I got an e-mail today with a potential family placement! I'm not sure whether or not this will be the family I'll end up with, but it is exciting that things are finally falling into place. I still don't know if all of this is going to work out or whatnot, but I hope it does! Here are the family stats:
Mother and Father
Two children: 5 yr old boy, 2 yr old girl
Parents speak Spanish, Catalan, English, French, and Italian
They want 35 hrs/week and will give 1.5 days of free time
They live in Sant Cugat, which is a suburban town (I think) just inland of Barcelona... about a 30 minute drive or so. They have a pool in their backyard and live close to a park.
Time to stay: Sept 1st, 2008 - July 31, 2009
This could work, but I'm not positive yet because I need to make sure that it will be easy for me to get transportation to my Spanish class in Barcelona. So, I'm hoping that the public transportation system has some frequent routes between Sant Cugat and Barcelona. I also hope that they can be a little flexible with the arrival date because I was hoping to start mid-September so that I can be secure in my finanaces for this trip.
So, basically, I just need to get into contact with them (the agency will initiate for us), and find out this info. I am a little nervous to take care of a 2 year old... but we'll see. I just hope this process doesn't take too long because I will still need to apply for my visa in person in San Francisco.
