  Help

  *We're looking for a neat, friendly, trustworthy, responsible, native English-Speaker (or with bilingual English level) to come and stay with us during three weeks in August and a help and give us a hand with our son.
  
  First week which would be adaptation week, he'd be going to a summer camp in his school, so he'd need to be picked up aroung 4-5pm and the other two weeks, he will have holidyay, so he'd be at home with the workawayer in the morning till his mum arrive home around 2.30-3pm-
  
  The person would have wake him up in the mornings, giving him breakfast, and enterteing him while we work (taking him to the park, playing at home, reading books etc).
  
  As we're raising him bilingual, you would have to communicate with Miguel always in English, and help him to learn the language more in depth.
  
  Furthermore, the person would help with the light house duties when required (including cleaning the cats' stuff if needed) and once in a while, babysitting duties as well.
  
  Also we'd provide a private double bedded room and a bathroom (only to be share with Miguel). To keep your own room and bathroom tidy and clean would be part of your duties too. Also full board is provided (we are not vegetarians but if you are, we can cook veggie meals for you as well). We're not in the mornings weekdays, so you might have to cook your own lunch, and during weekends.
  You'd be required to work the mornings from Mon to Friday , having the afternoons, evenings and weekends and Public Holidays off . Only non smokers please.
