Program Details

We are both business minded people who have decided to live on a restored horse ranch. We are open-minded and well educated looking for people who speak at least English, want to enjoy Spain and learn Spanish while teaching us about their culture and language. You must enjoy children, nature and animals.

We are very flexible on free days and hours. You can visit local attractions and mingle with the Spanish daily culture. Our days are spent doing two to three hours of activities with the kids and other work around the farm, garden and housekeeping.

Activities & Shift

We are looking for someone who loves to carry out fun activities which children and help in home-schooling, while they learn more about sustainable farming, live on a horse ranch and be part off our very intercultural family environment. We speak English, Romanian, Spanish and German. We want the experience to be varied with the opportunity for the person to come to learn about the daily life of being in Spain, enjoy teaching children, develop farming and business skills. We also run several other projects from our offices situated on the ranch which we welcome people to take part in. We are busy with pottage garden and educational English/Spanish fun camp for children between the ages of 3 and 12. Other work examples are translations, design, web development, creativity...

During the summer period from the end of June and July all visitors must speak fluent English and basic Spanish.

Rules

We enjoy people staying with us to be part of our family routine this means that you join us at breakfast, lunch and dinner if we are at home. We do not want people to come and stay in their rooms. You are living in the same house as the rest of our children so we like to maintain a family atmosphere.
