Description
We are a German-Austrian family of five. We are living in a semi-detached house with a big garden in a very small village in south-east Bavaria close to the Austrian border. Our oldest two daughters have moved out to study and the youngest one is here on the weekends and spending the rest of the time in boarding school to become a seamstress.
We are working in the fields of health and software engineering.
We have two cats and often kittens in the summer months. Sometimes other animals like ducks or chicken roam through our garden. We are located close to Chiemsee (6km). It's one of the biggest lakes in Germany. There are also mountains close by.
We' re looking for help in the household and garden.
As a family we enjoy playing board games, juggling, knitting, cycling and spending time in nature. We are also interested in politics and living a healthy live style. We are all vegetarians and don't smoke or consume alkohol.
We hope to welcome you soon!

Accommodation
You will get your own room with a bed, cupbord and desk/table. You are sharing the bathroom and the kitchen with us. One time a day there will be a hot meal. The rest of the day you can pick your meals yourself from our vegetarian kitchen. If you are allergic to any food, just tell us, we will find a solution (three of us can't eat gluten and one also no milk). All of our food is organic.
We haven't got wifi and if you have a mobile phone you need to put it on airplane mode in the house. But you can go online via cable. It works very well.
We have a bycicle for you and the next trainstation is 1,5 km away the busstation 1km. Buses and trains go ca. 3 times an hour during daytime but less in the evening. We also have a piano if you want feel free to play.
Also we are all non-smokers, don't drink alkohol and would prefer if you would adhere to these principles as well.
What else ...
In your free time you can do whatever you want. You can make trips or lie in the garden. Also we enjoy playing board games. Feel free to join!!!
Sometimes we make trips (a lot of cycling, but sometime other things as well) at weekends. Of course you can join us if you want.
We live near the Chiemsee (6km). It's one of the biggest lakes in Germany. There you have the opportunity to swim, sail, wind surf, SUP, etc. Also there are the islands Herreninsel with the castle Herrenchiemsee and the Fraueninsel which you can visit by boat in the summermonths. You can also go cycling in our beautiful landscape (we have a bycicle for you). There is also the opportunity to enjoy the mountains and go hiking in the nearby mountains ca one hour away by train. You can visit Munich ca 2 hours away and Salzburg (Austria, famous for Mozart and Sound of Music) ca 1 hour away by public transport, Also you can make a daytrip to Berchtesgaden and enjoy the national park Berchtesgaden with the famous Königssee.
