    Description

    Hello! We are Sophia and Raphael, and we have just moved in our new home in Corfu. We recently welcomed our first baby boy, little Gabriel, so life is busy, joyful, and sometimes a little overwhelming! We’d love to welcome a person or a couple who enjoy being around families and who can give us a hand while sharing cultural experiences.

    Raphael 38 is a gardener and lover of Nature and has totally green hands and gladly sharing his knowledge and passion for Nature. Sophia 36 is a holistic dancer and dance/yoga teacher. Our Vision is to create a Retreat Center in our Land, that can host different Retreats and Workshops in the future on holistic healing, permaculture and other.
    We would love some visionary Souls to dream with us slowly into being the future of this land!

    Cultural Exchange
    We’d love to share our language, traditions, and local area with you. In return, we’re curious to learn about your culture, food, and experiences. Raphael comes from Germany and Sophia is Greek, and between us we speak English. We love to be around people with an open Heart and a positive attitude on Life.

  • Help

    Help

    We’re mainly looking for help with our 1.5 year old baby and a little bit help around the house and garden.
    - Babysitting for 3-4 hours per day
    - Tidying and house cleaning or gardening / outdoor projects in our private land for 1-2 hours

    We don’t expect full-time childcare, just an extra set of hands to make daily life smoother.

    The Weekends are free and during the week we usually ask for help around 9.00-14.00 in the morning.

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    There are many nearby beaches, and lovely village of Avliotes. Also just 15 minutes by car to the Arillas magnificent beach, cafes and restaurants and concerts on spirituality. A good idea would be for the person to rent a bike or car, so as to be more independent.
