    • We offer a quite big private room for Barcelona in a calm and well-organized apartment with regular cleaning service.
    • Located conveniently, it’s just 15 minutes from the city center and 30 minutes from the lovely and relaxing Gavà beaches by public transport.
    • Family dinners and all meals included.

    👩‍💻 About Us:
    • Justyna works remotely, mostly from home, she is a CEO of a PR firm and also runs some other projects and tries to combine all of this with travelling, camping, activities. Always full of ideas, always short on time. I likeoutdoors and alwayswant to spend more time in the outdoors, I'm very well orgnized and productive person running 2 small businesses, I'm also planning to build an eco village in Poland, I love couchsurfig, meeting people, and interesting talks.
    • Nina attends a preschool 7-15 min away by foot, and she loves her fireds at school, she likes talking and being listened to, she has an active brain, and physicaly she is also very active, she is interested in travelling and camping as well, she loves writing drawing, reading and learning.

    🗓️ Your tasks might include:

    Morning: Help Nina with her morning routine or take her to school at 9:00 AM
    Afternoon: Pick Nina up from school or assist with her evening routine.
    Daytime: While Nina is at school (9:00 AM - 4:30/6:00 PM) you might have some tasks as groceries, helping me out in some small tasks.
    We typically start our day around 8, and Nina falls asleep around 9:00 PM.

    Your support will be needed on the weekends when we are in Barcelona – usually in blocks of no more than 4 hours, for example, I might be going to a yoga class, or I might be working some extra hours or I might need just some rest. There are some weekends that we will needyor help and some weekends that we are not at home, as we travel. This will vary a lot depending on my work/projects.

    If you like traveling and camping and can help me out to organize different trips, that would be amazing. I have a driving licence, not the best driver ever but always managed to get safely to the destination point and back.

    🌿 Our Lifestyle:
    We value a healthy lifestyle but we like to enjoy life as well.
    Nina is under psychological care as she sometimes struggles with her emotions.
    Our home is a peaceful place, ideal for learning or working, with a comfortable coworking space in the living room and a yoga mat always ready for a bit of yoga or stretching. We also have quite a lot of sports and camping equipment and a projector to watch movies. ☺️

    💼 Who We’re Looking For:
    A well-organized girl who can efficiently help us with daily routines and tasks and celebrate the end of the day by having dinner with us (don't worry, you don't have to eat with us every night, your meal will be waiting for you in the kitchen if you happen to spend the evening out).
    Maintain a warm, supportive, and homey atmosphere.
    Cleanliness and order are very important to us.
    This is a lovely sharing experience.
    It's good if you truly enjoy spending time with a preschooler.
