Informationen
Beschreibung
We are looking for someone to help for a week or two to assist with getting the boat ready for winter... depending on the weather this will involve outdoor activities in the garden, such as raking leaves, stapling or cutting wood, weather-proofing the deck or indoor help with household tasks, possibly some painting and looking after the cats.
I am an International Citizen who has lived and worked in many parts of the world and I enjoy hosting guests and friends from all over. I moved to Berlin in 2016 and have been living on the large houseboat ever since. My partner Micha joined me on the boat a few years ago. We work a lot and enjoy doing this together with others in a team.
We have a number of jobs on the boat which require ongoing attention, different paint and repair jobs, wood cutting, chopping and stapling as well as a number of household related tasks.
We have two cats
thank you and greetings

Robin is very sweet, interested and immensely helpful workaway guest. He stayed 11 days with us and completed all assigned tasks with great dedication and skill. He is very neat and orderly. As an example we asked him to clean the (many) windows on the boat - and I have never seen them sparkle like this... He was also very open and interested,… read more

Nicole offered her experience as a house sitter during our initial email exchange, and I took up her offer for our summer vacation of three weeks.

Arushi was friendly, very helpful and a joy to have around. She worked hard painting the boat and did not rest until it was finished. She also took care of the cats and was generally considerate, easy-going, and a great person to talk to. I can definitely recommend her as a work-away guest :-)

Had a great time at Hilde’s and we wish we could have stayed for longer. The boat is lovely and the work was fair and not too difficult! The working hours were flexible and we enjoyed chatting to Hilde (and cuddling the cats!).
Would love to come back if we are in Berlin again.
