The Experience

I live in Remetschwil, in the canton of Aargau, with my three kids. We are looking for a helping hand around the house, including cooking and gardening. Occasionally, you might also look after the children. What you get in return: a quiet place surrounded by nature, yet not far from towns like Baden, Bremgarten, and Zurich. You’ll love the walks you can take here!

Volunteering at Simona's home was a truly grounding and heartwarming experience. From day one, I felt safe, welcomed, and free to be myself. Simona is transparent, respectful, and her family has a beautiful energy. Taking care of the kids was easy and enjoyable; they're independent, sweet, and fun to be around. The village of Remetschwil is quiet and surrounded by nature, perfect for those who enjoy a slower pace, and at the same time, it's well-connected.

My experience with Simona and her kids was incredible. I felt really confortable from the beginning, all the hours and days are respected as it says on the app, and one week I even had to change the days that I could work because I had to fly unexpectedly and Simona was really flexible and understanding. The position really says it all, I sometimes cooked, watched for the kids, but most of all was helping around the house with cleaning and making order. I really recommend this volunteering position!

I absolutely loved my time with Simona! From the moment I arrived, she greeted me with warmth and excitement right away at the baggage claim. This comforted all my fears immediately of traveling solo to a new Country. The upstairs apartment was clean, modern, and very spacious - an ideal home away from home. Simona went above and beyond to make sure I felt comfortable and cared for in many ways. I highly recommend spending time with Simona and helping out with her lovely children and beautiful home. It truly was a memorable and heartwarming experience.
