Description
We’re a conscious family living in Costa Rica, raising our 1 year old daughter as naturally and holistically as possible.
My husband has been really busy working a lot lately and I am in need of some help with caring for our home, our daughter and the ceremonial cacao business I am starting up.
We live in Ojochal, Puntarenas, in a beautiful and serene location surrounded by nature. There is a beautiful waterfall and creek next door (see photos). We are not too far from the village but far away from the noise and chaos. Everyone who comes here says how quiet it is. We have a spacious and beautiful home with a pool and we are located in a gated community so it's really safe. It's the perfect place to discover the healing nature of Costa Rica and come back to yourself.
We aspire to live in community, and the dream we are actively working on is to live in an intentional community where we can support one another, share resources, live from the land and thrive! We love community gatherings, singing, dancing and spending time in nature.
We eat really clean, so the ideal person also follows a healthy diet and lifestyle. We are early risers, quiet and relaxed people.
I am *really* looking for the right person, not just anyone. Female of preference, gentle energy. I am not scheduling workawayers months ahead of time because that's not how I work. So check back, my calendar is closed but it might open up.
**Please note: I dislike messages written with chatgbt.

Help
Main role is to be a "mother's helper". This means support with:
-caring for our daughter, who is pretty easy
-cooking healthy meals
-doing dishes
-keeping the house tidy
And secondly I need support with my cacao business, especially with tempering and packaging.
So you must enjoy children, cooking and chocolate!
Languages
Languages spoken
English: Fluent
French: Fluent
Spanish: IntermediateThis host offers a language exchange
Our Spanish could definitely use some improvement! Happy to teach English or French in exchange.
Accommodation
You will have your own bedroom with a queen bed and your own private bathroom. The bedroom is very dark and quiet, but expect our daughter to be up at 5:30am-6am, so it's not a place to sleep in late. Most people in Costa Rica wake up early.
What else ...
It’s a 15 min drive to the ocean and 30 min from Uvita. It's the right place for someone who wants to live slowly and just be, not seeking to do all sorts of stuff all the time because without a car it can be more difficult to get around. Also! We are planning on moving to Chirripo in December or January so be aware of this move if you want to stay longer.
