  Description

  I am looking for a long-term Workawayer starting right away in May.
  
  (for the kids it is great to get to know you and have you 2 months stay with us up to 6 months)
  
  I have 3 kids (4, 8 and 13 years old) and we have a long-term volunteer who will leave u now because he is needed by his family. I would love to find someone with experiences with kids, who is very reliable and who likes to cook.
  
  You will have plenty of time for yourself and we have experiences with organizing everything - a weekly schedule, tasks and some flexibility (kids might get sick).
  
  We live in a 5 bedroom- apartment in Vienna 22. district close to U1 and Alte Donau/ Donauinsel in a community house project.
  
  Aleksandra, mom, 43 years: I work with EU funds for youth projects. I studied communication and gender studies, travelled a lot, was teaching at university, and like film projects. In our free time I like to go out into nature, do sports, go dancing or concerts. Most of the time it's work & kids though :)
  
  We speak German, a bit Slovene at in the family and we can speak English. Little Muriel is 50% with his dad, his 8 years old sister Lela & teeny Nika stay every second weekend at there dads .
  
  @ Muriel is our 4years old one in kindergarten, he loves books, biking, music and dinos.
  @ Nika is a footballer, has matches every weekend, is a teeny , in Gymnasium (7th grade), who likes gaming , video eds, swimming, his friends and football.
  @ Lela is in 2. Klasse Volksschule, ist best friends with our neighbour Katja. She likes swimming, being creative , music, biking. Lela is a vegetarian (cause she doesn't want to eat animals).
  
  Muriel and Lela can play nicely, but do get into fights. The kids are used to international people and are open-minded. But do note: there are 3 of them at very different ages. Thats where you‘d come in!
  
  We live in a house project with women and international & Austrian families. We get on well with the people and kids in the house. We have nice shared common spaces: a sunshiny big rooftop terrace with a great view, a garden with trees, a little playground and meadow, a Gemeinschaftsraum (common room with kitchen) and a sauna for all in the house to use.
  
  You will have your own room with a bed, a desk, a wardrobe, WiFi and a shared balcony towards the South. The house is just a 5min walk to the U1 Kagraner Platz (20 min to Stephansplatz, 10min to Praterstern). You can bike and swim in the Alte Donau (10min). There is a shop on the other side of the road and a soccer playground next to our house.
  
  Our household is smoke-free. One may smoke outside (on the balcony). I think a transparent communication and a good organization are important so that family life, work and volunteer time can work well together :)
  
  To sum up: we do need help with household chores such as cooking, dish washer, laundry, grocery shopping. And to spend afterwork time with us: pick up the kids, play & be creative with them, go swimming or to matches with us, study with Nika...

  We find it so cool to live so close to the metro: U1 Kagraner Platz, guaranteeing a fast connection to Vienna city center, Hauptbahnhof, Maria Hilferstraße, MQ, Donauinsel...
  There is a big cultural (music /museum/ arts) scene in Vienna to discover.
  We live close to such nice places like Alte Donau, Donaupark, Danube, the Donauzentrum (mall). We are happy to go to nice places together - we like to do rope climbing and bouldering, swimming, biking, go to playgrounds like motoric park or go on little hiking tours. I have a car, too.
  There is a direct bus to the airport from Karan and the U1 is going from Hauptbahnhof Vienna to Kagraner Platz.
