Description
We are a family of 3 living in Bettys Bay, South Africa, roughly 70km from Cape Town.
Our son goes to a play school in the mornings, but we are looking for someone to take care of him in the afternoons, 4 days a week and would love to expose him to a different language/culture in the process.
We have a separate apartment as well as a car that you can use. The apartment consists of one bedroom, a small study , and en-suite bathroom with shower and a kitchen/living area. The vehicle is manual (stick). In South Africa they drive on the left side of the road. The area is filled with lots of local attractions and specific natural beauty and hiking trails. The house is 1.2km from the beach. Mornings and weekends will be free for travel and exploration.
Types of help and learning opportunities
Babysitting and creative play
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
South Africa is an absolute must see in the world with a very broad culture and lots to see and do. The Western Cape, where we are situated have a very rich mountain range and biodiversity. Bettys Bay is in a protected biosphere with lost of indigenous plants and animals and whales spotted from the beach during Spring.
The surrounding areas have a good music scene and many wine farms and other attractions to visit.
The climate in South Africa is very pleasant.
Projects involving children
This project could involve children. For more information see our guidelines and tips here.
Help
The preferred person should be energetic and friendly.
Main duty will be to play and watch over our son in the afternoons from 13:00 - 17:00, Monday to Thursdays.
We also work from home on the other side of the property. We will be able to assist if needed, so no previous experience required.
It would be amazing if the person speaks a second language besides English and communicate with our son in their own language, but this is not a requirement.
