  Descrição

  Help take care of our 3 year old daughter and soon-to-arrive second baby and help keep the general household running smoothly
  
  My wife, daughter and I are French and American and moved to Portugal 2 years ago. We are based on two neighboring properties in nature, 5 minutes from a renowned local surf beach, 15 min from Ericeira and 25 min from Sintra; 50 min from Lisbon.
  On one of our properties, we host a forest school for children ages 3-6, where our daughter attends on weekdays from 9am-5pm. On this property we are also building a dome house where we will be living and have a smaller dome for events, music, yoga as well as a wood fire sauna.
  On our neighboring property (10min walk), we rent a small house and have installed a caravan which will be your accommodation during your time with us. The caravan has running water, electricity, internet, and an outdoor bathroom, and is separate from the house so you have your private space - it is effectively a stand-alone studio for a single person.

  Ajuda

  We are looking for someone to integrate our family routine and help with the running of our household, 20-25 hours a week.
  This will include:
  - picking up our daughter after school and
  - helping with the afternoon/evening routine with the kids (afternoon play, dinner, bath and bedtime)
  - helping with the new baby during the day on an ad hoc basis
  - helping with light household chores - tidying house, laundry, food shopping, cooking
  - occasional evening babysitting
  
  The main hours we are looking for will be 3-5 hours a day, Tuesday - Saturday, on weekdays this will mainly be during the after school period from 5-8pm, and a few hours on Saturdays. On an ad hoc basis there will be evening babysitting, which if goes over the weekly number of hours will be compensated.
  Our daughter loves to be active (climbing, riding her bike, going for walks), as well as imaginary play; we are looking for someone who will be happy to take her on active outings and also play with her at home.
  
  We provide housing, food, access to a car, and a weekly stipend.
  We are looking for someone who loves kids, wants to be in nature, is flexible and comfortable with a variety of tasks. In exchange we provide a beautiful living arrangement in nature and time in a welcoming family environment. Depending on interest there is also space for involvement in the projects we have ongoing on the property.

  Acomodação

  You will have your own on-site caravan (7m long - fully kitted). The caravan is spacious and has a lovely view overlooking the forest. The caravan has running water, electricity, internet, and an outdoor bathroom, and is separate from the house so you have your private space - it is effectively a stand-alone studio for a single person.
  
  Regarding meals, you have your own kitchen and a weekly food allowance so you can buy what you prefer (we can also consolidate our shopping when we go to the market for fresh produce). Our car or bicycle can also be borrowed if you want to head to the local market/supermarkets. On the whole, you will be mostly autonomous for dining.

  Algo mais...

  When not helping, you can borrow our car to visit the nearby area, or borrow a surfboard and hit the beach which is a short walk from the forest. We are at the heart of a World Surf Reserve. There are many breaks depending on conditions and levels. The forest is located above Praia de Vigia (a beautiful wild beach) and 5 min from Praia de Sao Juliao (a good beginner beach). We also have mountain bikes you can borrow or go for long trail runs.
  For city activities, we are located 15 min from Ericeira, 25 min from Sintra, and 50 min from Lisbon by car.
