Richard is a consultant so he will be working from home some days and others He might have to go abroad sometimes but not frequently. Usually his schedule is very simple: 8h- 18h
Me, i work as a manager with tourists apartments. my schedules are unpredictable but mostly are from 9h- 19h.
Conca is in the kindergarten
Pedro and Ti attend French school (10min walk from our home)
Pedro is very sweet and kind boy, full of energy and loves atention and play games but he will behave easy and stay watching tv shows with cartoon- he loves and we dont so much- if needed! Loves to play pretending , legos, running and riding his bike
Ti is easy going, cheerfull and loves to read and draw and sing. Read her a story and you have gain her!Play with her and Pedro and she will be your fan!
Conca - she is the dificult one to get to know and the one with and you will need to gain her trust but after you do… easy
We have a dog- Jeco- who is already old and loves the family. he is very well behaved and if you pet him and give him a cookie he'll be your best friend!Types d'aide et opportunités d'apprendre

What we need is a hand around the house and sometimes with the kids
Althought Richard (the father) is french and he speaks fluently french, because he was born in Portugal he does not speak french at home. So we prefer if you dont speak any portuguese but only french or english with the kids. If your main language is Portuguese of course we are ok with speaking Portuguese with them…
i speak medium french, good english and medium spanish.
WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR
We ask for +/- 20 hours per week of help
Weekends are yours to enjoy and travel!
We are looking for 2 diferent profiles for workawayers( let us know wich one is the one you identify the most)
1) CHILDCARE Workaway- from September
We would like a workawayer who loves to play with children and who comes here to know our kids and become their friend.
We ask you not just to be with the children, but to ACTIVELY INTERACT WITH THEM
We would love for you to be our trust person, helping with whatever is needed and being a support to our family.
We want a workawayer who is HONEST, PATIENT with kids and also RESPONSIBLE and RELIABLE, and who is good at time management....FLEXIBILITY is also extremely important as our lives became more unpredictable with and with kids at home we are never sure about what we may need.
We have a person that comes make deeper clean on the house 2 times a weeks and give a hand with the clothes but we do expect help with daily cleaning like vacuum the house (once a week), wash dishes/load and unload the dishwasher, leave the kitchen tidy and clean if it’s not (we will also give a hand) kids toys organized and cooperate with us for day to day activities
We love to cook and eat, so when we are home we can prepare meals for everyone (kids eat around 19h30), we usually dinner only later around21h. You will eat with the kids if you want
Sometimes we have guests (friends or family coming over for dinner and on those days some more help with the kids while we prepare dinner might be needed;)
In case we are not around we might need you to reheat food for the kids that we'll leave prepared and cook for you...basically we expect you to know the basics to survive independently if needed.
- Help with the house and dog- max 1.5 hours per day
Pick the older kids for lunch and drop them off to school after- Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays
- 11h50- 13h45 - food will be left done. reheat our food or very basic cooking is the only thing we will need
Pick the older kids from school at 16h45- to be seen as needed acordin 24/25 school schedules - (2 times per week)
babysiting one or other night might be asked in case you are free
OR
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2) CLEANING AND GARDENING workawayer
We want a workawayer who is HONEST, PATIENT with kids and also RESPONSIBLE and RELIABLE. some organizing and cleaning experience is valuable
HOUSE - 2h/2.5h per day
We need a help to keep the house tidy
We will ask for help with kitchen (not cooking...just cleaning and organizing) , living room and kids areas etc....
Vacuum the house every other day, take the garbage out, put kids things in place and organized ect...
DOG (20/30min daily)
Old jeco needs to walk 2 times per day (around 10/15min a time not more as he can’t handle it)
KIDS- 30min max daily
We need help to bath the kids and put the pijamas.
GARDEN- (30min every other week)
- cut the grass every other week and keep things in place
babysiting one or other night might be asked in case you are free
As we are dealing with children more than 2 monthes stay is valued to avoid too many changes as our children will bound and miss you and also as 1st month is only for adaptation as the kids tend to have adaptation time to the new person... also we would be more confortable with a girl since bathing our girls is something we will need help withLangues

Autres infos...
We live in a residential area very central and well located in a prestigious Porto zone.
transports (buses ) are 2/3min walk either to the city center and the beach (but you can also walk to the beach if you prefer as it is only 20/25min walk straight;)
If you have a driver's license and is raining we can borrow a car to pick up the kids
We dont mind you to smoke but not on the house and never near or in front of the kids.Informations complémentaires
