The Experience

We’re a small family living sustainably on our off-grid farm, growing our own food and embracing a nature-filled life. We need a warm, dependable volunteer to help look after our adventurous 2-year-old daughter—playing outside, reading books, and keeping her busy while we work the land. If you’re keen, you can also join in with easy farm tasks like gathering eggs from our chickens or tending our vegetable garden (totally up to you!).
