Description
We need people for October and November!
Hello all!
My name is Yarden and I am a 30yo single mom to a charming 3 years old boy named Benny. We live in a beautiful town in Israel. My son was born with a genetic neuromuscular disorder called Myotonic Dystrophy that affects the muscles of the body and causes weakness. He was born in the US and was in danger for his life. I am born and raised in Israel and we came back here when my son was 9 month old. Since then he achieved many goals and he became the sweet little boy that he is.
I am a working mom from home, I do muscle rehabilitation and physical therapy. I run the company from home.
In my past I did a lot of workaway, I was in Fuerteventura, Denmark, all over the US and I always loved it! From all of my travels the workaway experience always had its special thing and I am excited to keep doing it from a host point of view.
We have been hosting workawayers since July 2022 and since then my son has got so many different experiences and skills- he speaks Hebrew and English (and learned a bit of German and Hungarian from our lovely workawayers), from not walking to walking with a walker- this kid is already walking on his own and started running and playing soccer! His sense of humor can't stop you from laughing!
He learned something new from each one that stayed with us!
I am looking for a guy/girl/couple to come and stay here, I live with my son in a big villa home in Pardessia- we moved there in August 2023 after staying right next to my parents that lives down the street.
We have 2 bedrooms available for workawayers with a queen size bed that have everything you'll need. And a shared bathroom (for workawayers and Benji).
My son is in kindergarten everyday from 7am till 4pm. Except for Saturdays and holidays. I will need help on the afternoons, between 4pm to 7pm and on weekends, sometimes in the mornings and sometimes on evenings. At nights there will always be at least one more adult in the house, me or my parents that lives down the street. help needed- playing with my son and help with his routine, some help around the house, cleaning laundry cooking or whatever you like to do!
During the day you are free to wonder around to wherever you want, I have lived all over Israel so recommendations or showing around the country is definitely a possibility! I have 2 big nice gardens that I'm currently adjusting and there are many things to see around.
We are 25 minutes from Tel Aviv and we are just a few minutes from lots of nice beaches.
I am looking for someone to stay minimum of 3 weeks and preferably longer since my son takes time to create a connection to someone.
I am offering as well as accommodation and food payment during your stay. 100ILS a week.
If you love kids and have a way with them and want to visit beautiful Israel we will be happy to host you!
