  Aide

  I am running a business and, my husband works full time at a bank and our son Max who is 3 years old goes to school. We are both working and are looking for some help to keep our child entertained when we need to work longer hours or need a date-night.
  
  We are sending Max to school so we will need you to take him or pick him up and help with reading homework and prepare his food bags and clothing. When he is sick, he will not be able to go and we will need you to look after him for the full 8 hours during which we need to work. When this happens and you work longer hours on a day you can compensate by taking other days off.
  
  We also need help with caring for plants, laundry, organising cupboards, sort out clothes, toys, shopping, washing the dishes, cooking family meals, dusting, laundry, and other house chores.
  
  We can provide you with a weekly chore list but also need people with observation skills and initiative, who can do the little things which they feel are needed without being asked. For example: if the toys are in the middle or Max's bedroom is out of order you organise, keep the dining table as clear as possible and organise one space a day for example fridge, cupboards etc. In hot summer months the few plants we have outside need to be watered daily but during the winter depending on rainfall.
  
  You need to have WhatsAPP installed in your phone and a data plan so we can communicate effectively. Since Max is growing and imitating language we need to find someone who can speak English fluently so we will not be taking on people who do not speak English fluently
  
  Some notes:
  It takes us a while to wake up and we may not be up for vivid communication in the morning, so if you are the lively, bubbly type take it easy till we are fully up
  We are bilingual and tend to switch between Maltese and English even in our normal day to day communication. mas speaks in English and we try to talk to Max in Maltese whenever possible. We will of course talk in English to you but sometimes when talking to each-other we can switch to talking in Maltese without knowing, if you are around, just remind us to switch back.
  As every 3.5 year old child max can be energetic so sometimes you need patience.

  Hébergement

  We are offering a single bedroom home, with shared bathroom.The living quarters are quite cosy but we enjoy a nice roof and proximity to the village core with a few nice places. We can host an individual but do keep an extra mattress so we can welcome your guest for short stays.
  
  In Malta July and Aug are peak months and the island is alive full of music and religious festivals. It can get very hot - a fan will be provided but the room does not have an air conditioner. Ideally you are someone who does not mind the hot summer months.
  
  Our place is well lit and cosy (not very big), we only have one bathroom and in the mornings we can be in a bit of a rush. Your bedroom has its window looking onto the internal yard with an adjacent kitchen, we do our best not to be too noisy but our kid can be loud at times. The rooftop has been the favorite relaxation spot for most.
  
  Workaways shall be provided with 3 meals a day or food that could be used for cooking. You will have full use of the kitchen and appliances and can use herbs spices butters jams etc. You can prepare your own food or join us for dinner when possible. Basic respect applies so make sure you clean after you or if we are eating together offer a helping hand. Cooking for yourself, cleaning after yourself and washing your own clothes does not count as work.
  
  There may be some fine items which are for occasional use. For example you should not consume excessive amounts of our spirits or use premium olive oil, honey or wine for cooking.

  Autres infos...

  Public Transport in Malta is free if you have a tal-linja card - but it costs around 27 euros, needs to be ordered online and posted to a local address and takes 1 month to be delivered. We recommend you book in advance if you are decided on coming to Malta
  
  We need you to have a good immune system - if you catch colds more than once a year this may not be the opportunity for you. Max goes to childcare/school and because of this, he will come home with a new disease every other week. When Max is ill, you will need to stay home to look after a sick child, if your immune system is not robust you will get sick too and end up not enjoying your time in Malta.
  
  It is natural that if you are in Malta you will want to discover the place and go out as much as possible, the island is bubbling with nightlife and a hub for history, beaches and natural wonders. If you have exams coming up or need to work part time in parallel, doing intensive things at once will be stressful for you and us.
  
  We are meat eaters but do not mind vegans and vegetarians who respect our food preferences.
  
  We are located few mins away from a bus stop and can recommend great countryside walks on our doorstep and beaches which are just 15 mins away by bus or 1 hr walk.
  
  We are a family and as such do family activities and our son can be noisy. We may invite you to join when possible but it is healthy that we also spend time apart , make friends and enjoy life. We are proud of my country and encourage you to explore/ integrate and enjoy your time here, ask for recommendations,and comeback with adventures. If you are looking for Social activity in Malta, Facebook is very popular and our previous workaways recommend bumble friendship or the English cafe.
  
  You are here to help make our lives easier, so if you think your help is needed, do help out!
  If things go wrong, admit and apologize - we understand, things break, its ok things do not always go as planned.
