We are a family with Mom, Dad, and two boys (ages 3 and 6 mos old)looking for a caretaking opportunity in Boulder county. We've lived in Boulder for almost 3 years and have excellent references available upon request. Mom is a great cook, professional housecleaner, vegetable gardner, canner, seamstress, hand spinner of yarn, knitter, organizer, has experience taking care of horses too. Dad is good with computers, also avid gardner, snow shoveler, lawn mower, wood-chopper, window washer, and over-all handy man. The boys are full of smiles and laughs and very well behaved. We need a place to live in exchange for work. A salary may not be necessary and is negotiable depending on amount of work needed. Ideally we would like to be involved in a sustainable living lifestyle that includes gardening and permaculture practices. The living space should have plenty of light and room enough for the whole family, electricity and internet. Also should be easily accessible with a front wheel drive.

  • Am I dreaming or what? Well, I guess it's a more common thing in Canada where I used to live for caretakers to live on the land they work. What a beautiful life that was... a situation that was good for everyone. Are the old ways dead and gone in the states? I am a big dreamer I know, but there's got to be someone out there that could use my help... and my husband Daniel's.
