    Description

    My name is Susana and I'm 44 years old. I work as a music teacher at a secondary school. I have two wonderful children, ages 3 and 6. We're looking for a kind, energetic, and patient person who believes in respectful parenting. She would be responsible for helping with my children's care (feeding them breakfast, getting them ready for bed, etc.), playing with them in the park, and teaching them English in a natural way for a period of 10 months or more.
    We live in a house in a rural area, but we're just 10 minutes from the beach. Our house has a plot of land with fruit trees and a small vegetable garden, and is close to the town of Vilagarcía de Arousa. There's a horse riding center next door, and the Official Language School is 2 km away. Vilagarcía is a 15-minute train ride from Santiago de Compostela.


    Me llamo Susana y tengo 44 años. Trabajo como profesora de música en un instituto. Tengo dos hijos estupendos de 3 y 6 años. Buscamos a una persona amable con energía y paciencia, que crea en la crianza respetuosa. Se encargaría de ayudar en el cuidado de mis hijos (darles desayuno, prepararlos para dormir...), jugar con ellos en el parque, y enseñarles inglés de una manera natural por un periodo de tiempo de 10 meses o más.
    Vivimos en una casa en una zona rural, pero en 10min estamos en la playa. Nuestra casa tiene una finca con árboles frutales y un pequeño huerto, está cercana al núcleo urbano de Vilagarcía de Arousa. A nuestro lado hay un centro de equitación y tambíen a 2km está la Escuela Oficial de Idiomas. Vilagarcia está a 15min en tren de Santiago de Compostela.

    Creo en la calma, la ilusión y la paciencia como elementos vitales en cualquier proceso de aprendizaje. He estudiado Inglés durante muchos años, logro entenderlo pero me cuesta hablarlo correctamente.

  • Accommodation

    Accommodation

    A room in a country house. The house is in a rural area, but a 9-minute drive from the city center. For me, this house represents peace; it has beautiful views, is quiet, and offers fresh air. It has two floors, and you can choose a room with a bathroom upstairs (only you would be there on this floor) or stay downstairs with us.

    Una habitación en una casa de campo. La casa está en una zona rural pero a 9 minutos en coche del nucleo urbano. Para mi esta casa es la paz, tiene hermosas vistas, es tranquila y se respira aire puro. Tiene dos plantas y puedes escoger una habitación con baño en la parte superior (en esta planta sólo estarías tu) o en la planta inferior con nosotros.

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    You can easily get there by bike or on foot. There's also a bus line.
    My children are very cheerful, energetic, curious, and very fun.
    I like order and cleanliness. These rules are necessary for the happy coexistence of everyone living in the house.
    If you like gardening, you can enjoy it on the property, as well as peaceful walks in the surrounding area. There's a riding school next door, and in Vilagarcía, there are many gyms and a municipal swimming pool to exercise your body. When the weather permits, we like to go to the beach because even though we live in the countryside, the coast is very close; in fact, you can see the sea from home.
    We would love to meet you and have you work for us. Sincerely, Susana_Teo_Mauro.

    Se puede ir fácilmente en bicicleta o caminando. También hay una línea de autobus.
    Mis hijos son muy alegres, enérgicos , curiosos y muy divertidos.
    Me gusta el orden y la limpieza. Las normas son necesarias para la feliz convivencia de todos los que vivamos en casa.
    Si te gusta la jardinería puedes disfrutar de ella en la finca al igual que de tranquilos paseos por los alrededores, hay un centro hípico al lado, en Vilagarcía hay muchos gimnasios y piscina municipal para ejercitar tu cuerpo. Cuando el tiempo lo permite nos gusta ir a la playa, porque aunque vivamos en el rural la costa está muy cerca, de hecho se ve el mar desde casa.
    Nos gustaría conocerte y que trabajases para nosotros. Atentamente, Susana_Teo_Mauro.
