  Description

  Hello! We are a French-Peruvian family living in the beautiful surf town of Máncora, Peru. We have a sweet and energetic 4-year-old son. We are currently looking for someone kind, responsible, and caring to help us take care of our son Elio in the afternoons.
  
  Máncora is a laid-back surf town on the northern coast of Peru, known for its warm weather, beautiful beaches, and consistent waves year-round. It’s a favorite destination for surfers, nature lovers, and travelers looking for a relaxed lifestyle by the sea. With a mix of local charm and international influence, Máncora offers a unique blend of Peruvian culture, delicious food, and a friendly, welcoming community.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  Staying with us is more than just a job—it’s a chance to enjoy a rich cultural exchange in a relaxed, beachside setting. We are a French-Peruvian family, so you’ll experience a mix of languages, traditions, and delicious food from both cultures.
  
  You’ll be part of our daily life, sharing conversations, meals, and local experiences. Máncora is a vibrant international community, and you’ll also meet people from all over the world—especially those drawn here by the surf and the laid-back lifestyle.
  
  Whether you’re interested in learning Spanish or French, exploring Peruvian coastal life, or simply enjoying meaningful time with a kind family in a beautiful setting, we’d love to welcome you into our world.

  Help

  We’re looking for someone to help us take care of our 4-year-old son in the afternoons, Monday to Friday, 5 hours a day.
  
  He finishes school at 1pm, so the day would start with picking him up with the quad bike or ATV (we’ll provide it and show you how to use it, if needed). Then, you’ll prepare a simple lunch, and spend the afternoon playing, doing creative activities, or enjoying time outside.
  
  Occasionally, you may also need to drop him off at nearby activities (surf lessons, etc.), all within short distances in town.
  
  I work from home until around 2pm or 3pm, so I’ll be around and available to support if needed.
  
  We’re looking for someone who truly enjoys being around young children, is responsible, playful, and caring. Experience with kids is a big plus, but most important is your attitude and energy.

  We provide comfortable bedroom which is private and sharing bathroom with our son. The house is new, we moved in 6 months ago. All furnitures are new as well. We live in a quiet and safe neighborhood.
  We will provide food and whatever items is bought for family meals, but I do expect some help in the kitchen if needed for meal prep.
  We do have a quad bike or ATV that you could use occasionally in turns with me.

  What else ...

  We’re looking for someone caring, responsible, and genuinely interested in spending time with young children. Our son is curious, active, and loves to play—so we’d love someone who is playful, creative, and patient.
  
  The ideal person is also adaptable and open-minded, able to learn quickly and adjust to our family rhythm and daily routines.
  
  If you’re looking for a meaningful, cultural experience and enjoy the simple joys of life by the sea, we’d be happy to hear from you!
