  Descripción

  Hi!!
  
  We are a family of 3: Esty (my wife ), Noah (our kid 9 y.o and Marta (me). We´ve traveled through workaway (WE ARE ACTIVE WORKAWAYERS as well).
  
  Our house is in suburb of El Pardo, a small and quite town located 10 km to Madrid City Centre ( Moncloa).
  
  We are looking for someone who is genuinely looking for a DEMI PAIR position, who wants to teach its own mother tongue to Noah by playing, NOT JUST SOMEONE WHO IS SITTING DOW LOOKING how Noah is and checkin his/her phone meanwhile.
  We would like that person to read or make up stories, play with him, look up apps in the net to play with him,.....anything that you consider is good for him to learn will be fine. We have a lot of material that you can use, books, puzzles, websites, songs, flash cards,.....and also we can buy whatever you consider is necesary. It´s not a hard activity but YOU HAVE TO LIKE IT , otherwise maybe this is not going to be very enjoiable for you. If you have some experience with children, that would be great, but what is really important it that you LOVE TEACHING AND PLAYING WITH OUR KID. Also it is very important for us that you are NATIVE SPEAKER OR HAVE A PROFICIENCY LEVEL IN ENGLISH.
  
  We need to improve our English level because so we would be pleased that you correct our mistakes, since the only way to improve is if someone tells us (overall the pronunciation because in Spanish we don´t have as much sounds as in English).
  
  From the minute you arrive you will be treated as one of the family and we will also look after you as such. We hope you look after our house as if it was your and do the chores that you would do in any place like tidy the kitchen after the meals, put in and take off the things of the dish washer, keep your bedroom and toilet clean..)
  
  If you are planing to take Spanish lessons I could recommend you several places, some of them free, that you could do in the morning in Madrid.
  The Universidad Complutense of Madrid is located 10 min by bus from our house with infinity activities and courses for foreigners.
  
  You'll have free all the mornings, but don´t worry, we´re not strict, if you want to travel some day, or stay in Madrid more time, you'll be able to.
  The normal helper schedule would be from 16.30 to 20.00 in the afternoon, but it could be mornings as well depending on our job shedules.
  
  Weekends will be free for your own task.
  
  Anyway, so we will decide the schedule all together.
  
  As a precaution, we ask to also see a copy of your passport, I hope you understand and respect this, it's because our helpers do live as part of the family and we need to ensure ourselves that we have taken every measure to ensure everyones secure. If you are unwilling to share your details, we are unwilling to share our home with you, please respect that this is for everyones security.
  We also ask for details of next of kin so that we are able to contact them in case something happens to you. In your application, please confirm if you have any allergies and food likes and dislikes, this does not affect anyones application, but does enable me to shop accordingly
  
  If you think that you could be the person we´re looking for (you like teaching, like kids, are trustworthy, hardworking, has initiative ....') , don´t hesitate to write to us.
  
  Thank you for taking the time to read our profile and I hope we´re the family that you´re looking for.
  
  Please feel free to contact us to make any qestion, clear any doubt or anything you need if you are interested.

We have flash cards, different apps in the tablet, puzzles, stories books,magnetics games, legos,..... And a lot of things that you'll be able to use to teach him.
  
  He loves being with the workawayers beause they are for him like grown up friends, so you'll not have any problem in order he pays you attention.
  
  From around 16.30 pm to 20:00 pm, we would like you play with him in English. He has a lot of toys and books that you could use to teach him, but it´s important that YOU WANT HIM TO LEARN, I mean that we want you to interact with him and organice games in which both of you can speak in English.
