Program Details

Depending on how many people are available to work on any given day, you could work starting 6:30 in the morning to 16:00 in the afternoon.

We will limit your working hours to 25 hours a week, with varying number of hours from one day to another.
There is always the option of paid overtime, getting tips and if you have additional skills like driving, are willing to help load and unload luggage or are good with repairs we can discuss what you could earn.

Activities & Shift

Routine in the Guest House:
- 6:30 to 7:00 cleaning up the breakfast area and putting on the coffee pot
- 7:00 to 8:00 preparing breakfast
- 8:00 to 10:00 serving and cleaning up after breakfast
- 10:00 to 14:00 housekeeping or cooking lunch for the staff
- sometimes later in the afternoon washing the sheets and towels and ironing them

Routine with the kids
It would be great if for my kids (2 girls of 8 and 11 years) to get to know you, your native language and culture. If you like to take them to the beach or do some activities with them, that would be great. But if it is not your thing, don't worry, it is optional.

Rules

Please be respectful to the guests, be friendly and polite, and try to be a good teammate.
Keep quiet when in your room in the evening as your accommodation is right next to the guest rooms.
