  Description

  Hi there, I'm a Mom with 2 boys ages 9 & 11. We live in a big old 5 bedroom house nestled in the jungles of Puerto Viejo, on the South Carribean Coast. We have 4 dogs; 3 poodles and 1 rescue. We live a 5 minute walk from a safe, beautiful beach that has been rated on National Geographic's top 10 Beaches in the world.
  
  Here you can walk for miles in either direction, enjoying the unspoiled natural beaches. There are many activities in our community to participate in from volley ball, yoga, dance classes and more. There are many restaurants and shops in our neighbourhood. Puerto Viejo area is a vibrant, friendly and beautiful place to be in.

  Help

  Help with dog walks on the beach, light house work/cooking, and keeping an eye on the boys. The work is light. I go to work and really just need someone to keep things moving and the boys safe while I'm gone at work. The boys are older and play independently with their friends who live in other houses nearby. Sometimes you might go and sit on the beach with them and the neighbours. Someone who is happy to cook some beans and potatoes ready for dinner, prep a simple salad, sweep the floor and throw in a load of laundry. We have a cleaner who comes for deep cleaning twice per week.
