Description
Discover the joy of life in the heart of Buenos Aires while spending time with a fun, curious, and very adorable 1.5-year-old explorer (a.k.a. my child). I'm a young mom originally from Russia, living in the beautiful and historic neighborhood of Recoleta — think leafy boulevards, elegant architecture, cozy cafés, and lots of tango spirit in the air.
Our home is a peaceful, welcoming space full of laughter, toys, and baby giggles (with the occasional toddler tantrum — let's keep it real). I live here with my little one and our wonderful professional nanny, who helps during the day. So no, you won’t be alone or doing everything yourself — this is about sharing energy and lending a hand where needed, not replacing a full-time nanny!
If you enjoy spending time with children, have a gentle heart and a playful spirit, and don't mind helping with light household tasks, you'll feel right at home. We’re relaxed and easygoing, and I truly value people who are kind, open-minded, and enjoy a bit of organized chaos — because, well, life with a toddler!
In return, you’ll have the chance to experience one of the most iconic neighborhoods of Buenos Aires, meet friendly locals, sip yerba mate under jacaranda trees, and enjoy the rich cultural rhythm of the city. I’d love to share insights about local life, Russian tea rituals (yes, those exist), or even swap recipes or travel stories.
Come join our little team — there's lots of heart here, and room for yours too. 💛

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Living with us is not just about helping, it’s about inviting us into a little world full of connections, learning, movement, and meaningful moments (plus the laughter of children and spontaneous dance breaks).
As a yoga and qigong instructor with a deep love for holistic living, I’m always happy to share my knowledge of mindful movement, energy practices, and simple daily rituals that help us find balance in this hectic world. Whether you’re interested in learning about breathing exercises, morning rituals, or how to stretch your spine after a long day on the road, you’ll find plenty to love.
I’m also an experienced traveler — I’ve been to over 30 countries and carry a backpack full of stories, ideas, and helpful tips. I’d love to swap travel stories, hear about your journey, and maybe even plan imaginary adventures over a cup of tea or mate.
My 18-month-old may be little, but they are already a fountain of creativity, energy, and love. Being around them often feels like a reminder to live in the moment, laugh for no reason, and turn everyday moments into play. I believe that children teach us as much (if not more!) as we teach them – so if you are open to their magic, you will leave with a fuller heart than when you arrived.
When it comes to community and connection, Buenos Aires is a vibrant, soulful city. I would love to introduce you to the local cafes, parks, and restaurants. Depending on your interests, you can easily connect with people here – whether you love music, movement, culture, or just good conversation.
Wedding people from all over the world is always a gift. I truly enjoy learning about different cultures, perspectives, and life paths. Whether we share a meal, philosophy, or just a quiet conversation, I believe in true exchange - heart to heart, person to person.

Help
It’s a mix of helping hands, happy hearts, and maybe a few baby dance parties!
Your main role will be to support me with light housework and occasionally spend time with my adorable and lively 1.5-year-old. This isn’t a full-time nanny job – we already have a wonderful professional nanny – but rather a positive, calm, and helpful presence in our daily routine.
Typical tasks might include:
House cleaning
Grocery shopping and meal preparation
Helping with laundry or dishes
Playing with the baby while I step away for a while
Running small errands if needed
Nothing physically demanding or overwhelming – mostly light, everyday tasks where an extra pair of hands and a kind heart make all the difference.
Love language exchange? Me too! I speak English, Spanish and Russian and am always happy to practice or help you with Russian, and would love to learn more of the language you bring with you. If you are the type who enjoys multicultural conversations over a cup of tea or mate, we will get along great.
Are you creative? That’s a huge bonus! Whether you play an instrument, enjoy crafting, love to cook, or have experience with mindfulness or storytelling, these skills are more than welcome. I would love for my child to be surrounded by different forms of affectionate expression, and for you to feel free to share what lights you up.
I believe in a warm, respectful environment where we support each other – and hopefully laugh along the way. If you are kind, responsible and love the idea of being part of a cozy home in beautiful Buenos Aires, we would love to welcome you.

Accommodation
A beautiful, spacious apartment in the best traditions of Buenos Aires. A quiet apartment without street and transport sounds in the central area, which is rare. 24-hour concierge, high security. A huge Christmas tree and birds singing in the city center. New building with a swimming pool and sauna. One apartment per floor without neighbors. Private bathroom. Two loggias, an office for work. Heated floors for the cold period and air conditioners in each room for the summer. Fully equipped kitchen. You go to the store and cook for us, I pay for the groceries in full. Laundry room with a dishwasher and washing machine, robot vacuum cleaner. Many beautiful green parks nearby.
What else ...
Living in Recoleta means you’re right in the heart of Buenos Aires — and I really mean right in it. On your time off, you can explore the city's most iconic spots just by stepping outside. We're within walking distance of beautiful parks (perfect for a sunny siesta or book break), historic cemeteries (yes, they’re stunning here!), charming cafés, art museums, weekend markets, and more restaurants than you'll know what to do with. Craving empanadas at midnight? This city’s got you covered.
The subway (Subte) and buses are just a short walk from the apartment, so getting around is easy and cheap — whether you’re heading to Palermo’s street art, San Telmo’s tango vibes, or La Boca’s colorful chaos. Buenos Aires is a city that invites walking, wandering, and getting a little lost (in a good way).
As for life at home, I keep a peaceful, respectful, and cozy vibe. It’s not a party house — it’s more of a haven. I value kindness, honesty, and good communication. If something’s on your mind, let’s talk about it over tea. Shoes off inside, please, and let’s all do our part to keep the space clean and harmonious — especially with a little one around who loves crawling and climbing everything!
You’ll have enough free time to explore the city, rest, practice your hobbies, or just enjoy slow mornings with coffee and birdsong (yes, we do have that here too — surprisingly often!).
If you're looking for a warm home base with real human connection, balanced energy, and one tiny person who might just steal your heart — this could be a great fit.

I’d love to welcome someone who is kind, calm, respectful of space and cleanliness, and above all — someone who genuinely loves children and can bring a gentle, grounding presence into our home. This isn’t just about helping with tasks — it’s also about being emotionally present, kind-hearted, and supportive during a special and sometimes challenging time in life: early motherhood, solo edition. If you're someone who knows how powerful a warm hug or a kind word can be — you’re already more valuable than gold. This place might be especially lovely for people who are looking for a slower, more intentional lifestyle, rather than rushing between calls and deadlines. Digital nomads are welcome — but just know that our home is not a “quiet coworking retreat” all day long. There’s a joyful little human here who sings, explores, occasionally throws things, and reminds us all to stay flexible. You’re welcome to work here if you’re able to structure your schedule around a bit of movement and shared space. The apartment has good Wi-Fi, and you’ll have room to focus during calmer hours — especially if you’re an early bird or can work in the evenings. Communication and balance are key, and I’m happy to make it work if you are, too. Ultimately, I’m looking for a person who sees this not just as a stay, but as a meaningful exchange, with softness, humor, and mutual care.
