Details
Description
We are Bahar and Jayson. In September 2025 we relocated to Uruguay from Hawaii, with our two young sons, Omid and Azad. We hope to be back on a farm again in the near future but for now we're content living a five minute walk away from the ocean, tending to our small garden, raising our children, and trying our best to learn Spanish and adjust to our new lives here in a new country. We're looking for someone who can help us watch our two boys a couple hours a day in exchange for a comfortable private room, 3 meals a day, and ample opportunities to explore this beautiful place we now call home.

Molokai is really unlike any other Hawaiian island and so are Bahar, Jayson, their family, place and animals. Working with the animals wasn't really work for me because I had an incredible amount of fun doing it. I also learned a lot about plants and weeding and even got to plant my own tree! I could not have felt more welcome and appreciated.… read more

Hard worker, very knowledgeable about plants & herbs, great with all our animals, and she became an active, super helpful part of the household right away, and was a great addition to dinner conversation. She's also an incredible artist and was able to capture our dog Bumpy in the most beautiful way!
