Description
I’m a 68-year-old woman from Spain, currently living in Málaga. I’m active, warm, and always curious to discover new cultures and ways of life. My motivation is to travel, meet people from different countries, and contribute with my time, experience, and positive spirit.
I have two grown children and three lovely granddaughters (ages 11, 8, and 3), and I truly enjoy spending time with children. I’m also very experienced with home tasks: I’ve worked as a housekeeper in hotels in London, and as a cook in a restaurant for over 10 years. I’ve also coordinated an ironing workshop and I’m a qualified hairdresser.
I speak Spanish fluently and basic English, and I love learning through real-life experiences. I’m very social, open-hearted, respectful, and always ready to help. My hobbies include reading and discovering other cultures — and I believe every place has something beautiful to teach us.
Now, I’m looking for kind, respectful hosts who are open to sharing their culture while allowing me to support them in everyday life, especially in the home.

More details about your skills
I bring a wide range of practical skills, life experience, and a strong work ethic. I’ve worked professionally as a cook for over 10 years in a restaurant, and I’m comfortable preparing meals for families, including traditional Spanish food and simple, healthy dishes. I’m also a qualified hairdresser, which is something many hosts and families find useful!
I have experience as a housekeeper in hotels in London, so I’m very familiar with cleaning, organizing, and keeping a home warm and welcoming. I’ve also worked as a coordinator in an ironing workshop, so I’m efficient with laundry and garment care.
As a mother and grandmother, I naturally enjoy spending time with children. I’ve helped care for my three granddaughters, and I’m patient, caring, and attentive with little ones.
In addition to my professional background, I’m highly social and enjoy connecting with people. I’m a good communicator, respectful, and reliable. I’m happy to help with cooking, cleaning, childcare, organizing, and general support in the home.

What else ...
I enjoy reading, especially historical novels and biographies. I love having long conversations over coffee or a meal. I'm also interested in learning about local traditions and family recipes wherever I go.
I like walking, being in nature, and helping with simple gardening tasks if needed. I enjoy playing simple board games or cards with children or adults — and I’m always open to learning new games!
I'm a naturally cheerful and adaptable person. I value kindness, honesty, and respect. I’m also a light packer, easy-going, and not afraid of getting my hands dirty when help is needed.
I'm happy to share stories about life in Spain or even teach you how to cook a traditional Spanish tortilla!
