Description
Hi, this is the profile of Hanne (70) and Anna (39), mother and daughter.
Hanne lives downstairs.
Anna and her family live on the first floor.
The garden is shared.
Also the workawayers room is on the first floor. Kitchen and bathroom will be shared with Anna, her partner and her daughter.
!!!IMPORTANT!!! READ THE FOLLOWING!!!
Your english should be quite good, to make communication easier. For Hanne it is best if you speak some german or VERY slow English, but not a must.
Also we can only host people 27+
Please only send us a request if these conditions apply to you.
WE WILL ONLY REPLY TO YOUR MESSAGE IF THESE CONDITIONS APPLY TO YOU.
Anna has been doing a lot of workawaying in the past all over the world. When she came back to settle down she had her mother in the big house become a host.
Meanwhile we all live here together and revive and enjoy this great place.
Hanne is a retired Primary School teacher. She loves to spend time in her little paradise, although maintainig it is a lot of work and that is clearly getting on top of her... That's why we need you!
You have to be able to work independently!
You have to to ask if there are any things unclear and admit when you don't know how things are done.
Hanne will happily explain how she wants things to be done.
We would like to host for short term stays (1-2 weeks) only.
If it suits for both sides, your stay can be extended.
Expected working time is 25 hours per week, placed as it suits you. No problem if you want a whole day off at some stage, as long as the amount of hours gets done/project gets finished.
It might be good to work a full day helping with a current project, and having another day off instead.
In exchange for your help you'll get free accommodation. This means your own room.
The upstairs living room/kitchen, balcony and bathroom will be shared with Anna and family.
Usually we take you grocery shopping on your first day. And fill up the fridge and food shelves on demand.
Also the veggies and fruit from the garden can be used if available.
And eggs from our chickens (soon) project is coming up.
We might not have all the meals together, so please be able to cater for yourself.
There will be room for shared meals and social exchange as well for sure!
There are two cats living in the house.
Hanne is a smoker.

Help
Your tasks will include helping along in our daily routine, which may include some
- vacuuming, floor cleaning
- cleaning windows, general cleaning
- watering the garden,
- weeding and working in the garden
- mowing the lawn
- piling firewood
Basicly your projects will be chosen according to your skills and preferences.
Cleaning up after yourself in the kitchen and the bathroom doesn't count as a skill but should just be self explaining.
We expect you to be honest, willing to make your stay a great opportunity to live and laugh together, learn about each other's culture, but leaving both sides the space they need.
