Description
We are a lively three-generation family of seven living together under one roof. I am Mama Fauziah, the heart of the home, living with my husband, our three children, and two very social and joyful grandchildren.
Our home is perched on a hillside in the natural rainforest of Kuala Teriang, on the island of Langkawi. Surrounded by lush greenery, wildlife, and fresh jungle air, it is a peaceful place for those who enjoy nature and a slower rhythm of life.
Workawayers stay on the second floor of the house. We offer two private rooms with double beds in a traditional Malay house, with shared bathroom facilities. What was once a dormitory now serves as a shared living room. There is also a large balcony with a spacious kitchen where volunteers can prepare their own meals, although restaurants are conveniently located nearby. For those who prefer camping, there is plenty of space to set up your own tent. Please note that the final 100 meters to the house is a hillside path, accessible by motorbike.
We welcome volunteers who are happy to help with light maintenance and childcare and to become part of our family life. In return, we offer a chance to reconnect with nature, experience daily life in a Malaysian family, and build meaningful connections—hopefully friendships that bring you back again in the future.

Help
1. Maintenance: We would greatly appreciate help with simple carpentry repairs, small tasks, as well as gardening and general maintenance. To ensure that the experience is meaningful and beneficial for everyone, we require a minimum stay of two weeks.
2. Au pair: We are looking for someone who can look after with our 3-year-old granddaughter and her 1.5-year-old little brother, who are both easy to connect with. We hope to find a patient, creative person who enjoys engaging with young children. Your role would be to care for them 5 hours a day, spending time playing, doing crafts, and supporting simple learning activities. We suggest a try out time for a week and see how it works for everyone.
