Descripción
We are a family of 5, our three girls are 14, 16 and 18 years old. We also have four cats and two dogs. We are a lively family and always have people around. The girls are happy and open minded youngsters and love making new friends. You would immediately be part of the family.
My husband is English and I am German. As a family, we speak English and German, but the girls would like to improve their German. They go to Spanish school and speak Spanish in their day to day routine and with their friends . We would like to have a Native German speaker with us to have more opportunity to speak German.
During the day everybody is at school/work, but in the afternoons we would love to have somebody around to speak German and do some grammar and vocabulary exercises, reading and writing German, but also to play games and have fun. This will mainly be with the younger two, as our eldest will be at home on and off as she has finished school and is also working/ travelling/ gap yearing.
As the girls are getting older, time seems to get more occupied by school, homework and activities. So the person we are looking for would divide their time between structured German lessons (mainly for the youngest), leaving and correcting some writing tasks on the one hand and cooking the family meals and doing household chores/ garden work on the other. Usually we all chip in with household chores but there is always something to be done.
We live in a beautiful house with garden and pool in a village close to Valencia. There is a good metro connection to Valencia, within 30 minutes you are in the city center. During the day you would have plenty of time to go to Spanish Classes - or enjoy your free time.

Ayuda
You would help to improve the girl's German through some structured teaching, but also through conversation, games and being part of the family. Our family time is in the afternoon, the mornings are yours. On weekdays we have lunch together at 3pm and your input would start with making lunch and continue in the afternoon. However, we appreciate certain flexibility in this. The girls are only available in the afternoons for German classes, but other things can be done any time (like garden/ household chores, walking the dogs, etc). We do look for somebody who actually likes spending time with us as part of the family and does not see if as a 4h/day chore input. We also like doing things together like going to the cinema, to Valencia or on excursions and you would be very welcome to join.

Alojamiento

I had the great opportunity to stay with Ariana, Alicia, Amelie, Bettina and Patrick in a beautiful suburb of Valencia. Although it was a very spontaneous idea of mine to go to Spain for these four weeks in march 2022, everything worked out very well. The whole family including all the animals welcomed me with… read more

This was my first workaway and I couldn't have pictured it to be any better. I stayed with Bettina and her family for 4 weeks in March. From the first day on they were super welcoming and lovely.

First things first - I can highly recommend this family.
From the first moment on I felt very welcome in your family! You even supported me on the 'journey' towards you.

My stay with you, family, was wonderful. You are perfect hosts because you took care of me a lot and always been so lovely. You never caused any pressure on me doing my tasks. You just trusted me that I will take care of the girls (and dogs :wink:) and help a bit in the house. And of course I did it. I liked… read more
