  Descripción

  We are a family of husband and wife and 2 kids aged 9 and 11 (a boy and a girl) living in a house 15 minutes from the center of Alicante City. We have a lovely garden of about 2000 sqm with tall trees giving it a great feeling of living in the countryside. It is very peaceful yet close to the big city and the beach. We have a small swimming pool. There are also some animals like chickens a duck and a parrot. We also have fast internet with fiber. We are an easygoing family. We speak Norwegian, English, and Shona. The kids speak Spanish but our Spanish is unfortunately not good so mastery of English is neccessary. You will get your own bedroom and bathroom although in periods we will be fixing up the bathroom and then you will share with the rest of the family.
  
  We are going to fix up the house - mostly on the inside. Apart from that we also have continous work with keeping the garden looking nice. It is an established garden but there is always some work to be done.

  Intercambio cultural y oportunidades de aprendizaje

  You will be exposed tho Norwegian, Spanish and Shona (Zimbabwean) culture. You can eat traditional Scandinavian, Spanish and Southern African food and if you want to practice Norwegian, Spanish (with the kids) or even Shona (with wife or our to grown up daughters (who do not live with us but visit often)). We are very close to some genuine Spanish restaurants where you will be hard pressed to spot a single tourist. But if you want the tourist scene Alicante City is just a 15 minute drive away.

  Ayuda

  We are fixing up the inside of the house so that is what we mostly need help with. So looking for someone who has some experince with diy projects or at least is not afraid to use a hammer and saw (or the electrical equivalent). Sometimes we just need a helping pair of hands. Someone who is good at organizing would be extremely appreciated. We would prefer someone who loves animals and nature. If you have gardening experience that would be great but if not that is also OK.

  Alojamiento

  Algo más...

  We are very flexible regarding work hours. If you want to have a day off you can make up for it on other days. There is a taxi for bus service that allows you to take a taxi to town for the same price as you pay for bus. Once you are in Alicante there is a myriad of ways to get around. We also have two cars so in some cases one of them could be made available. Great if you have a drivers license but not a requirement.
