Come and help with 2 children, 4 chickens in Tulum, Mexico

Details

• 

  Description

  Not far from the center of tulum, we have an off grid house, large garden, 4 chickens, 2 guinea fowl a cat and 2 children.
  My wife is currently in Europe with our eldest daughter, leaving me in charge of the above plus our business.
  
  
  You'll have plenty of time to explore tulum and surroundings ( and a bike to get around ). We're a 10 min walk from the center of town, 15 min bike ride to the beach and cenotes.
  
  We provide food, 1 cooked main meal ( I can't cook 3 times a day, you're welcome to help), we eat almost everything, carnivores for sure, although we're not adverse to vegetarian and love trying new dishes.
  
  The house is off grid with composting toilets, you need to be energy conscious, we have great internet, you'll have your own bedroom ( single bed + mattress on the floor ) with bathroom/shower.
  
  That being said, we look forward to sharing our slice of paradise with you....

  Help

  I'm very relaxed with regards to our requirements, mainly being with the children when I'm not around ( or so I get a couple of hours off when I am ), they love art, reading, swimming, playing, walking, biking and talking ( alot...), plus a couple more projects - sewing cusion covers ( we have a machine ), carpentry ( loads of tools ), bike repairs ( we have a few ) as well as gardening, cleaning around the house and teaching us the meals you like to cook.
  Previous workawayers have painted murals, done woodwork, helped my son learn to ride his bike, cooked, house sat, gardened, most importantly have been good company.
