Help with childcare and education at our family home near La Rioja, Spain

Description
Hi, World!
We are a Spanish family: Gabi, Ainhoa and the little one, Silván (almost 2 years old)... And another baby is coming this summer.
In the past, we have used a lot this site as volunteers, during a trip by bike around all Europe (20 months, riding our bikes and collaborating with all kind of projects and people).
Now, we're back to "normal life".
We're living in a quiet place, 20 minutes from Logroño (La Rioja), close to the golf course of Sojuela. It's a peaceful location, surrounded by forest and little mountains, but close enough to the city, so you have public transport to get here during laboral days. Of course, if it's possible, we could pick you up by car in Logroño.
Types d'aide et opportunités d'apprendre
Baby-sitting et jeux créatifs
Aide à la maison
Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre
Before the second pregnancy, Ainhoa worked as a Spanish teacher for foreign people. Although we can communicate in English (with Gabi in French too), this is a nice opportunity to you to improve your Spanish... Or even to start learning it!
We enjoy our freetime making manual crafts projects (nothing spectacular): wooden toys or little furniture, sewing felt, painting... We're sure that we can exchange tips and skills.
When we had more time, we spent hours cooking more special things, such as our own bread, croissants, Greek dishes or just experimenting.

Aide
When Ainhoa got pregnant again, it started to be very difficult taking care of Silván and the house. We prefer taking care of the kids by our own, we don't like the idea of the babies being raised in a kindergarten. We believe in natural rising, we don't use things as punishment or prizes to educate, and we try to use the non violent communication as much as possible. Rising kids is tiring, but doing it during the pregnancy is just exhausting! Gabi has to spend a lot of time working outside, so we can afford stay at home with the kids. We are living far away from the people who could help us (family and friends with similar thoughts about childrising), and that's why we're opening our house, our life and our family to workaway.
We love having people at home, through other sites. But these travellers spend few time with us, and that's a pity because most part of them has been very helpful. Also, we enjoy when the baby is listening other languages.
We would prefer if you could stay with us around 2 weeks.
We need help, playing with Silván, taking him for a walk in the forest, and helping with the house in general. Gabi is working one week in the morning, and another one in the afternoon, and Ainhoa needs help specially when this time that she's alone.
Weekends will be free for you.
We would love to host people with similar feelings about education, sensitive and dynamic. We prefer if you speak with Silván in your own language. If you have been hosted before in a homeschooler family it would be great! But not absolutely needed.
We eat meat at this point. If it's a problem for you, maybe we can meet in other circumstances!
