    Description

    Hi! I’m Charles. Originally from France, I’ve been living here in the beautiful mountains of San Agustín for 10 years now. I manage a small farm with 1,000 coffee trees and some guest cottages.
    ​Life here is beautiful but busy! I live with my two daughters (ages 7 and 3), and after a decade of managing the land, I would be delighted to have some company and a helping hand. I’m looking for someone to share this lifestyle with and help me with gardening, light DIY projects, and our artisanal coffee harvests.

    Help

    I am looking for someone independent and proactive. Between the farm and my daughters, I cannot always give constant instructions. I need someone who sees what needs to be done and takes initiative.
    ​Main tasks:
    ​Gardening & Maintenance: Mowing the lawn (following lunar cycles), tending to the greenhouse, and general upkeep.
    ​Digital & Social Media: I need help capturing the beauty of the farm! Helping me take photos, edit short videos (Reels/TikTok), and stay active on social media to promote the cottages.
    ​Family Support: When I am working on the farm, you help with the kids (ages 7 and 3).
    ​We work as a team: when I am with my daughters, you take care of the outdoors or the digital side. If you love nature, creativity, and are used to managing tasks on your own, you’ll feel right at home. We have Starlink internet, perfect for uploading content or staying connected.
