    Description

    I'm a single mum running an eco-friendly, vegetarian, small & cosy kids-friendly beach hotel on the northern coast of the Peloponnese, in Greece and I need some help!

    The hotel is located in a picturesque village next to a pebble beach and seaside pine forest. It offers eco-friendly, baby-friendly accommodation in fully-equipped apartments, vegetarian/vegan meals in the summer and often hosts yoga retreats and other special events.

    It's the end of the season and I am burned out from the 7month stretch of non-stop activity. I am looking for help with household chores, with my children and ideally some cooking too.

    I offer accommodation in a private apartment inside the hotel, in a beautiful spot, next to the beach and the forest. In your free time you can enjoy swimming, our SUP, walking and jogging in the forest, our bicycles, the communal tennis court a few steps from our hotel, our yoga mats, ping pong and giant chess on our amazing roof garden and much more.

    I love hosting friends and volunteers from around the world. I enjoy the community of like-minded people very much, showing them the beauties of our area, eating and traveling together.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    We are located in a small village next to the sea. Although the area receives quite a lot of tourists in the summer, it is mostly Athenians on a break from the big city and residents in the winter. This means that the area has retained most of its authenticity and charm. If you are looking for a place where you can see how real Greeks live, this is a very good opportunity for you!

    Help

    I are looking for a caring and sweet person to help me take care of my home and children. Communication with them will be in English.
    Around the house, I need help with keeping things tidy and clean. This involves regular sweeping, mopping, laundry, cleaning etc.
    As regards the children, your tasks will include playing with them, reading, preparing meals, putting them to bed and occasionally night-time baby-sitting. One is learning French, the other German, so help with their language-learning would be a plus.
    I would be grateful for someone who cooks well and can help us out with family meals (mainly vegetarian/vegan).

  • Accommodation

    Accommodation

    You will be lodged inside the hotel, in your own apartment. The hotel has a nice garden and a roof garden with an amazing view of the sea. We have a multi-lingual library, which you can use and free WiFi. We are located just steps from the beach.
    As regards meals: Our home kitchen is where most of the cooking takes place. We usually each have our own breakfast at different times, lunch all together and dinner flexibly. Please note that we rarely eat meat and fish at home.

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    The hotel is located just a few steps from the beach and from a wonderful seaside pine forest. We offer bicycles, a SUP board, a ping pong table, giant chess, tennis raquettes and generally speaking a healthy and gorgeous location! We are located just 2 hours from Athens, so you can spend some time getting to know that great city too! The village has tavernas and coffee places, as well as a small mini market. The closest town is 2km away and you can reach by foot or bicycle through the seaside pine forest. There you will find shops, tavernas, bars etc.
