    Description

    Hola! 🙋‍♀️I live on an Infiniti-shaped ♾️ island positioned in the biggest fresh-water lake in Central America! It’s quite a magical place with a fire volcano on one side and a water volcano on the other (our side). 💫 Views of Volcanoes or Water almost everywhere you look! 🏝️ My unschooling kids (9 and 6 years old) and I (35-year-old from Texas) would like to invite you to our family hostel on our magical island, Ometepe, in Nicaragua! ♾️🔥💦

    >>> We currently have the following needs:

    1) Tia/Tio to my KIDS...
    - My son is a 6/2 Emotional Generator (Human Design) with Aquarius Sun/Taurus Moon/Scorpio Rising. He loves animals and building/cooking/drawing/creating.
    - My daughter is a 1/3 Self-Projected Projector with a Taurus Sun and Leo Moon/Rising. She loves ALL the attention and is super girly. Grayson doesn't do traditional school... they are "unschooled" (life is school).

    We have a woman to clean and cook. What I'm seeking is someone to help love on them and play with them. I am better with babies and teenagers and struggle with the "kid" age. I need help connecting and playing. Every volunteer is different... you make the schedule with the kids that works for you. They can be your tour guide to explore the island. You can help with Minecraft, drawing, tutoring my daughter, makeup, nails, play at the beach -- we are "unschoolers". Join our family and bring your love.

    2) Assist me in building my Human Design business ONLINE - share with me your skills!
    - Easy computer work downloading/uploading.
    - if you are an influencer, help me with social media/branding/online presence

    3) Help GROW FOOD in our yard... I know nothing about gardening and I would like spinach, potatoes, and tomatoes started.

    4) Projects in the House:
    - Build two doors for our rooms
    - Build a bed for my daughter's room
    - Help fix random things

    *********

    WHAT WILL BE PROVIDED: 3 hours of work
    • Free private room here with bed/bedding, fan, hammock, towel, access to communal space in our home,
    • WiFi,
    • Support for integrating into Ometepe's life
    • I am an astrologer and Human Design Expert (ask me for the link); I gift all of my volunteers with a free $99 book and am happy to share my knowings with you.

    If you would like to be provided with unlimited rice and beans I can provide that for 2 more hours of work a day.

    To be noted: I'm not tracking your hours -- I'm a single mom seeking to find the support of those in my fractal/soul family; I ask that you come with an open and loving heart ready to love on my kids and share your gifts in whatever way it aligns.

    …….

    More about the Home/Location:
    Our large island home has three private rooms downstairs and our private family rooms upstairs. We all share a kitchen, large dining/school area, front porch with swings, backyard with covered dining, hammocks, and a plunge pool under the stars.

    We're located right on the road in Balgue (tourist side of the island) and just a 3 min walk to the lake, 30 min walk to the fresh volcano spring pool, close to stores and the famous campestre restaurant. If you need the bus, it stops right outside our door. We’re near Zopilote and El Pital (both places with many activities)

    More about me: I am a 2/4 emotional Manifestor in Human Design. In Astrology: Virgo sun/Aries moon/Aries rising. I overshare, am authentic, direct, occasionally amusing, and definitely impacting. I'm originally from Texas and moved to Nicaragua to raise my children in peace.
