  Description

  Hello, my name is Steven, and I have been using several platforms for hosting, traveling, and meeting wonderful people worldwide. I had the chance to try Workaway, and loved it, so my family and I decided to keep more active and become part of this awesome community :)
  
  I work in a bank as a Fintech Product Manager, so I'm usually busy during the weekdays, but on weekends I practice bouldering, love to mix music as a Dj, and enjoy going to electronic raves as well as hiking or climbing, so you are always welcome to join with my friends :)
  
  We are a family of five; mom, dad, brother, sister, and two friendly dogs. My Sister has a wonderful two-year-old daughter named Juliana, who is very sweet and curious.
  Our home is located in The Valley of Los Chillos; it is a peaceful and beautiful part of Quito, not too far from downtown; the valley is full of a lot of green areas, and because it's a valley, hiking around the mountains is pretty easy.
  
  We are searching for an English-speaking (preferably mother-tongue) girl to support us with caring for a 2-year-old girl. We need someone who has experience in babysitting and enjoys being around children.

  I do outdoor activities, hiking, climbing, and photography. Also, I love electronic music, indie, funky, and disco music; I have professional Dj equipment, so I can teach you how to mix music! :) I will be glad to show you around all the nature places near Quito! Also, I enjoy cooking traditional food or learning new receipts to try something new! Please show me new culinary knowledge!

  Help

  During the day, my sister works as a medical doctor in the hospital. We need help during the weekdays, 3-4 hours. Or, some days, the father of Juliana is looking for her, so no help is needed. Each day can differ because my sister doesn't need help every day. So you could help with daily tasks, like cooking, clearing, and organizing home staff, or enjoy your day.
  
  It is essential to find someone who enjoys spending time with our children. We need someone reliable, flexible, and communicative.
