  Description

  Welcome to our jungle haven in Puerto Viejo, Costa Rica 🌿🌊
  
  My name is Domino, and I’m a holistic nurse, healer, and single mother of three vibrant, creative, and curious children aged 4, 7, and 11. We live in a soulful home nestled in the lush Caribbean jungle just minutes from stunning beaches, howler monkeys, sacred rivers, and a thriving multicultural community.
  
  What I love most about this land is the aliveness, the birdsong, the rhythm of the ocean, the tropical fruits growing in our yard, and the powerful sense of connection that comes from living close to nature. There’s a magic here that’s hard to describe until you’ve felt it.
  
  We’re in the heart of a conscious, creative, and diverse area filled with herbalists, healers, artists, and permaculture enthusiasts. There's a deep respect for the earth, Afro-Caribbean roots, and indigenous traditions that shape life here. Volunteers often find this place to be a personal retreat as much as it is a work exchange.
  
  About Us and the Help We’re Looking For
  As a solo mama, I’m seeking kind, grounded, and reliable people to help with a variety of tasks, including:
  
  Light childcare and creative play with my kids
  Homeschool support or tutoring (especially in Spanish/English/math/arts)
  Gardening and permaculture projects
  General house help and organizing
  Cooking or meal prep (especially if you love wholesome, nourishing food!)
  Occasional help with community events or healing workshops
  We welcome people who are self-aware, open-hearted, and excited to be part of an intentional and evolving family rhythm. If you’re passionate about nature, children, wellness, and conscious living, this could be a soul-aligned match.
  
  Who's Involved
  Besides me and the kids, we often have local friends and practitioners coming through to share meals, stories, or lend a hand. My children are outgoing, respectful, and used to being around international visitors. We speak both English and Spanish at home.
  
  Occasionally, I work in the healing arts or offer group experiences and retreats, and you might be invited to support or join in, depending on your interests and comfort level.
  
  We’re not just looking for help, we’re inviting you into a rhythm of shared living, mutual respect, and connection.

  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  🌍 Cultural Exchange & Learning
  
  Living with us is more than a work exchange—it’s an invitation to co-create, learn, and grow together in a vibrant, multicultural jungle community.
  
  Social & Community Activities
  You’ll have plenty of opportunities to connect—not only with our family but also with the local scene. Depending on the week, you might:
  Share nourishing meals and conversations with us and our neighbors
  Attend local cacao ceremonies, dance nights, drum circles, or beach gatherings
  Explore farmers’ markets, rivers, waterfalls, and sacred spots with the kids
  Participate in or observe wellness workshops I may be hosting (like KAP sessions, women’s circles, or community healing spaces)
  Join local permaculture meetups, yoga classes, or artisan fairs
  
  Skills & Knowledge We Share
  You’ll experience how we live a lifestyle centered around:
  Conscious parenting
  Holistic health, herbal remedies, kinesiology, and intuitive healing
  Slow living, self-regulation, and creative expression
  Bi-lingual (English/Spanish) communication and cultural awareness
  Emotional intelligence, co-regulation with kids, and nervous system care
  Life in a matriarchal, heart-led household in the Caribbean jungle
  
  💫What We Hope to Learn
  We deeply value cultural exchange and are always excited to learn about:
  New languages, traditions, music, and recipes from your culture
  Your life philosophy, creative gifts, and personal stories
  How other families, educators, or healers live and flow
  Any skills you bring, whether that’s art, cooking, carpentry, storytelling, or simply your presence
  
  Our home is a sanctuary in motion, and each Workawayer leaves their imprint. Hosting travelers from around the world helps my children grow up with a sense of global family, openness, and connection to something greater.

  🌟 Ideal Workawayer 🌟
  
  We are looking for soul-aligned individuals who are open-hearted, responsible, and grounded. Ideally, you:
  Love children and feel confident supporting young ones in creative, nurturing, and respectful ways
  Are independent and self-motivated, able to take initiative and flow with the rhythm of our home
  Have experience or interest in childcare, homeschooling/tutoring, permaculture, natural building, cooking, or organizing
  Are flexible and comfortable with changing needs, jungle life, and a shared living environment
  Are emotionally mature, good at communicating, and committed to respectful co-living
  Are drawn to a lifestyle rooted in nature, healing, slow living, and conscious connection
  Can hold space and help create a peaceful, sacred environment for our family
  Ideally speak Spanish or English, or both!
  
  This experience is best for someone who doesn’t just want a “place to stay,” but wants to contribute to a living, breathing home full of heart, learning, and creative energy.
  
  We welcome solo travelers, traveling couples, or even gentle parents with a child of their own, depending on the season and fit. If you're on a journey of healing, self-discovery, or creative expansion, you'll likely feel right at home.

  Hébergement

  🛏️ Accommodations
  
  Workawayers will have their own private room on the lower level of our jungle home. The space offers privacy, a comfortable bed with a mosquito net, and access to a shared bathroom with a hot water shower—perfect for relaxing after a day of beach walks or jungle work.
  
  You’ll also enjoy:
  Reliable WiFi for staying connected or working remotely
  A shared kitchen for preparing your own meals (or co-creating with us!)
  A large outdoor deck for relaxing, reading, yoga, or watching the rain fall on the jungle canopy
  A bicycle available to get around town easily (the beach is just a 20-minute walk or a 7-minute ride)
  
  Please note: this is a non-smoking home (no tobacco), and we value a peaceful, family-centered environment.
  This space is ideal for someone who enjoys the sounds of the jungle, values personal space, and thrives in a slower, nature connected rhythm.
