  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 from 9h to 15h.
  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 April until the end or July or August ideally.
  Ideally a woman odler than 25 years old, with her own car or driving licence for manual cars.

  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.

  We have a 900m2 plot of land with a vegetable garden and lots of trees in a forested neighborhood.
  
  We offer 2 meals a day. We try to eat organic food, no processed foods, which we cook ourselves. We have a small garden there, where we try to eat as much as possible when I have time to take care of it.
