  Description

  Hello!
  We are a 50-years-young mother, Tracy, and an 8-year-old girl, Lía. We have recently moved house to a quaint town called Binissalem and we love it here! The town is on the train line with a good mix of local and international residents.
  
  At home we speak English, but I speak Spanish fluently and Lía also speaks Spanish but she needs a bit more practice. I'd be super happy if you speak Spanish so Lía can practice more but English is also ok.
  
  Here are some things which I would love some help with:
  - Domestic stuff and generally helping keep the house tidy
  - Maybe painting some rooms but it's too hot for that right now and if you're not confident in painting we'll find other tasks for you
  - Helping to photograph and upload items to my Vinted profile
  - If you have the skills, a few odd jobs around the house like putting up pictures etc.
  - Cooking - at least for yourself! I don't want to feel responsible for cooking for you. If healthy cooking is not really your thing then we can each take care of ourselves.
  
  Although generally childcare is not required, best if you enjoy the company of a fun and curious child since we will be co-living.
  
  If you enjoy cooking healthy food this is a skill I very much appreciate!
  We eat meat. I also love vegetarian dishes if you can produce things that Lía likes, or on the days Lia is not home. We eat mostly wheat free at home and avoid processed sugar and other highly processed foods.
  
  Here's a bit about us:
  
  I strive to live life from a place of love and truth. Some of the tools that help me on this path are yoga, dance, meditation and tantra. I appreciate joyful, honest, transparent people with a high vibration.
  
  Lía is a lively, curious, intelligent, fun and affectionate girl, who loves the company of children and grown-ups and playing, laughing, painting, being in the garden inventing a potion, building fairy houses, but also climbing, jumping and doing more adventurous things.
  
  Lía lives 5 days with me and 2 days with her father, she normally goes from Tuesday to Thursday with him but in the summer things often change. In term time she is at school from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday to Friday.
  
  I work from home. We have an office space for 1 person but sometimes I work in the living room so if you need the office we can coordinate, there is plenty space.
  
  I am an early bedder! We go to bed between 9:00 p.m. and 10:00 p.m. every day in winter, we read a story, and when Lía falls asleep, I usually go to bed too. Then I usually wake up quite early. Lia wakes up around 8 a.m. So we ask for quiet during our sleeping hours - how good are you at moving like a silent ninja? :-)
  In summer we go to bed later because it's so hot!
  
  The house is large, has 3 floors, 3 bedrooms plus the big yoga room. It has 2 bathrooms and 1 toilet downstairs. It has an outdoor covered terrace and a small exterior patio.
  The guest bedroom is on the top floor with nice views and this is where you would normally sleep, with a comfortable double bed. I sometimes rent the guest room to friends of friends travelling to the village, or people stay in it from the Home Exchange platform, so it's possible that if I get the opportunity to do that during your stay, I might ask you to sleep in the yoga room (on a comfortable mattress!).
  
  NON-SMOKERS ONLY PLEASE.
  I don't drink much alcohol and appreciate people who don't drink too much.
  If you have any questions, let me know!
  
  INTERNET: We have fibre optic, the router is on the ground floor but the signal doesn't reach the top floor where the guest bedroom is.

  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  I am a yoga teacher, although I am not currently practicing. I am also an advocate for births without interventions. I gave birth to Lía at home, in water, almost completely without assistance. I am willing to share my knowledge and experience in this area. When I have time, I love to talk about my experience with consciousness and learn from others. I also enjoy talking about conscious relating and conscious parenting, the different ways I am raising Lia, trying to be as respectful as possible and giving her a lot of freedom to develop her own spirit and find her way in this world, while also setting boundaries, which she needs to feel safe. Not always an easy task!
  
  Soy profesora de yoga, aunque actualmente no estoy ejerciendo. También soy defensora de los partos sin intervenciones. Di a luz a Lía en casa, en el agua, casi completamente sin asistencia. Estoy dispuesta a compartir mi conocimiento y experiencia en esta área.
  
  Cuando tengo tiempo, me encanta hablar sobre mi experiencia con la consciencia y aprender de los demás. También disfruto conversar sobre la crianza consciente, las diferentes formas en las que estoy educando a Lia, tratando de ser lo más respetuosa posible y dándole mucha libertad para desarrollar su propio espíritu y encontrar su camino en este mundo, al mismo tiempo que establezco los límites que necesita para sentirse segura. ¡No siempre una tarea fácil!

  COOKING ON YOUR FREE DAYS Preparing food is part of life. You will be one of the family and we will share the house and kitchen tasks. When you have a free day, if you're at home, you still have to cook your own food.
  
  FREE TIME AT HOME Although I don't usually look at "schedules" and count the hours worked and so on but will trust you to keep track; if you are not on "working" hours, if we are all at home, Lía will surely want to be close to you . I hope you enjoy being with her. If you get along very well, I may leave you in charge of her at some point, and this is obviously considered "working hours", but it is not the main intention of your stay. When we go out and about, in general it will not be necessary for you to come, but if we all get along, you will often be invited to accompany us and we will try to show you something interesting. Sometimes we eat out; If you want to join us, you will normally be expected to pay your way.
  
  COCINAR EN TUS DIAS LIBRES
  Preparar la comida es parte de la vida. Serás uno/a de la familia y compartiremos las tareas de la casa y de la cocina. Cuando tienes día libre, no hace falta que cocines si no estás por casa pero si estás por casa, igual te toca cocinar igual que otro día cocinaré yo por ti.
  
  TIEMPO LIBRE POR CASA
  Aunque no suelo mirar "horarios" y contar las horas trabajadas y demás, si no estás en horario "laboral", si estamos todos por casa, seguramente Lía querrá estar cerca de ti. Espero que disfrutes estando con ella.
  Si os lleváis super bien, igual en algún momento te dejo a cargo de ella, y esto obviamente se considera "horario laboral", pero no es la intention principal de tu estancia.
  
  Cuando salimos por ahi, en general no será necesario que vengas, pero si nos llevamos todos bien, estarás siempre invitada a acompañarnos e intentaremos ir a enseñarte algo interesante.
  A veces comemos fuera; si quieres venir, tu cuenta será generalmente a tu cargo, aunque a veces te invitaré.

  Possibilité d’accueillir les digital nomads

  I work from home, sometimes in the office on the first floor and sometimes in the living / dining room or outside on the terrace. We can easily share spaces if you are also working from home but see note above about internet in the guest bedroom. In summer it's too hot to work anywhere except the living /dining room during the day because there is only AC in that room.

  Espace pour garer des vans

  Parking in this area is generally easy, so you would be able to park a van on the street somewhere near the house. It's a safe area.

  Possibilité d'accueillir les animaux

  It depends, ask me! We love dogs.
