There are no words to express how lovely and affectionate the experience with the family has been in Jerez de la Fronteras for almost three months. I took care of the children and learned flamenco. Absolutely my people. As if we had been friends all our lives. They took me as part of their own family as if we were one family, and everything we… read more

Short description of my experience:
At first place, the family and I planned to stay together for about 2,5 months. At the end 365 days have past.

Long description of my experience:
The family, this is Juanfe, Montse, their 3 year old Lola and the youngest member Blanca, who has now almost 11 months.
When I got to know them over a year ago,… read more they were just three and I was totally convinced to stay in Cádiz capital, where I already had spent some weeks at that point. I did not realize by reading their profile, that they actually live in Jerez. After messaging a little back and forth, we quickly decided to meet. After the first sentences I noticed, they did not live in Cádiz and I started feeling terrible inside since they came all the way over to meet me. We did not meet for a very long time, had just a drink and interesting conversations (as far as my spanish at that point would allow it). But this little time together was enough to totally fall in love with them and open myself to the idea to move to Jerez.

A couple weeks later I would then move to their really gorgeous place which I quickly used to call home. They were afraid I might not like it, but honestly there was nothing at all that you possibly could not like. A spacious, clean, bright, lovely furnished and kind of separated part of their apartment was now mine. I don't know how to describe it, but I had a really deep feeling inside of being at the right time, at the right place, with the right people.

For that reason it scared me off that the upcoming first week with Lola was the toughest I could ever imagine. She was just 2, I was totally new to her, she was tightly bonded to her mom and did not want me at all. And she did not miss any situation to show me exactly this. It was hard and I really believed the family would blow the project off. It was their first experience with a care taker living with them. Then exactly after one week, it was the first time, Lola purposely smiled at me and saying "Buenos días" without being forced by her parents. A huge stone fell off my heart, everyone in the area could probably hear it. This little guesture meant so much to me that I returned to my room to cry.
Lola can be really stubborn, but so can I. We had some tough fights and arguments and got both sometimes quite mad at each other. It was a long way to gain her trust and respect, to make her accept me and to finally reserve a little spot in her heart for myself. But all the work was definitely worth it. Now she calls me "Mama Nadja". And yes, I feel like a fusion of older sister and mother to her.
Lola is a really smart girl, very competitive and self confident. She loves being creative, likes to rearrange things and has been talking since she was 2 in a way some kids with 6 years are not able to speak. Playing with her is really fun. She is open for new ideas, loves to dress up in her costumes and would run and jump around all day when letting her.

Then in October last year, Blanca was born. The in my eyes happiest and most beautiful baby in the world. Blanca is most of the time easy going. She is able to spend some time playing on her own, she dearly loves her sister and gets more and more active every single day.
Taking care of them both at the same time is normally well manageble.

What I really appreciate, and I know it is nothing ordinary, is that Juanfe and Montse trusted me from the very first day on. They trusted me with their home, their belongings, their money and their most valuable treasures: their children. It was never at issue to test me, to check on my work or to keep a watch on me. They knew I would give my best and take good care of their girls.
Montse and Juanfe made me a member of their family with everything that comes with it: They took me to meet their families and friends, invited me for celebrations, helped me with spanish bureaucracy, helped me when I felt sick, showed me around places, and made no big deal of cooking vegetarin for me. They are very open-minded, open to new dishes, open to listen to life stories, open to suggestions, ... It makes them both rally happy seeing you with their little ones trying out new handicraft, new games or whatever is creative.
Juanfe especially loves making fun about my future spanish husband (who I haven't found yet ;-P).

I could write an entire book about my spanish family. But let me just end with this:
Meeting these individuals was the best that could have happened to me. I am blessed to be called family member by them. And I wish to keep this bond with them forever.
