  Description

  I am a Mom with two children, ages 3 and 5, and two dogs. We live in a wooden ecological house in the forest, inside Montnegre Park, located 20 minutes from the beach and 30 minutes from Montseny. I am an osteopath and work both indoors and outdoors and I need support to look after the children while I work . My children attend a Waldorf school at 5 min from home. We are French and have been here for many years. My children speak French, Catalan, and Spanish.
  I value respectful parenting, alternative education, healthy eating, sports, alternative and natural medicine, the environment, culture...
  My kids watch the screen only during the week-end and to video call the family. I do not want the workawayer to use screens to entertain children, it is important.
  I ask for a minimum of 3 months from March until the end or July or August.

  Yo soy osteopata, trabajo en casa y fuera de casa y necesito apoyo para cuidar de los niños mientras trabajo.
  Mis hijos van a una escuela Waldorf a 5 minutos de casa
  Somos franceses y llevamos muchos años aquí, mis hijos hablan frances, catalan y español.
  Valoro una crianza respetuosa, la educación alternativa, la alimentación saludable, el deporte, la medicina alternativa y natural, el medio ambiente, la cultura…
  
  Mis hijos solo usan pantallas durante el fin de semana y para hacer videollamadas con la familia. No quiero que la persona workawayer utilice pantallas para entretener a los niños; es algo importante para mí.
  
  Solicito un compromiso mínimo de 3 meses, desde marzo hasta finales de julio o agosto.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  We are French and also speak English, Spanish, and Catalan. We have a garden with a vegetable patch, our house is eco-friendly, and we don't have a TV. The area is home to a large community of families with young children and many private schools. We love sports, both mountain and gravel biking. We have practiced yoga for many years and have an ice bath.

  Help

  I need help taking care of the children, and I occasionally help at home with cleaning, cooking, and putting away laundry. The children are doing a lot of free play. We have a hut with a sandbox in the garden. They have friends who live nearby who we can invite, or wherever they can go with the person who cares for them. In the summer, we'll probably set up a small pool.
  
  necesito apoyo para cuidar a los niños, y puntualmente apoyo en casa para limpiar, cocinar, guardar la ropa.
  los niños están haciendo mucho juego libre, en el jardin tenemos una cabaña con un arenero, tienen amigos que viven por la zona que podemos invitar o adonde pueden el con la persona que los cuida. en verano probablemente montaremos una piscinita.
