Hello we are a family from the Canary Islands, on the smallest of the archipielago, called El Hierro. It´s a beautiful island declared a biosphere reserve with 10.000 inhabitants, it´s very relaxed and different from the rest.
We live in the village of El Pinar, it´s small with 1,500 people, close to the mountains and 15 minutes by car to the sea.
In the island you can practice all kinds of sports, adventures, swimming, diving, mountain biking, underwater fishing, paragliding…
We love to meet new people and usually do an interchange, and we can offer a little apartment of 30 square metres which is next door to our house.
The apartment has a bathroom, kitchen, wifi, television and all the basics to be comfortable

Un abrazo , Francisco y Tere

It will be your own apartment. It is important to us that you understand we are not looking for a nanny and our homes will be seperate.
Algo más...
El Hierro is a very small island and most people here do not speak English, or German so having some Spanish is desirable but not essential. Having a car is also better as buses are limited, but we can give you a bicycle and most people hitchhike here as it is very safe. There is no crime in El Hierro. We are looking for someone...

Lovely people and a great studio to stay in. Francisco and Tere were a delight to be around. They are busy working people but they always had time for my questions or just to say hello. It was a magical three week stay with them. Thank you to you both.

I visited El Hierro and the little apartment of Francisco and Tere in January/February 2024. It was quite an adventure for me and I was really excited to visit a small island and experience a different way of life – if only for a few weeks. Francisco and Tere were absolutely charming, very friendly and welcoming. They showed me the allotment and… read more

It was a privilege to stay with Fransisco, Terre , and Eva ; Sylvia was away studying English in Dublin , so hopefully , I will meet her sometime in the future.
I stayed in El Heirro for 1 month , this gave me time to explore the beautiful island. I did all of my travel by bus , you can find the timetables at the Geological Museum that is in the… read more

I’ve just finished 6-weeks staying with Francisco, Tere, Eva and Silvia and I feel like I’ve said goodbye (or rather “Hasta luego”) to new friends. I was already looking forward to the stay, having read previous feedback comments from other ‘WorkAwayers’, but my experience far exceeded my expectations. The island of El Hierro is beautiful, the… read more village of El Pinar is quaint, charming, friendly and welcoming and the apartment I stayed in, although compact, is very cleverly designed and suited me perfectly. It is right next door to the family’s home, so you see each other daily, but you live independently, catering for yourself.

Francisco and Tere are very helpful, relaxed and caring hosts and were a pleasure to meet and get to know. Eva and Silvia (17 & 15...almost!) are lively, highly-intelligent teenagers, who cram a lot into their lives, take their studies seriously, but also have a balanced view of what matters most in life. They both value happiness, respect for others and living lives of meaning and purpose, which means that they are interesting and stimulating young people to spend time with.

I spent an hour with each of the girls separately on two evenings a week, sometimes helping with homework, sometimes preparing sessions and activities to practice language skills. Both girls attend extra language classes twice a week after school (Eva takes English and Silvia German) and their level of spoken English is good. It is these languages (English and German) that they want support with respectively. The sessions are largely up to you to plan and prepare (when there is no specific homework to help with), so if you’re the kind of person who has creative ideas for interesting activities then this is the kind of help the girls would really appreciate and enjoy.

When I wasn’t working with the girls I took care of the family’s small vegetable garden and/or kept the outside area swept clean (a couple of hours a day). I was invited to take any vegetables I wanted, to look after the garden in the way that I chose, and Francisco provided plants, compost and anything else needed.

If you’re the kind of person who likes to live independently, enjoys your own company, loves nature, gets on well with friendly local people and teenagers and doesn’t need too much ‘night-life’ then this truly has the potential to be a paradise placement for you, as it turned out to be for me.

I will always remember my time in this beautiful place with this lovely family :-)

I am very grateful for the opportunity to have stayed on El Hierro. The family is very generous and gave me lovely avocados and fruits. El Hierro is unspoiled by tourism, and feels a little like stepping back in time. However, as I do not speak Spanish, El Hierro did not suit me. I think I would have stayed longer if I had spoken Spanish. I… read more

El Hierro is an experience. Thank you Francisco, Tere, Eva, and SILVIA! I spent most of the time with Silvia practicing German. The girls are very smart and have a busy schedule, the apartment is nice and quiet. Lots and lots of free time! Special thanx for the organic fruits and eggs.

I had an amazing time on the island and with the family! Francisco and Tere are super helpful and the girls are very sweet. I taught the girls twice a week for two hours. You should work for about 10h per week, which is more than fair for the accommodation and surroundings you get. The rest of the time I helped in the garden (weeding, watering,… read more

This family are some of the nicest people I have met on my travels, so warm and friendly!

Forest trails and a beach are in walking distance (a long walk,… read more

They are willing to tell you about every place on the island that is worthwhile to visit,

I liked staying here and helping this family. The girls are sweet and eager to learn. Since you only teach them in the afternoon from about 16h untill 18h, you have a lot of free time to enjoy this island. The island is very beautiful, the nature is amazing. A great place if you would like to study, to rest, to hike or do watersports. It is… read more
