Descripción
We are a family of 5, our three girls are 16, 18 and 20 years old. The eldest is studying at the University in The Netherlands, so she is not at home. We also have two dogs and two cats. We are a lively family and like having 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, German and Spanish at home. We are looking for either a German native speaker or a French native speaker to improve those two languages. The girls are trilingual and study French at school and I am also taking French classes.
Your time would be divided between cooking the family meals (cook lunch and prepare dinner) and doing household chores/ garden work. Usually we all chip in with household chores but there is always some extra to be done. Lunch and dinner hours are fixed (lunch at 3pm, dinner at 8ish pm). Regarding the chores, you are flexible about the timing.
As for the languages, it is basically about speaking. For German the communication will be on mother tongue level with the idea of keeping the language present in the family. For French we are looking more at easy conversation practice. We are not expecting any structured lessons, but rather interesting and fun conversation at meal times or whenever there is an opportunity.
We would love to have somebody around who is happy to be part of a family. Although you have your own room and bathroom, we really look for somebody who likes chatting with everybody, playing games together (table tennis, pool, badminton, table football, cards, table top games, etc.) and generally hanging out with the family/ the girls (maybe baking cakes, watching a movie , etc).
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 centre. You would have plenty of time to go to Spanish Classes - or enjoy your free time.

You would help to improve the girl's German and their and my French respectively through conversation, games and being part of the family. Meal times are fixed, but garden/ household chores can be done any time. We do look for somebody who likes spending time with us, however the girls also have activities, so do not have that much leasure time. We also like doing things together like going to the cinema, to Valencia or on excursions and you would be very welcome to join.

From my first 3 steps out of the metro I already felt part of the family.
The girls welcomed me very well (the cats and dog aswell) and every single day was just a pleasure to work and help them.

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. I had my own bathroom, they supplied me with food every day and made great suggestions how I could spend my day.… read more
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.
When I finally arrived in the evening Bettina was there at the station. No matter how uncomfortable the weather was. Perfect I don't had to find my way… read more

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
