  Description

  Hi my name is Kate and I live on the island of Skiathos, Greece with family.
  I have just emigrated from the UK to help look after my elderly father, and i am with my little boy who is 5 and my dog. My husband will be joining us soon.
  We are setting up a life here and i need some help. Especially with looking after my boy and helping with our wild home schooling.
  
  We have a large house 10 minutes walk to the beach and mountains and 20 minutes to the town.
  
  We are a happy family with lots of activity and you will have a great time! If you speak Greek and can help us learn that would be a bonus ♡

  Help

  I have a large house and family that I need help taking care of, so a few house chores, but most importantly, I would love beautiful souls to help look after my 5 year old and support our home schooling and wild schooling journey.
  We are connected to a local NGO where we are learning about sustainable living practices, gardening and becoming good humans!.
  This takes place 3 times a week and we would LOVE a happy soul to join us with this and share some amazing educational insights and beautiful energy.
