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.

🌴 Volunteer with Us in Karimunjawa – Family, Creativity & Community 🌴
We love sharing our space, our projects, and island life with volunteers from all over the world. There’s always something going on – and plenty of space for multiple volunteers to join in at the same time!
✨ Opportunities to help (choose what fits you best):
👶 With the twins: play, learning activities, cooking, helping structure the household, and lending a hand around the house.
🌱 In the garden: starting a vegetable garden, creating a grass lawn, improving our green spaces, and enjoying hands-on outdoor work.
🎨 Creative projects: painting murals, making art, or bringing your own DIY ideas to life.
♻️ Eco projects: helping us set up and run recycling initiatives at our business.
In addition, we always love volunteers who want to join us at the local school or support neighborhood projects.
💡 What’s it like here?
We can host several volunteers at once, though sometimes you may also be here on your own.
Tasks are flexible: you can focus on what excites you most or try a mix.
You’ll be living in a beautiful island environment, sharing daily life with our family, connecting with locals, and joining creative and eco-minded projects.
🌟 Who would enjoy this:
Flexible, open-minded people who like to get involved in family, nature, and community.
Couples, friends traveling together, or solo volunteers – all are welcome.
Skills in childcare, gardening, art, or sustainability are amazing, but curiosity and enthusiasm are just as valuable.
✨ 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.
If that sounds like you, we’d love to welcome you into our family and projects here in Karimunjawa! 🌺
