    Description

    Hi there!

    I am a creative person currently dividing my time between the UK and Colombia. I moved back to Colombia last year and found a beautiful place in La Vega, Cundinamarca.

    I still work in the UK, so I travel frequently between the two countries. While I'm away, my little sister 20yrs takes care of my beloved pets: Maximus, my gorgeous Romanian shepherd, who also travelled with me from the UK, and Hope, our cute kitten.

    La Vega is a picturesque town surrounded by stunning natural beauty and is just an hour away from Bogotá by bus. It is well-connected and becomes a bustling tourist spot on weekends. My little house is situated just outside the town in a relaxing, secure, and tranquil area. You can easily walk to the town or take a short bus ride.

    What I'm Looking For:
    I'm seeking for a female who would like to help look after our pets while my sister is studying or going out, both are independent pets. She's currently learning English and would love someone who can help her practice and improve her skills.

    More than anything, this is about companionship for my sister and our pets. The role includes light help with cooking and keeping the house organized – nothing too formal, just sharing everyday chores.

    What You Get:

    A peaceful and comfortable place to stay

    The opportunity to immerse yourself in a beautiful Colombian town

    A chance to practice or improve your Spanish

    Friendly neighbours and a strong support network

    Ideally, I'm looking for someone who can stay for a few weeks, and you're welcome to return if you're traveling around.

    If this sounds like something you'd be interested in, please feel free to reach out!
