  Description

  Hello! We’re a mixed couple living on the remote, beautiful island of Karimunjawa, Indonesia. Together with our three-year-old twins, we enjoy a laid-back, nature-connected lifestyle and are looking for a babysitter to become part of our family for the next few months.
  
  We run a small hospitality business and are well connected with both the local community and travelers visiting the island. Life here is both peaceful and chaotic, social and quiet, relaxing and adventurous; and we love it that way. We hope to find someone who will feel just as comfortable and happy in this dynamic setting.

  Spot for July

  💡 What’s it like here?
  We can host several volunteers at once, though sometimes you may also be here on your own.
  You’ll be living in a beautiful island environment, sharing daily life with our family, connecting with locals, and the guest coming and going on the island.
  
  ✨ We’re looking for someone who is:
  Proactive, reliable, and independent, yet warm and social.
  Flexible, culturally sensitive, and open to island life.
  Positive, adventurous, and fun-loving; someone who enjoys being part of family life but also values independence and personal space.
  Couples, friends traveling together, or solo volunteers – all are welcome.
  
  If that sounds like you, we’d love to welcome you into our family and projects here in Karimunjawa! 🌺
