  Descripción

  Hello!
  We are a 50-year-old mother, Tracy, and a 7-year-old girl, Lía. We have recently moved house to a quaint town called Binissalem and we love it here! The town is on the train line with a good mix of local and international residents.
  
  At home we speak English, but I speak Spanish fluently and Lía is learning it. I'd be super happy if you speak Spanish so Lía can practice more but English is also ok.
  
  Our new house is great and very comfortable. It is not a building site, but there are a few things which a handy person could help with in terms of improvements, like a bit of painting, and a few odd jobs here and there, deeding on your skills.
  
  Also happy for help with cooking and usual domestic tasks like cleaning and maybe some hero with unpacking and organising some boxes which are still not unpacked.
  Maybe hanging out with Lía when I want to go to a fitness session or something like this but generally not much childcare required, although you are definitely required to enjoy the company of children as life at home is like that 5 days a week (Lia goes to her dad 2 days a week).
  
  COOKING is a must. I sometimes struggle to stay on top of cooking healthy meals and I don't want any Workaways who need me to cook for them more than once or twice a week. But we can also do things together.
  
  The new house has a yoga room! But it is still full of boxes... If you are creative maybe you can help paint a mandala or something beautiful on the wall. Depending on your skills we will find things you can help with.
  We also have a small garden / patio and if you're good with plants you can definitely help me out there.
  
  If you enjoy cooking healthy food this is a skill I very much appreciate!
  We eat meat. I also love vegetarian dishes if you can produce things that Lía likes! We eat mostly wheat free at home and mostly avoid processed sugar.
  
  Here's a bit about us:
  
  I strive to live life from a place of love and truth. Some of the tools that help me on this path are yoga, dance, meditation and tantra.
  
  Lía is a lively, curious, intelligent, fun and affectionate girl, who loves company and playing, laughing, painting, being in the garden inventing a potion, building fairy houses, but also climbing, jumping and doing more adventurous things.
  
  Lía lives 5 days with me and 2 days with her father, she normally goes from Tuesday to Thursday with him. Some weeks if he travels, she is with me every day. She is at school from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday to Friday.
  
  Childcare is not really a big part of what I require from workaway but of course, living together you would be hanging out with her and if you speak Spanish I'll probably ask you to spend more time with her so she can practice! I work from home.
  
  I am an early bedder! We go to bed between 9:00 p.m. and 10:00 p.m. every day, we read a story, and when Lía falls asleep, I usually go to bed too. Then I usually wake up quite early. Lia wakes up around 8 a.m. So we ask for quiet during our sleeping hours but in the new house this is not so difficult.
  However, your bathroom is beside my bedroom and I have to sleep with the door open so I can hear Lia if she calls me during the night so if you go to bed later than me or get up for the bathroom during the night, I ask that you move like a ninja because I am a light sleeper! ;-)
  
  The new house is large, has 3 floors, 3 bedrooms plus the big yoga room. It has 2 bathrooms and 1 toilet downstairs. It has an outdoor covered terrace and a small exterior patio.
  The guest bedroom is on the top floor with nice views and this is where you would sleep, with a comfortable double bed. My plan is to rent the guest room occasionally to friends of friends travelling to the village, but I haven't started doing this yet. On some occasions in the future, workaways might sleep on comfortable floor mattresses in the yoga room if the guest room is rented.
  
  NON-SMOKERS ONLY PLEASE. If you have any questions, let me know!
  
  INTERNET: We have fibre optic, the router is on the ground floor but the signal doesn't reach the top floor where the guest bedroom is. I have found a solution for this but have yet to organise it so if this is important to you then ask me about it.
  
  I have new photos but my profile is not online yet and I can't upload them so... coming soon!

  Intercambio cultural y oportunidades de aprendizaje

  I am a yoga teacher, although I am not currently practicing. I am also an advocate for births without interventions. I gave birth to Lía at home, in water, almost completely without assistance. I am willing to share my knowledge and experience in this area. When I have time, I love to talk about my experience with consciousness. I also enjoy talking about conscious parenting, the different ways I am raising Lia, trying to be as respectful as possible and giving her a lot of freedom to develop her own spirit and find her way in this world, while also setting boundaries, which she needs to feel safe. Not always an easy task!
  
  Soy profesora de yoga, aunque actualmente no estoy ejerciendo. También soy defensora de los partos sin intervenciones. Di a luz a Lía en casa, en el agua, casi completamente sin asistencia. Estoy dispuesta a compartir mi conocimiento y experiencia en esta área.
  
  Cuando tengo tiempo, me encanta hablar sobre mi experiencia con la consciencia. También disfruto conversar sobre la crianza consciente, las diferentes formas en las que estoy educando a Lia, tratando de ser lo más respetuosa posible y dándole mucha libertad para desarrollar su propio espíritu y encontrar su camino en este mundo, al mismo tiempo que establezco los límites que necesita para sentirse segura. ¡No siempre una tarea fácil!

  COOKING ON YOUR FREE DAYS Preparing food is part of life. You will be one of the family and we will share the house and kitchen tasks. When you have a free day, if you're at home, you still have to cook just like another day I'll cook for you.
  
  FREE TIME AT HOME Although I don't usually look at "schedules" and count the hours worked and so on, if you are not on "working" hours, if we are all at home, Lía will surely want to be close to you . I hope you enjoy being with her. If you get along very well, I may leave you in charge of her at some point, and this is obviously considered "working hours", but it is not the main intention of your stay. When we go out and about, in general it will not be necessary for you to come, but if we all get along, you will often be invited to accompany us and we will try to show you something interesting. Sometimes we eat out; If you want to join us, you will normally be expected to pay your way.
  
  COCINAR EN TUS DIAS LIBRES
  Preparar la comida es parte de la vida. Serás uno/a de la familia y compartiremos las tareas de la casa y de la cocina. Cuando tienes día libre, no hace falta que cocines si no estás por casa pero si estás por casa, igual te toca cocinar igual que otro día cocinaré yo por ti.
  
  TIEMPO LIBRE POR CASA
  Aunque no suelo mirar "horarios" y contar las horas trabajadas y demás, si no estás en horario "laboral", si estamos todos por casa, seguramente Lía querrá estar cerca de ti. Espero que disfrutes estando con ella.
  Si os lleváis super bien, igual en algún momento te dejo a cargo de ella, y esto obviamente se considera "horario laboral", pero no es la intention principal de tu estancia.
  
  Cuando salimos por ahi, en general no será necesario que vengas, pero si nos llevamos todos bien, estarás siempre invitada a acompañarnos e intentaremos ir a enseñarte algo interesante.
  A veces comemos fuera; si quieres venir, tu cuenta será generalmente a tu cargo, aunque a veces te invitaré.
