    Description

    Hola!

    We are a Chilean family of four living in the countryside near Catemu. My husband and I now have a 10-month-old baby girl, and we would love to welcome someone who enjoys spending time with children and sharing family life. Our baby is very cheerful and curious, and she loves nature!

    As the mother, I work from home most of the time and look after our baby for most of the day. I need some support at certain times during the day so I can focus on work or other responsibilities.

    We are looking for help caring for our baby during those times, as well as with everyday household tasks, such as cooking, tidying up, general house cleaning and helping keep our home organised. Someone patient, caring and responsible, ideally with experience looking after babies, would be a lovely fit for our family.

    We live on a 600-hectare property with fruit trees, flower beds, lawns and a vegetable garden. We share our home with lovely cats and easygoing dogs. The surrounding countryside is a mix of farmland and small forests, with beautiful views across the valley.

    The nearest village, Catemu, is 3 kilometres away, and Llay Llay is 15 kilometres away. We are approximately 100 kilometres from Santiago and around 100 kilometres from the coast, including Valparaíso and Viña del Mar.

    We love learning about other cultures and would be happy for you to share yours with us! Hospitality and cultural exchange are an important part of our family life. We hope you will feel welcome in our home, take part in our daily routines and enjoy exchanging stories, traditions and experiences with us.
