  Description

  We are an Ecuadorian family that lives on the outskirts of Quito, a valley with a warm climate with several ecotourism routes around it, we live in a house with two cats, a dog, a rabbit (all rescued), due to our activities many times we are not enough with the house arrangements and someone who can support us with that would be very helpful, we have space to house an extra person, at home the two daughters speak Spanish, English and Italian so we would love to practice with a workaway, I went myself I workedaway in Europe and I enjoyed my experience a lot, as well as I learned many things, so our goal is that whoever helps us feel the most comfortable in the world and can take advantage of visiting our country. In whatever way we can help guide and connect you, with pleasure.

  Help

  Normally what we need is someone to help with small things in the house, such as helping with small damages that I usually do, but because of work at the moment, time does not allow me (for example, fix a curtain, prune plants, maintain the surroundings of the house), company for my parents, who can offer them delicious Ecuadorian food, and they would love the experience of dealing with other people, finally for March we require the help of someone who can take care of our pets full time.
  
  Normalmente lo que necesitamos es alguien que ayude con cosas pequeñas de la casa, como ayudar con pequeños desperfectos que usualmente lo hacia yo pero por el trabajo al momento el tiempo no me permite (por ejemplo arreglar alguna cortina, podar plantas, mantener los alrededores de la casa), compañía para mis padres, que pueden ofrecerles deliciosa comida ecuatoriana, y les encantaría la experiencia de tratar con otras personas, finalmente para marzo requerimos ayuda de alguien que pueda encargarse del cuidado de nuestras mascotas a tiempo completo.
