What kind of position is it?
We are looking for a versatile person who can be a WWOOFer, personal assistant, cook, cleaner, and au pair all rolled up into one!
I currently have a full time personal assistant who will be leaving Japan in a few months so this position can lead to bigger and better opportunities for you.
Quoted from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Au_pair and
An au pair (plural: au pairs) is a domestic assistant from a foreign country working for, and living as part of, a host family. Typically, au pairs take on a share of the family's responsibility for childcare as well as housework.
There is no childcare though for this position.
Worldwide Opportunities on Organic Farms or Willing Workers on Organic Farms, is a loose network of national organisations that facilitate placement of helpers on organic farms.
WWOOFing aims to provide people with first-hand experience in organic and ecologically sound growing methods, to help the organic movement, and to let people experience life in a rural setting or a different country. The host provides food, accommodation, and opportunities to learn, in exchange for assistance with farming or gardening activities.
The duration of the visit can range from a few days to years. Workdays average five to six hours, and participants interact with WWOOFers from other countries.
This page should explain it all but if it does not then this is what this FAQ page is for.
