Description
Hi, this is the profile of Hanne and Anna, mother and daughter. Some years ago we created a separate apartment in the first floor for Anna and her family as a weekend space and for the workawayers to feel at home for themselves.
!!!IMPORTANT!!! READ THE FOLLOWING!!!!
Hanne's English is basic, so we can only host English or German native speakers.
Also we've learned in the past that hosting couples suits us best.
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.
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 sometimes that is 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 exactly how she wants things to be done.
Hanne 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 when they come over.
You have your own kitchen. Usually Hanne will take you grocery shopping on your first day. And fill up your fridge and food shelves on demand.
There will be room for shared meals and social exchange as well for sure!
There are two cats living in the house.

As a teacher, Hanne is happy ho help improving your German...
Hanne also loves to take the volunteers on grocery-shopping-trip and show them the area, giving tipps of what to do in the free time...
Anna is a horticulturist and social worker.
Also experienced in outdoor stuff, Anna is happy to share knowledge about the area.
Hikes, bike tours, swimming in the nearby lakes and rivers, you name it.
Help
Your work will include helping Hanne along in her 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.
