Join a family and help out with their sweet and active daughter and doggie in Valle Dorado, Mexico

  Description

  We are a small family consisting of me (Mama), my almost 3 year old daughter, and our 7 year old Mexican mutt. We live in a beautiful part of Mexico surrounded by gorgeous beaches within a 10 minute drive but walking distance to everything from local taco stands and shopping to major grocery stores and movie theaters. Our home is a bright airy condo with a private yard within a gated community that has a swimming pool, playground, and adults only jacuzzi.
  
  Our family style is actively introverted :) We enjoy a lot of time playing at home and in the garden but also enjoy adventuring to beaches near and far or exploring jungle hikes and waterfalls. We are hoping to welcome someone into the mix that would enjoy those activities too but also feel comfortable exploring on their own some. I have lived in this part of Mexico for 7 years and have a great community of friends and and families in the area so we will often visit the surrounding towns between Puerto Vallarta (20 minutes south of us) and Lo de Marcos (1 hour north of us) and will welcome you to join. We do have a car but for solo adventuring, there is a great public bus system about 15 minutes walking that will take you all over.
  
  I am happy to share more details about our life, my parenting style, the area, or any other questions you may have through direct messaging.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  Nayarit is a culturally rich state in Mexico that has a diverse range of towns and cities to explore in parallel to the nature and wildlife opportunities from both the jungle and the ocean. We live in a community that has both expats, locals, and tourists to provide you with a great variety of experiences that allow you to submerse yourself in the native indigenous culture one day then attend a five star dinner the next. There are ample opportunities to improve your Spanish, explore the local art scene, work on your surfing or kite boarding, among many other things.
  
  Your time with us will be filled with local immersion and can be a great introduction to building and navigating a non traditional and creative life in a foreign country.
  
  We are 20 minutes from the Puerto Vallarta International Airport, offering cheap flights domestically, and a 2.5 hour drive on the new highway to Guadalajara if you're interested in taking mini trips to check out other parts of Mexico on your days off.

  Help

  I'm a single mom who works and looking for some help with my very sweet and active daughter and doggie. I work remotely from a home office so the schedule can be flexible but I would expect around 15-20 hours of help each week ranging from childcare, light housekeeping, cooking, and playing with our dog or taking her on a walk in the neighborhood.

  You will have a private room with A/C and fans, and a private bathroom on the second level of the condo. Our home has A/C through out, a washer, dryer, full kitchen, living room, back patio, and gated yard/garden. It is located in a gated community with 24 hour security, a community pool, common space, playground, and adults only jacuzzi.

  What else ...

  We are ideally looking for someone who will stay for minimum of one month and prefer females. Our home is definitely feminine energy driven and we are looking for someone who can mirror the gentle, creative, slightly spiritual vibe we strive for.
