    Description

    My name is Fiona, together with my husband and our almost 4 yo daughter, we live in our own small Nature lodge in the middle of the forest, 50 km away from Santa Marta (remote location).
    Our daughter would love to have a companion for interactive activities (eg. swimming lessons, painting, gardening, dancing etc.)
    We would also love someone to help us with tasks related to the project, such as social media posting, guest interaction, gardening, kitchen help and more.

    We build our finca from scratch, we developed the whole land by ourselves. We love living in the middle of nature, surrounded by trees and birds.

    Please note that we are looking for only 1 FEMALE volunteer, no couples.
    We are in a REMOTE location. 2 kms from the main road, up in the mountains.

    Help

    The main idea is to have a companion for our little daughter. She goes to kindergarten 3 times per week in the morning. We would love someone to organize activities mainly in the afternoon or the days that she is at home all day long.
    She is very independent and fluent in German and Spanish and understands quite a lot of English.
    Our thoughts are swimming lessons, singing, dancing, gardening, handcraft, art, music etc.

    We are a nature lodge in the middle of the mountain, our project is very small and managed by me and my husband. We would love someone to help us with tasks related to our project. If you love to learn how to cook, that would be great. You can also interact with our guests if you like. Max. 5 hours per day, mix of child care and kitchen help and general help around the finca.
