Hi!

My name is Cris, and I live with my son Nárayan (13 years old) in a charming town near Málaga. We also share our home with two lovely cats.

Nárayan speaks great German, and I am currently learning it (around level A1), so we would love to have someone around to practice with us!

What we are looking for:
We would appreciate your help with daily tasks such as cleaning, cooking, and some light maintenance around the house (like painting furniture or similar small projects).

Free time and weekends:
Many weekends, Nárayan goes away with his father, and I either travel, work from home, or simply take time to relax. You will have completely free Saturdays and Sundays, which is a wonderful opportunity to visit nearby towns and cities, or you are also very welcome to stay and relax at home if you prefer.

A little about our space and routine:
I really value my privacy and alone time, and since I also work in the living room, that space is reserved for my work hours. Additionally, Nárayan and I like to have our own private space together in the living room during lunchtime. However, we would love to share dinners together in the kitchen and enjoy nice conversations!

We are looking forward to meeting you and sharing a great experience together!

Warm regards,
Cris and Nárayan
