Description
Hola! We are a family of 6 with four children aged 15,6,5 and 3. We recently spent about 2 years traveling after leaving the beautiful island of Oahu, Hawai'i in the United States. We live most of the year in a tiny beach town 6.5 hours outside of Panama City, Panama. The other months of the year we are based out of San Antonio, Texas.
Darnell is a retired veteran and Summer is a traveling birth worker. Our kids are very active and enjoy the freedom of unrestricted outdoor play. Our children are going to be in school during the day and in the evenings, they attend activities like Jiu-Jitsu, swimming in the pool/ocean, and playing with friends until the sun goes down. We remain active and value quality time with friends outdoors.
Due to midwifery school and my current position with the state of Texas, I (Summer) will be staying in Texas and my husband Darnell and 4 children will be in Panama City beginning August. We are looking for a workaway that will take on cleaning and cooking as their main tasks.

There are also small planes that fly around the country for a fee. Many historical options in Panama City as well (Casco Viejo, Panama Canal of course, etc.)

I had a really really great time with those five and enjoyed every second with the whole family.
Everyone tried to make me feel comfortable and that I always had enough time for myself and the island.
The kids are incredibly adorable, sweet as sugar and super clever. It was a lot of fun to accompany them in discovering… read more
