  Description

  We are a family of five kids and two adults. Our kids are homeschooled/unschooled, and we love to engage in the natural world and create things. My husband is a carpenter and I stay home with the kids. We are looking for help around the house (tidying, yardwork, cooking, etc) and with the kids (babysitting and possible homeschooling). My husband and I are both travelers and now it is our turn to be the host, as many have hosted us whilst we have been away from home.
