Program Details

For the specific period mentioned, you will have some responsibilities that are a bit bigger than in other periods, because I will not be there. You will be in charge of taking care of guests, but you will not be alone. We have the help of local neighbours (gardener, 1 day a week cleaning lady, and another neighbour that sometimes can do the cooking). You will have a private room and in the house there also will be the grandfather and my children. The grandfather takes care of the children. And you ( as a couple) will take care of the farm and the daily tasks of the ecohotel and some farm work (gardening if there is time). Normally volunteers work 4 to 5 hours and they will get a place to sleep and a warm lunch. Since you will have more responsibilities and sometimes work more hours (that depends), I will provide you with all the meals. I expect from you a high dosis of responsibility, a social mentality to express to guests, to my children, grandfather, and the rest of the people with whom you will interact. Eye for a clean environment and for detail is highy appreciated. it is important to at least have a basic or intermediate level of Spanish. It is important that you like cooking and that you are also good at making nice meals.
I really would like if you have afinity with teaching english to my children (11 and 13) some hours a week. Our dog Oso loves to interact and play and I would really like if you can run and play with him every day.
I will be in contact with you from a distance, by whatsapp for urgent questions and guests reservations. Daily communication will be with the grandfather and my children, and with local staff.
