Dear future au pair,

We are so happy you're reading this! Somewhere out there, there’s a lovely person (yes, you) thinking about joining a family to share laughs, daily life, and probably a few dance moves in the kitchen—and we’d love it to be with us!

Let us introduce ourselves. We’re a cheerful Spanish family of four: Enrique (the dad), Miriam (the mum), and our two little whirlwinds, Lola (7) and Marina (5). We live in a small town called Madridejos, in the heart of La Mancha—yes, that La Mancha, with windmills and Don Quixote vibes everywhere.

We run a family business called La Cocina de Enrique, where we cook traditional Spanish food with lots of love and garlic (don’t worry, we brush our teeth). We’re quite busy, but we always make time for cuddles, jokes, and homemade desserts.

Lola is curious, kind, and always full of questions. She’s currently in a deep phase of asking “why?” about everything. Marina, on the other hand, believes she's a unicorn most of the time and might ask you to call her “Princesa del Arcoiris” before breakfast. They're both loving, funny, and will probably want to braid your hair or dress you up for a pretend wedding within the first week.

We live in a flat. We also have a special place nearby called Villa Molina, where we spend weekends outdoors, playing, barbecuing, or organizing treasure hunts that somehow always end with chocolate.

We’re looking for someone warm, responsible, and playful. Your job would be helping with the girls—getting them ready in the mornings, playing with them, speaking some English (or Spanish, if you're learning), and maybe dancing a little to keep the spirits high. In exchange, we promise you'll feel at home, eat well (very well!), and laugh a lot.

We’re not perfect—sometimes we burn the toast or forget where we parked the car—but we believe in kindness, communication, and turning ordinary days into little adventures.

If you’re looking for a family that will welcome you with open arms (and possibly a plate of tortilla española), we might just be your people.

Looking forward to meeting you soon!

Warm hugs from
Miriam, Enrique, Lola & Marina
