    Description

    ❤ Hola!
    We're Uri and Laura (both 46 y.o.) and our daughter Bruna (16) and our son Gael (11)

    We need a cheerful and responsible person to help us with some household repairs and improvements, along sharing with us with some house chores on weekdays.

    Minimum stay: 3 weeks.
    We prefer to host people with references.

    WHERE WE LIVE
    We live in El Masnou, a beach village that has good connections to Barcelona (it's only 25 minutes away by train or car).
    We live in a house with a small garden

    MORE ABOUT US:
    Our daughter loves to play volleyball and rock climbing. Our son, Gael, likes to play volleyball and video games.
    We enjoy welcoming foreign people into our home and engaging in cultural exchange. It is like traveling and learning languages without ever leaving the house.

    Some things you should know about us:
    - We speak Catalan at home, with our friends, and family. We are also proficient in Spanish and have some knowledge of English.
    - We have a cat.
    - We have both vegetarian and omnivore diets (Uri is vegetarian, but Laura and the kids are not).
