  Description

  Help around our small farm. Work with horses and spend time in our small beach town. I am a mom of 4. My oldest son passed away 3 years ago. My oldest daughter lives nearby and visits often with my 2 granddaughters. My youngest daughter lives about an hour and a half away and attends the University of Florida. She visits often and stays with us during her school breaks. She is studying to be a veterinarian. My youngest son is 12 years old. Since losing my oldest son, I have found it difficult to keep up with daily chores. I honestly want to be able to enjoy the time with my children and grandchildren without the burden of so many unfinished tasks. I homeschool my son so he is with me all of the time. We love to be outdoors and working on various projects and playing with our pets.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  I live in a small town in Florida (Flagler County). We are close to the beach and many other beautiful natural areas. We are a one hour drive from Orlando if you are interested in Disney World and the other theme parks and attractions. We have annual passes and love rollercoasters. We have horses, cats, dogs, Guinnea pigs and chickens. We love adventure and we usually have more projects than we can handle. We are not the normal American family as my husband and I don't have regular jobs. We earn our living through investments and we educate our child at home. We frequently have foster pets. You will need to be comfortable with animals.

  I live on a small hobby farm with my husband and 12 year old son. I would like help with household chores, cleaning, organizing, meal prep, yard work, barn chores, animal care, gardening, house sitting. I would like help with daily chores so that I can spend more time with my son and not feel guilty and overwhelmed about unfinished chores.

  Accommodation

  We have a separate area with one bedroom, kitchen, bathroom, living room, washer/dryer. It has a queen bed and a queen fold out sofa. We also have a pool that you would be welcome to use. There is always plenty of food available. I don't cook every day but I would like to cook more often. I am hoping with some help I will have more time for meal planning and food prep. I am open to ideas about food.

  What else ...

  There are many things to do in central Florida. The beaches and theme parks are the most popular. We live in a rural area so there is not much public transportation but I am happy to drive to towns close by if needed.
