    Description

    We are a family consisting of two adults (my husband and I), two girls aged 9 and 14, a Labrador Retriever, and a cat. During July, my husband and I work mornings, so I would like to host a young woman, over 20 years old, to look after the girls in the mornings, help with some housework, and also do some summer activities. Our house is large, with its own pool and garden, and we live just 200 meters from the beach on the Costa del Sol. I think it could be a wonderful experience for everyone!

    Somos una familia integrada por dos adultos (mi marido y yo), dos niñas de 9 y 14 años, un perro (labrador) y una gatita. Durante el mes de Julio mi marido y yo trabajamos por las mañanas, por lo que me gustaría recibir a una chica, mayor de 20 años, para que se quede al cuidado de las niñas durante las mañanas, realicen alguna tarea del hogar, así como actividades de ocio propias del verano. Nuestra casa es grande, tiene piscina propia y jardín, y además vivimos a 200m de la playa en plena Costa del Sol. Creo que la experiencia puede ser muy bonita para todos!!!

    We primarily welcome an English-speaking au pair so the whole family can practice our English (especially my daughters). During the mornings, she will help with household chores, such as doing laundry, sweeping the living room, and most importantly, spending time with the girls playing, in the pool, or at the beach!

    Necesitamos principalmente una Au Pair de habla inglesa, para que toda la familia podamos practicar nuestro inglés (en especial mis hijas). Durante la mañana realizará tareas propias del hogar junto con ellas: como poner una lavadora, barrer el salón y sobre todo, pasar tiempo con las niñas jugando, en la piscina ,o la playa!!!

  • Accommodation

    Accommodation

    Large detached house with its own garden and pool; very quiet, located in a safe residential area of a small coastal town, very well situated with bus, taxi, and Bolt services just 200 meters from the house. The Workaway host will have a separate bedroom on the first floor with an en-suite bathroom (with shower) next door. The other bedrooms are on the second floor, so the Workaway host will enjoy complete privacy during their stay. The house is very clean; I have a weekly cleaning service, which will continue throughout the Workaway host's stay. We cook homemade meals daily, and it would be great to exchange recipes and try our guest's cooking; therefore, I would appreciate it if they knew how to cook a few dishes.

    Vivienda unifamiliar grande, con jardín y piscina propios; muy tranquila, situada en zona residencial muy segura de un pequeño pueblo de costa muy bien localizado y con servicios de bus, taxi, bolt/etc a 200m de la casa. La workawayer disfrutará de un dormitorio independiente situado en la primera planta, con baño (con ducha) al lado. El resto de dormitorios están en la segunda planta, por lo que la workawayer disfrutará de total intimidad durante la estancia. La casa está muy limpia, tengo un servicio de limpieza semanal contratado, que por su puesto se mantiene durante la estancia de la workawayer. La comida es casera, cocinamos a diario y estaría genial intercambiar recetas y probar la cocina de nuestra invitada; por lo que me gustaría que supiera cocinar algunos platos.
