  Description

  Are you passionate about children, nature, or adventure? Come be part of our entrepreneurial family in the stunning Panglao Island, Bohol, Philippines! We left our home in Australia 6 months ago to give our kids an experience of a lifetime. We are a dynamic family of four – Dad, Mum, our 5-year-old daughter, and our 3-year-old son – along with our amazing nanny. We live just 5 minutes from the beach and are surrounded by the best diving spots, eco villages/farms and seaside locations the island has to offer.
  
  We are looking for a fun-loving, responsible female (aged 22-35) with some au-pair or youth experience to help with unschooling/homeschooling our children. You’ll have your own private room with air-con, enjoy and help prepare home-cooked meals, and be part of a warm, nurturing family environment. You'll also have the chance to immerse yourself in the vibrant local culture while supporting our kids’ educational journey.
  
  Our property is spacious with five bedrooms, a beautiful pool, and a large outdoor area for dining, for play and learning. We have a variety of indoor and outdoor spaces designed to foster creativity and exploration. You’ll also have plenty of downtime to enjoy the beach, go on hikes, or take part in local activities.
