  Description

  Hello I am a full time entrepreneur/horticulturalist who enjoys the best things in life. I have devoted my life to gardening and healing people with herbs and natural medicines and own an indoor commercial gardening facility. Theres never enough time in the day for me and Im looking for some help around the home in exchange for room and board. Short or long term, must be good with kids as I have a child who homeschools in elementary classes at home.
  
  Cooking and nanny experience is a plus, drivers licence is not necessary but could come in handy. We are looking to interview possible workawayers on the phone/skype or even in person and see how it goes!! If you want to know more we can certainly set up a time to meet/chat and qualify the opportunity and get to know more beforehand. Im looking for synergies with workawayers and win win scenarios that can expand and enrich both workawayers and our family with positive memories and new experiences from people all around the world. If this sounds interesting or possibly fun to you, message us for more information we would love to hear from you!!

  What else ...

  Privacy and respect are to be expected, no drama please we are a very happy family who’s only policy is honesty. We will treat you like our own family if we welcome you into our home we expect you to be honest and treat the home like its your own. The old saying “mi casa’s tu casa” applies here. We also dont allow visitors without permission, so you cant bring people to the home but your welcome to visit others anywhere else. Our home is not open to the public, we have a comforable and safe space for our family to relax when we’re not working and you can feel rest assured you wont be bothered by strangers durring your stay. Its our home and we like to keep it private but we enjoy going out and socializing outside the home. Drivers licence would be nice but not required, we can work you into our schedule and help you, help us, help you!! But it has to be fun :) Cheers!!
