    Description

    Come join us in the Yukon and spend an adventurous summer there!

    We are Matthew, Cristina and our baby Lucas. Lucas is currently almost 11 months old and will turn one year old in May. He is a sensitive, curious, and expressive baby who thrives with calm, patient, observant caregivers willing to learn his cues and routines.

    Cristina is very warm, communicative, and direct, and values honesty and teamwork. Matthew is calm, steady, and practical. We value kindness, respect, and clear communication in our home. We also value flexibility, steadiness and the capability to adapt to our ever changing enviornment)

    Life in the Yukon is peaceful, remote, and incredibly beautiful, with long summer daylight hours, wilderness landscapes, wildlife, and many opportunities for hiking, exploring, and outdoor adventure. Some parts of the summer may even include short stays (up to two weeks) living in a large camper in remote areas. We are looking for someone excited by this kind of environment, not intimidated by it. We are looking for support in house chores as well as occasionally watching over our baby. Ideally 20ish hours of work per week but the schedule is flexible.

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    We love exploring nature, hiking, being in the mountains, and spending time outdoors as a family. Before having Lucas we often spent time in the backcountry, and now we are excited to continue exploring with him as he grows. We value a peaceful lifestyle and meaningful experiences rather than busy city life.
