    Description

    ❤ Hola!
    We're Uri and Laura (45 and 44 y.o.) and our daughter Bruna (15) and our son Gael (10)

    We are looking for someone cheerful and responsible who loves kids and who is willing to help us with our busy weekdays.

    Minimum stay: 3 weeks.
    We prefer to host people with references.

    WHERE WE LIVE
    We live in El Masnou, a beach village that has good connections to Barcelona (it's only 25 minutes away by train or car).
    We live in a house with a small garden

    MORE ABOUT US:
    Our daughter loves to play volleyball and rock climbing. Our son, Gael, likes to play football, volleyball and video games.
    We enjoy welcoming foreign people into our home and engaging in cultural exchange. It is like traveling and learning languages without ever leaving the house.

    Some things you should know about us:
    - We speak Catalan at home, with our friends, and family. We are also proficient in Spanish and have some knowledge of English.
    - We have a cat.
    - We have both vegetarian and omnivore diets (Uri is vegetarian, but Laura and the kids are not).

    We offer a homestay, which includes accommodation and food, in exchange for assistance with the children at home, speaking to them in English, and carrying out some basic house chores. Our main goal in these exchanges is to improve our English proficiency, so we prefer volunteers with a good level of English. Although it's not a mandatory requirement, we would appreciate it if you let us know if you don't have a good level.
    Hours expected of work are 3 or 4 hours/day, only from Monday to Friday, with plenty of free time. The kids go to school from 9h to 16.30h so we will need you to be with them mostly the afternoons or evenings.
