Description
We are a small family living on a beautiful island in Sumatra, Indonesia, surrounded by waves, jungle, and a peaceful rhythm of life.
In terms of help, we’re looking for around 5 hours per day in total:
2–3 hours a day with our child (playing, exploring, discovering the world together).
Around 1-2 hour helping with simple daily tasks around the house (laundry, light cleaning, kitchen, general tidying).
So some days you will help around 3 hours/day, and another days, maximum 5 hours/day.
The day usually starts early (around 6am), and before midday you’ll have the rest of the day free to enjoy your time: perfect for someone who wants to surf, rest, read, or simply live close to nature without needing much city life or external entertainment.
In return, we offer a truly special experience: living on a remote island surrounded by nature, with time to disconnect, learn, and immerse yourself in a different culture. You’ll have your own room (sometimes private, occasionally shared with our yoga teacher), enjoy fresh meals every day, surf in a world-class waves, and have access to yoga, gym, pool, and beach. You’ll also be part of a vibrant surf camp, meeting new people from all over the world every week.
If this resonates with you, we’d love to hear from you 😊
