Program Details

We live in a family home in the countryside of Andalusia, surrounded by nature, animals and a simple, creative pace of life. The volunteer work consists of morning support with organizing the home so that the family can move through the day more calmly. Supporting the one-year-old girl, accompanying her in play and exploration. Support with meals, as well as small domestic tasks, such as keeping the house clean and tidy. We create a respectful, warm and family-like environment, with a connection to nature, loving presence with the girls and quiet moments💛 We do not accept smokers. And we ask to avoid using the phone in front of the girls.


Activities & Shift

Approximate daily routine:

8:00 — We have breakfast ☕🍞
8:30 — Off to school 🎒
14:30 — We have lunch when they return from school 🍽️
20:30 — Dinner 🍽️

Main tasks:
• Support with breakfast and keeping the kitchen clean and organized. 🧼
• Accompany the girls from conscious play and without screens. 🧒🏻
