Description
2025: Unfortunately, a Workawayer cancelled on me today due to a family problem. So now I am looking for someone who can come at short notice in November or December to prune the roses and a few other bushes, mow the lawn one last time, etc. About a week to 12 days would be ideal.
---
Hello, my name is Andrea. I am 62 years old and live with my husband Hans in one half of the house. I would describe myself as creative, open-minded, spiritual and straightforward. I recently retired. My daughter Rafaela is 27 and lives in part of the second house with her two cats. There is plenty of space for you, and you will have your own bedroom and bathroom. You will have to share the kitchen and living room.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Types of help and learning opportunities
Gardening
DIY and building projects
Help around the house
House and pet sitting
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Vienna is a wonderful city with many sights and a lot of cultural offers.
Help
It would be important to me that you bring experience with gardening. Manual skills would also be helpful.
Languages spoken
German: Fluent
English: Beginner
Accommodation
The new house has two residential units. I live in one and you can live in the other. That means you have plenty of space for yourself (bedroom, large living room with kitchen, bathroom, WC). It's very quiet here, so you can relax in your free time. Many workawayers have already confirmed this to me. There is also a lovely terrace in the garden that you can use on your own. Recreational areas (forest) are on the doorstep, yet there are good public transport connections.
What else ...
A public bus that starts a few minutes from the house takes you to downtown Vienna in 30 minutes. The underground can be reached in 15 minutes on foot and also takes you to various culturally interesting places. There are countless sights, parks and museums to discover in Vienna. There are famous shopping streets as well as theater and concert offerings.

I stayed with Andrea in August for three weeks and felt very serene and peaceful at her place. My main tasks were gardening, watering, weeding, and a little bit of house cleaning towards the end.
I had my own private space to stay, which gave me both comfort and privacy—sometimes that’s all we really need.

Evelyn and Sam were my guests for 10 days. They were always friendly, tidy, attentive and enjoyed working in my garden.

In their free time, they explored Vienna with just as much joy and energy. I can only… read more

Finn was with us for a fortnight. He is a friendly young man and has a good manner. He still has a lot to learn to be a helpful workawayer. I had to buy and explain all the work several times. Many things remained half done until the end. He also had little motivation to do anything. When asked about it, however, he made an effort to improve it.… read more

He put a lot of thought into things and also contributed his own ideas. He was a great help to us. We also had very good conversations with him. I can only recommend him highly.

Letizia was with me in Vienna for barely a week and during this time she helped me wonderfully in many areas. She did chores in the garden with perseverance and was also a great help around the house. Structuring my chaotic basement went very quickly with her and was fun. Her calm and considerate manner made her a pleasant roommate.
