  Description

  I am a 34-year old single mum, living in the countryside with my family 🪵✨🍀💕
  I am an artist and also work at the local Museum Cafetera 4days a week
  
  My son Angelo is 4-years amazing sunshine, with a big heart and a strong will! He is very lively and hyperactive. Angelo is also neurodevelopmental differences, for example he is hyper sensitive to touch and has sensory seeking behaviour.
  
  The help with us would needs to be flexible and able to be self-initiate as well.
  The help varies according to seasons.
  
  In the winter we use alot of time to warm the house, and the wood needs to be carried inside from the barn. In the winter when it snows there's some light snow work, and likewise in the summer mowing the lawn and watering plants. Spring time we plant and fall we harvest.
  
  You would be possibly helping with cooking, (we are vegetarian) babysitting, cleaning, driving license a huge plus! Walking the dogs, they are quite easy, the bigger dog is able to be outdoors by her self but smaller needs to be guarded or on a leash.
