Details

  Description

  We are a family of four. I'm Mimi, 32 years old and my husband is Cristian, 34, and we have our son, Abe who is 5 and a half, and Jacob, who is 13, almost 14 months. We are both English teachers and currently teaching online at the moment while our oldest son goes to school. We enjoy being around people and learning about other cultures. We would just like someone to come and stay with us and help out with a bit of babysitting and perhaps cooking, too and just really feel like part of the family!

  Creating/ Cooking family meals

  Help around the house

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  They would get the chance to be in a wonderful location, we are in a very friendly neighbourhood called Teatinos, and we have a bus stop right outside our door that can take you directly to the city center and the beach in about 15-20 minutes. Malaga has a lot to offer both culturally and in terms of art and music, too, it has many great museums and things going on.
  
  We are a couple from mixed backgrounds, husband being (Italian/Colombian) and myself being (British/American). We haven't been here too long, however we have travelled and lived in many places such as Portugal, Spain, US, UK & Holland etc. There is also the possibility of weekend trips to other cities in Spain, to get to know more of the country.

  Help

  We have a fun, lively 5 and a half year old boy and and an active 13 month old too. We both work as English teachers from home at the moment, however from time to time we work at the same time and we would need someone to help looking after mainly our youngest son, Jacob and playing with him, and also occasionally as well as helping out with meals.

  Can host digital nomads

  We could host digital nomads as we have a decent internet connection, although we do work from home quite a bit ourselves teaching while using video. Just as long as our connection works and are able to continue working ourselves, it's not an issue.

  Can possibly accept pets

  It really depends on the pet, perhaps small sized dogs that are very tamed and friendly and as long as you clean up after them, it's fine. We don't have a huge place so just small dogs.
