Joanna K, Padre/Madre buscando de niñera en Antequera (29540)

Looking for help for expat family

**Looking for English-speaking Spanish language support / babysitting / housekeeping help — Antequera area — starting mid to late July**

Hello! We are a large Australian family moving to the Antequera area in mid/late July and we are looking for help as soon as we arrive.

We have 8 children, ranging from 16 to 2 years old. It now looks likely that the children will be attending Spanish public or concertado schools, so we are especially looking for someone who can help them start learning Spanish quickly and feel more confident settling into school and daily life.

We are also very interested in Spanish tutoring for the whole family, including the parents. We would love support with practical, everyday Spanish so that all of us can communicate better with schools, neighbours, shops, appointments and daily life in Spain.

Ideally, we would love to find one person who can help with a combination of:

* Spanish language support/tutoring for the children and adults
* Basic help with school transition, homework and communication
* Babysitting/childcare support
* Light housekeeping/help around the home

However, we are also open to hiring two separate people if needed — for example, one person for Spanish/education support and another for babysitting/housekeeping.

We are thinking a few hours per day, depending on availability, experience and price. We can be flexible with days/times.

The ideal person would:

* Speak Spanish fluently
* Speak at least some English, enough to communicate with us and the children
* Have experience with children
* Be comfortable with a large family
* Be patient, kind and reliable
* Ideally have teaching, tutoring, childcare, nannying or school-support experience
* Be able to help children and adults who are complete beginners in Spanish

This could suit a teacher, tutor, teaching assistant, nanny, babysitter, au pair-style helper, or someone with experience supporting families learning Spanish as a second language.
