  Description

  =========
  We are looking for someone to stay with us for approximately three weeks during the month of July.
  =========
  
  We live in a countryside house that belongs to the village of Gurb, just a 10-minute drive from the city of Vic. Vic is a university city with around 40,000 inhabitants and is located about one hour from Barcelona by bus.
  
  Our home has a swimming pool, a large garden, and beautiful views of the surrounding landscape. The house is divided into two separate living spaces: in one, we live as a family with our two daughters, aged 12 and 15, and in the other lives the grandfather.
  
  We have two dogs and two cats, all of which usually stay outside in the garden. Only the smaller dog is sometimes allowed inside the house, although it also spends most of its time outdoors.
  
  Our location is ideal, as we are about one hour from Barcelona and also one hour from the Catalan Pyrenees.
  
  We are looking for a girl who enjoys being with children and who is kind, friendly, and highly motivated. Our main goal is for our daughters to improve their English, so we are especially interested in someone who is enthusiastic about teaching and helping them learn in a natural way.
  
  We would love for them to practice English through everyday activities such as playing, shopping, cooking, going for walks... If needed, we would also appreciate some more structured lessons to complement their learning. Additionally, the mother would also enjoy the opportunity to practice and improve her English.

  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  The workawayer will also be welcome to join us on walks and family activities, and she can come with us for lunches or dinners at restaurants. We would be happy to show her the city of Vic, as well as visit Barcelona together or spend a few days on the Costa Brava.
  
  The father works, but he will be at home in the afternoons, and the mother is currently on holiday, so we will have plenty of time to do activities together but some of days the family would like that the workawayer are with the children alone taking care of them.
  
  Vic is a large and lively city where you can enjoy many different activities such as going to the cinema, shopping, doing sports, or having a drink with friends.

  Hébergement

  The house has two separate living spaces. In one, the father, mother, and younger daughter sleep, and in the other, the grandfather and the older daughter sleep.
  
  You would stay in the upper living space, in a very large room located in a loft area, in the same house where the older daughter and the grandfather live.
  
  We would also like to add that you would have your own bathroom.
  
  We eat a varied Mediterranean diet and we do not have any allergies or food intolerances. If you enjoy cooking, you are welcome to cook whenever you like. We prefer to eat together as a family, as it gives us a good opportunity to talk and share time together.
  
  We would like you to live with us as one more member of the family, like a daughter. However, you would of course still have your own free time.

  Autres infos...

  We would prefer an au pair who does not speak Spanish or Catalan. We would prefer someone whose native language is English. In this way, we will all be encouraged to practise and speak English, as this is our main goal. Within the family there are different levels of English. The older daughter has a B2 level, the younger daughter approximately an A2 level, and I, the mother, have a B1 level. The father and the grandfather hardly speak any English.
  
  If she does speak Spanish, we would prefer that she does not use it with the girls, so that they are encouraged to speak English at all times.
