Description
Hello! We are a family of 4 with twin daughters (2.5years old). They are funny and spunky girls who love to play outside, read books, dance, hike and go on bike rides. This fall/winter from Sept 10 onwards, we are looking for two workawayers (couple or friends) to help us with kids and daily life in Japan. We are seeking responsible workaway travelers who have experience with toddlers.
If you enjoy playing with kids, reading picture books, playing at parks, going for picnics, music, biking, hiking, swimming, etc, we could be a great fit for you. We will only consider non-smoking/non-vaping volunteers. When you reach out to us, please confirm that you do not smoke or vape.
For the winter months of Jan - Mar, we are hoping to find someone who is comfortable driving in the snow and has an International Drivers License. We might be going to snow country (2-3 hours drive away) for a few family ski trips and would appreciate extra hands to help with kids and driving! -
