Eraida is the woman who comes to my house 3 days a week to help me with cooking and cleaning. She has been such a huge help in my situation. Eraida used to work in some of the local restaurants before working for another family a few years ago. That mother decided, now that her children are older, she only wants her part time. I was very lucky to find somebody who wanted to share their house help.
Eraida has 5 kids of her own ranging from 4 - 30 years old, so handling my 3 is not too much for her. She makes classic Costa Rican food and we get to dine-in Costa Rican style 3 days a week. Her help is invaluable to me. She often brings her son, Sebastian, who is 4 years old, and Maya, Leo and Oliver enjoy his company. They help all of us learn Spanish because they don't really speak English.
The work load of household cleaning is intense here because mold is such a problem. People mop, wipe, clean, dry constantly to prevent any unwelcome invitation for life to flourish in unwanted areas. Our daily lives are like watching a National Geographic nature program in time accelerated speed.
Our neighbor found this in her garden and brought it over for the kids to see.
