Program Details

It would be great if you could help me to keep the house and outside areas a little bit clean (we are always far from being tidy :-D) Thus, I often need to dive under piles of laundry... In spring and summer there is always a lot of work in the vegetable garden too - I love to work, but also, kids keep me busy a lot.

If you are good with kids and maybe speak some German - we love to get you involved in play - being active with the kids as well!!! Thus, someone who would like to stay longterm (half a year or more) as kind of an au -pair is of course very welcomed too.


Activities & Shift

Times to work are very flexible, most of the household work just waits until it gets done :-D It's great if you are around at sometime during the day to get the kitchen clean. Sometimes I do more complicated lunch, where it's great to have more than 2 hands...

You'll be surounded by 3-4 kids (5,3,0 years) + our niece (3 years)
If you like to be with the kids:
Especially in the summer we need someone who is also helping with activities as swimming, hiking, etc. If you have a driving licence, that's great, but it's not a must. Our children love music and books! Therefore German would help a lot ;-)

Rules

Please no smoking (any kind) on the property beacause of safety issues.
