  Description

  We are a family with two children, one born in 2022 and the other in 2013.
  We need help taking care of the little one especially, the older one is already very independent. He needs especially help with learning english,that would be great!
  My name is Meritxell, from my partner Alvaro, both born in '78.
  
  We are a family that highly values ​​respectful and attached parenting, free and alternative education, healthy eating, alternative and natural medicine, the environment, culture... we listen to each other, we enjoy and we take care of each other.
  
  Our oldest son goes to an alternative school in Vallgorguina (I always take him), and my youngest son will go to a forest school three times per week.
  
  Our two children are very different in age, so it is a challenge to be able to meet their needs or desires, which are very different.
  
  Alvaro works outside the home, working hours Monday to Friday, and Meritxell, I myself am now dedicated to parenting, but I want to start my online business, and for this I need support from a workawayer, help especially with the little one and simple tasks, to be able to develop my business from home
  
  We live in a beautiful and spacious house in the center of Sant Celoni, in Barcelona province, it has a large outdoor patio.
  On the ground floor, a large kitchen with fireplace, living room with dining room, and the workawayers small room, and a bathroom with shower. If it comes a family, we have a place big enough that we can adapt so you’re confortable.
  
  On the upper floor our rooms, one with a bathroom and a space for washing clothes.
  
  We live in a town in the Montseny area, in a nice house in the center. It is close to the Montseny Natural Park, but you will need a car to get around if you want to visit these places on your own.
  
  Town is Sant Celoni. We live in a pedestrian area near small shops, City Hall area... you can take the train to go also to Barcelona city that is 45 minutes.
  
  We like to do family activities, if they do children's activities nearby…
  My oldest son enjoys amusement parks, we sometimes go to Tibidabo which is an hour from home.
  Sometimes we go to the river if the weather is good, since it is close by. Or to the beach, about half an hour away. But you can also take the opportunity to rest at home, or go to a park or town for a walk.
  My oldest son enjoys going to the
  Cinema but it doesn't go much because we don't want to take the little one.
  We also really like board games, and also meeting other families with children.
  
  We eat everything, we try to be as healthy as possible, although my oldest son asks us for some exceptions to buy some sweets.
  
  Everything related to screens at home is limited. We don't have television. Only projector that we use on the weekend to watch movies as a family (except the little one that DOES NOT see screens, or cell phones, or anything). The big one has controlled screen time (video games, series, movies), - some days and certain hours.
  We do not want the workawayer to use screens to entertain children, it is important.
  We try to use the mobile not much In front of the children.

  MINIMUM STAY OF 2 MONTHS
  We need someone to take care of our little son above all and help me, Meritxell, I spend many hours with him, since our oldest son goes to school and Alvaro works outside the home.
  I would need to take care of him for a while just one morning per week ( or every two weeks), and almost every day in the afternoon so I could work. Small household chores, cooking for dinner, heating food perhaps at midday, sorting toys, sweeping the kitchen after eating, etc…
  Order is important to us, although we live with children and sometimes it is difficult to maintain it.
  More or less, I think it's between three/four hours a day during the week, spread between morning and afternoon, mainly at home, or near home (park...). You would have the weekend free.
  
  We offer you meals and accommodation, normally lunch and dinner, depending on how many you are (if you are a family).
  
  We really would like someone that has already experience with taking care of kids, perhaps already parents, and ideally knowledgeable of a conscious education, non-directive alternative schools (school should be made to fit the child, rather than the other way around)... It woud be good if you know about unschooling, home-schooling,Forest school, know authors like Rebecca Wild, Montessori, André Stern....

  Cet hôte propose un échange linguistique
  Learning english would be great forn our older kid. But it's important that you can minimally talk in spanich, so our kids feel comfortable as we've seen it's more difficult to make a bond between the qworkawayer and the kid.
