    Description

    Hello! We are a family of three living in a small village in the Ribera area of Valencia. Ten minutes away is Xátiva, a town with over 30,000 inhabitants offering all kinds of services, such as supermarkets, leisure areas, buses, trains... It is one of the oldest towns in the Mediterranean, and you can visit its castle with Iberian and Roman settlements. There is a train service to Valencia (45 minutes). Just 5 minutes from home, in Vilanova de Castelló, there is a metro stop on line 1 that connects you to the centre of Valencia in 1 hour. You can go hiking along the Júcar River, the most important river in the Valencian Community. Nearby is the Navarrés area, with its water routes and wonderful landscapes, and the natural landscape of La Murta, in Alzira, where you can lose yourself in the mountains with spectacular views of the sea. We have pets, two dogs, so we need help with domestic chores and especially looking after the children, Alex, 10, and Arya, 5, in exchange for accommodation and meals. It would be 5 days a week, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. and from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m., with weekends off.
