is a wonderful tourist island so pretty full of beautiful beaches and lovely houses. There is also a great capital city with many vibrant sights and sounds to be experienced. You can also visit Barcelona easily and other Balearic islands like Ibiza and Menorca on the ferry. The island is driven by tourism but also famous for for many sporting activities such as climbing, cylcling. There are many mountains, olive trees and groves and of course many great beaches. It is a great place to stay for a few chilled out months to relax and unwind and then continuing your travels further afield
