  Descripción

  🌿 Hi! We are Cristiano and Marie
  We live in Delfim Moreira, Minas Gerais, and work with small hotels in the beautiful Serra da Mantiqueira.
  
  We manage three different places where we rent rooms to guests.
Volunteers stay and work in two of them:
  
  🏡
  Our home, located in Rosário, in the countryside, 7 km from the city center, surrounded by mountains.
This is where volunteers stay most of the time.
Here we also have animals and a vegetable garden.
  
  🏨
  Our hotel in the city center of Delfim Moreira.
📍 15 minutes by car 
📍 10 minutes on foot from the main supermarket
This is the second place where volunteers may stay during the exchange.
Delfim Moreira is a quiet, small, and safe town.
  
  🌲
  A wooden house in the middle of the forest, 24 km from Delfim Moreira, which we visit only from time to time. Volunteers do not stay there.
  
  
  It is very common for volunteers to stay and work in both locations, which we see as a positive and enriching experience:
one place is more isolated and close to nature, the other is urban but calm and peaceful.
  We decide together where you will stay and for how long, depending on the current situation.
We are regularly present in both locations
  
  ⚠️ Independence & Trust
  Volunteers will often spend time without us being physically present.
Cristiano and I move frequently between the 3 places (where we are developing a new project).
Marie also works online.
  For this reason, it is essential that volunteers are independent, reliable, and trustworthy, and comfortable managing their tasks responsibly and autonomously, without constant supervision.
  
  
  ❗ IMPORTANT – PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE APPLYING
  The main mission of our volunteers is to keep our spaces clean, organized, and always ready to welcome guests.
This is by far the most important part of the work.
  
  🧹 Daily tasks mainly include:
  * Cleaning guest rooms and common areas
  * Keeping kitchens, bathrooms, and outdoor spaces clean and well organized
  * Laundry management: washing, drying, folding, and putting sheets, towels, and linens back in their correct storage places
  * Preparing clean bedding for guests
  * Gardening and basic outdoor maintenance
  * Watering the house plants
  * Watering the vegetable garden and taking care of weeds
  * Feeding and taking care of the animals (dogs, chickens, horses, etc.)
  
  
  ⏰ HOURS OF WORK EXPECTED
  * Volunteers are expected to contribute 4 to 5 hours of work per day
  * There are no fixed daily schedules, and some flexibility is possible in how the hours are organized
  * However, the full 4 to 5 hours must be completed each day
  * Volunteers are entitled to two days off per week
  
  
  🚫 MAY NOT BE FOR YOU IF…
  If you are not comfortable with cleaning, making nice beds, and organizing spaces, this experience may not be the right match.
  
  
  ❤️ PLEASE REMEMBER
  We are a small, independent business in a non-touristic town, and running this project requires a lot of effort.
We hope to welcome volunteers who truly want to help during their stay, who put heart and care into their work hours, and who wish to contribute to Oca’s growth and well-being.
  
  
  🌄 Life at Oca
  If you’re looking for a quiet place surrounded by nature, you will love Oca.
The landscapes are beautiful, with waterfalls nearby and lovely places to walk.
At certain times of the year, mountain climbing is also possible.
  This is a great opportunity to experience real countryside life in Minas Gerais.
It’s calm and peaceful — perfect for introspection, connection with nature and animals, reading, playing music, and making campfires 🔥🎶
  
  ✨ We hope to welcome you to our team and make this place grow together.
Come and join us! 😊
