More details about your skills
I'm very all-round. I have extensive experience from my family's summer house where I from a low age have done painting, carpentry, stone and brick laying and other related house work. I have also cared for both my parents and my grandmothers garden, growing vegetables, pruning berry bushes and trees etc. I am very well familiar with the concept of a forest garden/permaculture and I have myself been occupied with creating one.

I have some experience of taking care of children, several times babysitting both a younger female cousin and the little sister of a friend. Since many years ago, younger children have had a great trust in me and wanted me to play with them, read stories or help them with certain things. I think this ability of mine has helped me greatly in terms of promoting compassion, understanding and patience. My experience of being a substitute teacher in middle school has also taught me a great deal about dealing with people.

I'm generally proficient with household work, cleaning, doing diy, running errands etc. Cooking is a great interest of mine and I would be happy to share some of my recipies of vegetarian food!

Left by Workawayer (Nils) for host (Self-sustainable family ...)

Late at night I managed to find this gem of a workaway, a wonderfully welcoming and kind italian family in a house that looked like it belonged in Hobbiton, perched high up on the mountain side. From the very beginning I was made part of the family, was well fed and made sure to feel at home. Elisa, Claudia and the other members of the family are… read more

I spent around a week at Stefan’s place during Christmas together with my brother. The work was managable and interesting and Stefan made sure to integrate us into the family during the holidays and is a very generous person. Communication went smoothly most of the time, but sometimes the expectations regarding the task at hand or the amount of… read more

My five weeks with Gunnar went by way too fast! I got the opportunity to gain first hand experience in organ building and altough I had some longer days the work was always motivating!

Nils, what would it have been without you and your unicorn onesie!
We are so happy Nils was able to join us, he got along so well with the other staff members and really made the time and effort to make everyone feel included. He worked hard, always showed up with a smile or a crazy story, and truly lived his best Oktoberfest life. We would… read more

Very difficult to summarize a workaway like this in just a couple of paragraphs. I stayed for the entire period from the 9th of September until the 6th of October. My role was mainly receptionist which meant doing checkin, checkout, dealing with payments, bookings and calls. I also did other miscellaneous stuff and helped out where needed. I also… read more

Left by host (Help in our self-sufficient ...) for Workawayer (Nils)

Nils helped us a lot during the 2 weeks he was with us. Despite the extremely bad weather, he managed to paint our gables during this time, which was mainly due to his extremely flexible commitment, including on weekends. He also helped in the garden and with cleaning the house. Nils worked very neatly and very independently and hardly needed any… read more

Left by Workawayer (Nils) for host (Help in our self-sufficient ...)

Even before arriving, communication was clear and flexible and Joana very kindly picked me up from the Schwerin-Warnitz train station. Upon arriving in Gottmannsförde, I received a warm welcome from her and Christian and I immediately felt integrated in their family.
The work I was tasked with was painting the gables of the house and during the… read more

Stayed with the family for two weeks during July. For my first workaway, I couldn’t possibly have asked for anything else! Christiane and Florian are both really kind, caring and patient and make you feel very welcome. Since they are experienced hosts everything is very clear and well-organized. They will gladly help you if you have any questions… read more
