  • Description

    Description

    We live in Majadahonda, a pleasant town on the outskirts of Madrid, surrounded by parks, shopping centers, and restaurants within walking distance of our home. Madrid is 20 minutes away by car or around 30 minutes by public transport.

    We love to meet people from other cultures and share Spanish traditions with them. We recently moved back to Spain after many years living in Switzerland and we miss the multicultural contact.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Our children were born and lived most of their lives in the French-speaking part of Switzerland, so they have a good understanding of French. However, since our return to Spain, it’s hard to have a part of our lives in French. We would like our children to spend time with a native speaker to recover the language.

    If you're interested in learning Spanish we can have conversations to help you improve and boost your dive into the Spanish culture.

    We are looking for a French mother tongue person to play with our little ones so they don't lose their French, who likes children, is creative, and likes to have fun. We will need you to care for them while we work and potentially one evening per week. Our children are 4 and 6 years old, and fairly independent.
