Program Details

I live in Remetschwil, in the canton of Aargau, with my three kids, who are 8, 6, and 3 years old. We are looking for a helping hand around the house, including cooking and gardening. Occasionally, you might also look after the children when I’m away.
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!
About me: I speak several languages and am very curious about people from different countries. I really enjoy cultural exchange, and my kids are very open-minded as well. I play the piano - so if you play as well, you can use it - and am a professional singer and songwriter. Next to this, I work for a hospital clowning organisation.
On the top floor, we have a small flat where you can stay, so you’ll have your own private space. You can stay for up to three months, but shorter stays are also possible if you prefer.
Two questions for those interested in joining us:
What is your reason for wanting to do this exchange?
What household tasks do you particularly enjoy?
