Activities & Shift

1) Being the nightwatch: You are in charge of the hostel during the night, if people loose their card to enter, or the fire alarm goes off, or guests make to much noise you are the person to come into action. This is overnight from 21:00 until 8:00!

2) Cleaning rooms + hostel: My lovely housekeeping team can use your hand with making my 90 beds. Not 90 beds everyday of course :) I've got 21 unique rooms. All of theme in a different Dutch theme check out the website www.helloimlocal.com

3) Get ready for some cafe fun! You'll be lending a hand during breakfast, lunch, and events – it's all hands on deck! Join the Hello I'm Local team and dive into a variety of tasks. From whipping up coffees to tackling dishes, sprucing up tables, and even helping out our chef!

4) General hostel support can include things like running errands on my behalf in town, putting a fresh coat of paint on the wall, or pulling weeds from my patio - anything and everything I might need a hand with!
