Description
We're Amelia and Brian, and we have two kids - Theodore (2.5) and Ariadne (1). We also have two border collies, Mymble and Morse. We met as digital nomads, lived in Ireland, then moved to the Netherlands. Now it's time for us to move on, we're moving to Edinburgh later this year, and our house still needs a lot of DIY, our kids need a lot of attention, and our dogs need a lot of walking... we have no help and no childcare, we're drowning here! We have a lovely guest room you're welcome to if you have decent DIY competence, lots of energy and a love of little kids, and like walking dogs. If you like sharing a love of cooking good vegan food, even better.
Our house is in Bussum Zuid, you can google the train station of the same name and see how easy it is to get to Amsterdam and Utrecht, as well as other cities. The station is about 10 minutes away by foot and we have a bike you can borrow too to see the area.
Our house isn't big and I'm at home mostly with the kids, so it would be great if we get along! Dog walks, cooking together, meals together, etc.. - if you want to retreat into peace and quiet this isn't the place for you, there are moments of down time but mostly this is a busy and chaotic (although very friendly) house. You're welcome to take days off to disappear. We don't really have evenings because of the kids so you're welcome to chill in front of the tv and cuddle dogs then. Make yourself at home.
Preferably 25+ please, you'll need to look after yourself quite a bit. You can use your own judgement there though! Also if you're physically strong - that's better! A month or more to stay is better, too.
We are a strictly vegan house please (although you don't have to be vegan to stay).Types d'aide et opportunités d'apprendre

Aide
The help that I need is:
Playing with the children (one of us will almost certainly also be home).
Dog walking - they are strong dogs!
DIY - there's a lot of really DIY to do we just don't have time for. Sanding down and painting lots of woodwork, doors, touch ups, finishing painting, wall sanding...
Gardening - helping make it neat and tidy
Cooking vegan meals
General household work, helping outLangues parlées
Anglais: Courant
Allemand: IntermédiaireHébergement
You'll have your own room, there will be food in the pantry for meals - most of the time we'll cook/eat together. It's a strict vegan household but other than that, work away!
Autres infos...
The train is a 10 minute walk away and you can easily access the rest of the country by public transport from there. We are very centrally location and it's a small country.
