  Description

  We are a Spanish/ French couple with two children (8 &9). We live in a rural area 40km South of Barcelona, 6km from the sea (Sitges).
  
  We are looking for a female workawayer that is sensitive with children, that can speak only English with the children and can help with housekeeping daily tasks (no cleaning): keep the house tidy, help with children's mess, etc. Also, some days the person will help driving the children to/back from school, help to make meals, etc.
  
  The person will have a highly responsible profile (at least 25 yo), an EU driving license, and be used to treat children in a respectful and kind manner.
  
  We love traveling, meet friends, go for a walk, cooking, playing with our children, and spending time with family.
  We are very interested in permaculture, organic gardens, and respectful education.
