  Description

  Hello, we are Nina and Marco, an international family with Belgian - Italian roots, living in the countryside of the beautiful Spanish coastline Costa Brava.
  We have two boys of 3 years old and 10 months old, and are looking for a person or couple to give us a hand with the kids.
  
  We live in the countryside of the Costa Brava, surrounded by olivetrees, vineyards, and farmers, but still close to the beach (2km). We go daily to the beach during summer, walking or by bicycle. And when we come back home, we love the quiet environment, the surroundings of nature, a true oasis of peace, especially during busy summer days. Our street is a peaceful dirt road at the foot of the Gavarres mountains, known for its beautiful nature, mountainbike roads, and hikes.
  We are close to the well known fishermen's village Palamos (5km), and the touristic commercial village Platja d'Aro (7km). You can easily move around with the bicycle, or motorscooter, or even by foot.
  
  Workawayers should at least talk one of the following languages: Dutch, Italian, or Catalan (in order to have a proper communication with the kids)

  Nature lovers will feel at home here as we are at the foot of many walks and hikes, as well along the coastline as the mountains.
  We have an ecological vegetable garden, where you can learn from our way of cultivating, as well as we want to know more from your side if you have an experience cultivating.

  Help

  We are looking for a person for 'light help' with the kids and around the house, meaning just a few hours per day, and mostly when at least one of us is around, probably never alone with the kids.
  
  Basically your week would look like this:
  - Mo-Tue: Free
  - Wed to Fri: Somewhere in the morning about 1 hour of entertaining Joah (10 m old), so I can do household tasks, and next from 3pm-4pm picking up Elia (3Y old) from nursery and being a moment all together.
  - Sa and Su : 10am- 2pm going all together to the beach a couple of hours and helping with lunch time
  - Some help around the house or cooking would be a very much appreciated plus :)
