  Description

  Hello :) Currently we are receiving 2 Workawayers maximum until end of November. We are accepting requests for December and the rest of the summer upon request since we need housesitter (1 or 2) to take care of farm animals, do some carpentry tasks and petsitting (daily routine). Preferably someone with carpentry knowledge or skills.
  
  What is your level of Spanish?
  ATTENTION: To get to Los Angeles city, you need to fly to Concepcion and take a bus to Los Angeles / or traveling by bus from Santiago (Eme bus or Tur Bus, it can take between 6 up to 8 hours). Either way, we'll pick you up at the bus station when you arrive.
  
  
  We are a family of four people, but just my mom and my sister live together in the countryside of Los Angeles, Chile. I speak English fluently but my mother wants to learn more and it is a great chance for you to learn Spanish.
  
  We need someone that can help my mom until Dec 3rd with her daily tasks in the country side. Help with some farm jobs, yard jobs, taking care of pets and animals like sheeps and pigs and help around the house. Also cooking is required this time due to special circumstances.
  We have a project to build a little cabin to be rented in 2026.
  
  We have internet.
  
  Time to work is flexible but de to special circumstances, we need to distribute your hours during the whole week.
  
  We are gonna provide accomodation, food, and ingredients for you to cook.
  This time, cooking will be considered part of the volunteering tasks and half of the time spent on cooking would be considered as work. It means if cooking takes 2 hours, 1 hour will be considered part of the hours volunteered.
  
  Please do not hesitate to contact us to have more information!
  
  Kindly
  
  Sofia
