  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  We are a Waldorf and Montessori inspired household. We love the outdoors and spend our free time camping, hiking, and adventuring during the summer months. We often have international students stay with us, and love sharing language and culture. We love to cook and share family meals.

  Help

  My son is 4.5 yrs old. He loves to ride his bike, skateboard, garden, climb, down hill and cross country ski. He is active and loves to play. He has a gentle temperament and loves to observe before participating in activities. He plays piano and loves to water paint. He loves story time.
  
  We are a two-home family. My son’s father has an unpredictable work schedule so we will need someone to be available for some of my work days (but not every week, and usually only up to three days a week) in exchange for healthy organic meals, and a cozy room in our home. We are very generous and kind and love sharing our home with people from all over the world.
  
  We have had a nanny from this site before and really loved our experience!
